Hong Kong

I stopped in Hong Kong on my way to Taipei yesterday to take up a long-standing offer to have a local’s view of the city. Hong Kong is a place I have been to more times that I can remember but somewhere I never feel I have had a chance to get to know.

Hong Kong island from the Star Ferry terminal. Duh.

The People’s Bookshop coffeeshop in Causeway Bay. Maoist kitch/po-mo cool, Hong Kong style. The Little Red Book is actually the menu.

The New Territories.

The new MTR line that runs to the New Territories. Makes just about every other subway system in the world look 19th century.
