Hong Kong Streets...

It was just recently that I have came back from HK - and whilst I was there for business (and not pleasure *sigh*) for just a day (and the night before) I managed to catch some pictures of the streetlife in this vibrant metropolis.

The following four pictures shows not the glittering towers of glass and steel but rather the gritty streets of the Kowloon area - where tradition and neon lights meet in equal measure...

A snapshop of a typical 'chinese medical hall' which can be found all along Nathan Road - in particular the near the Jordan MTR station.


Traditional Bamboo Scaffolding is still very much in use in the city centre - it is amazing how high these scaffoldings go!


Neon & Traffic along the busy Nathan Road - At night it is a riot of colours


A Bird's Nest store just across from our hotel...

Relieved...

Liverpool 4 - Marseilles 0

*Phew* *grin*

Thank goodness - we are past the group stages...
