This was the view from the service apartment I stayed in while in HK. It’s actually my uncle’s place but he happened to be away during the time I was in HK so the timing worked out well. The view of Victoria Harbour was gorgeous and I could see small and big vessels going to and fro. Right below the apartment was the Avenue of Stars which is populated by tourists throughtout the day.

An extremely cute advertisement at the entrance to the MTR station. According to my friend the ad changes every now and then. But this one was so cute that many people stopped to take photographs of and with it!

I couldn’t help but notice the colourful slippers stacked against the wall in a small opening leading towards a stairway. It seems that EVERY single bit of space is being made use of by the people to peddle anything and everything. There’s something to buy or eat at every little corner. It’s very interesting and charming in its own way actually. All the snaking alleys which lead on from one to another is like a labyrinth which makes for a great walking adventure!

An aerial view of the night market at Temple Street taken from Joe’s wee flat. HK is filled with people and more people. It’s like a perpetual squeeze! Joe introduced me to some of the interesting characters whom he mentions on his blog. It was nice to be able to place a face onto the people he writes about.

One of the many stalls along the famous Women’s Street (女人街) which sells all these kinky underwear. Some of them are so ridiculous looking that frankly I think it induces more laughter than lust!
