very nice photos. of all my time spent in HK, i have not yet been here. its on the list, for sure. i was not aware that it was once a razed slum though. i thought it was a stronghold for mainland forces during one of the wars or something? hmm mabye not. gotta brush up on my history. know any good hk history books?

The Hong Kong Museum of History is extremely good. It is diorama-based.
