<div>Peter, </div>
<div>the interface and flash was made directly from photoshop ... </div>
<div>Me too, I wished I could see Kowloon Walled City, but as you mentioned there are plenty of others grey buildings , I really do prefer hong kong in the night than during the day for those reasons.</div>
<div>The lights in the dark are just gorgeous !!! ( the major reason why i went there, shame i couldn t rent an helicopter and take more pictures :P ) </div>
<div>I discovered the biggest tallest building of hong kong in Central was use to record the end of the first Batman movie ... :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>During my journey there,I was visiting a friend in the area of Sai Kong ( North-Est in the new territories,30min by taxi from Hong kong itself) </div>
<div>so I don t really know where could be the best place to stay ... </div>
<div>I quite liked to be outside hong-kong to be sincere ( avoiding the pollution and the mass of people for instance) ,... </div>
<div>I had another friend who visit us and he was in a cheap hotel ( in Tsim Sha Tsui) in a very very little room ( which could be the size of your toilets) and he was paying something like 10 euro a night ... but if you go in the area of 'Central' I guess the price and comfort can go very high quite fast :) </div>
<div> </div>
<div>From my friend( designer,musician, animator) point of view who lives there since more than 7 years, hong kong had changed quite much during the years for things like prices for food , computers stuff prices ,houses-apartments rent prices, business situations... etc...</div>
<div>Anyhow today you still can find some cheap converse shoes in Monkok tho.</div>
<div>Also he explained me the mentality of the people in general had change... all hong kong people used to talk English very well but now days it s not so easy they answer you in Chinese ( it happened to me many times in the streets) ... </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Between words,it seems China politics is coming and changing everything radically (check what happend in Tibet) ...</div>
<div>My friend think when hong kong will be completely Chinese politically ,the foreigner will be kind of slaves ( not equal) cause Chinese people and foreigners don t have the same rights ! ...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyhow I was very pleased to be there to see what s going on ( people, arts, music, civilisation,without mentionning the massages :P ... etc) ... </div>
<div>but to be sincere it s really not the place I will like to live ... This journey makes me realized one more time by contrast how Europe is beautiful and has a lot of qualities ...</div>
<div> I hope it will stay like that for while cause when I check the opposite of the world those qualities can be our weakness ... </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now I m curious about Japan ... :) </div>

<br></div>Your Flash detection leaves somewhat to be desired, but those photos are<br>cool (the interface not so much, though).<br><br>In a sense, it's a pity that Kowloon Walled City was pulled down, but it<br>looks like there's plenty of less-than-super-shiny Hong Kong left to go<br>
around.<br><br>But on the other hand, the images of the skyscrapers at night with the<br>company logos, the skytrackers and the lasers looks like it could<br>straight out of Blade Runner.<br><br>Suppose, purely speculative of course (although that food looked yummy,<br>
and they have Hoegaarden), that my wife and I were to go there, what<br>would be the best place to stay, in your opinion?<br><font color="#888888"><br>- Peter<br></font>
