Guys - if you don't mind am listing a few locations from FF's photoset.

#103 - Cheung Kong Building (Central, HK)

#101 - Queen's Road Central (Central Business District)

#100 - Gage Street - San Merzano Pizzas are a treat !!

#98 - from left to right - Bank of China, Cheung Kong Building, Old Bank of China in stone, followed by oil-rig HSBC

#90 - IFC - yes that's a winch for the glass cleaners gondola

#89 - Street scene from Wanchai . Sadly that scene won't be there for long as they have earmarked it for URBAN RENEWAL = more glass-scrapers.

#88 - Junction of Queen's Road and Des Voeux Road (Central )

#86 - Wanchai Exhibition Center - infamous for its cockroach inspired design.

Cheers

Thanks p2..

While we're at it, any idea exactly where in Wan Chai the pic in Post 89 is located? I've been trying to find it on Street View ever since my trip but not able to identify the exact spot (I took the pick from a double-decker bus as we passed by)..

Thanks in advance..

Hey p2, isn't there a hole-in-the-wall kind of car/plane model shop in Spring Garden Lane, Wanchai? I remember there being a Pizza Hut close by.

Yep KB it is still there and you still get vintage 'patre-vala' models made out of aluminum/ tin
Also TOMY and other Jap / Euro die-cast car and truck models. It is a hole in the wall but crowded like hell. If you look back to the pic, the shop is on the right side of the pic.
