Had plans to stop over in HK to meet family and friends. Originally planned to also take a short trip to Taiwan but that got canned as I needed to find a tour guide to take me around. I wanted to go to Taiwan after seeing the DigitalRev team head there and there seemed to be lots of interesting sites and it seemed a good country to do street shooting.

Anyways, I stayed in HK for a just under a week and went to see some sites and basically was on a mission to eat beef brisket noodle soup and try the different varieties of tofu fah desserts !!

Went to all the typical places like Lady's Market, ventured through Causeway Bay, visited the streets of Mong Kok and went to some new places like Apliu Street. Apliu Street was a fascinating place and showed you one extreme away from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong city, it contained a market that was selling many second hand items of the very old kind. Things on sale would date back in the 70s !

Great band at the ToTT's Bar, had a couple of quiet beers with old work mates

One of the NON Michelin star restaurant kitchen's i went to for beef brisket !!

Extremely busy crossings !! Doesn't anyone need to work ??

The trolley is one of the most efficient ways of transporting goods

Shopping makes us happy and the bank is even happier .. that is what he is explaining

Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade.. are they fishing or talking business, like those HK cop movies ?

Doing it the old fashion way, who needs a rod ?

HK are adopting Bruce Lee as their own ...

Old one's protesting on the promenade ...

And why would you not take a SELFIE on the promenade ?

It is funny, Apliu Street is New Kowloon at Sham Shui Po. When Kowloon not the new looks in much better condition. Venturing through here you will see a contrast to what you see in HK Island. It is a real eye opener and there is one large market that runs through many streets which has all sorts of things on sale

Not exactly the glamorous life you see on the TV shows

I'm sure these guys can just about fix anything ?

On the way back home after a long days work

Headed out to Kowloon today to check out a few things, obviously headed to Lady's Street and then also checked out all the streets that were dedicated to selling one thing. I kid you not there is a street that just sells aquarium things, fish pumps, fish, fish tank plants, you name it and it was there for fish !! Friends also took me out to the retro Starbucks Cafe which I thought was pretty cool. Some of the seating they had are from the old cinemas.

Lady's street is full of real and fake and tourists !

Before heading off, I had forgotten to take the famous trams that rattle along the main roads of Hong Kong. I know I have forgotten many other famous landmarks but more time is needed unfortunately ...
