Mr Black's HK Escapade (Episode I: Neon lights, blink on me)

Firstly, I would like to apologise for taking a week to post the long awaited pictures and videos of Mr Black's 4-day HK Escapade. I was recovering from illness and after that, had busied myself with stuff you wouldn't understand. Yeah right, you may say, but whatever, this is a post dedicated to picture lovers out there. No small collages. Just picture after picture.
Here we go. Swish.
This was taken at Changi International Airport, the pride of the land. I don't understand why people always have to take a shot of this departure board when they are at the airport. Maybe they don't want to forget their check in row. And yah, if you can spot my Hong Kong bound JSA plane, you have powerful eyes.
The view from my puny beyond redemption hostel room. Mark my words, living in a hostel in HK is bad, especially if it happens to be called Li's Hostel (Goes by the name "Taiwan Hotel" as well). Spend a bit more to stay in a hotel. Who knows, maybe you will gain something extra?

If your eyes are sharp enough, this picture is exactly the same as the previous one except that it was taken at night. The streets of Hong Kong are lit by neon signboards literally, not road lamps or lamp posts.
Squalid, almost sordid living quarters of HK buildings in Tsim Sha Tsui (TST). Land is more than scarce in that place.
The much fabled Ladies Street in Mongkok. Doesn't impress me at all as the goods they sell are rather, hmmm let's just say, old fashioned.
The streets of HK at night, lit up by the signboards that have a life of their own. Did I mention that Watsons is extremely successful over there?
A bronze statue of Bruce Lee along the Avenue of Stars in TST. R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
The HK nightline from the Avenue of Stars, a place like our own Esplanade. Beeeeautiful lights. Evidently, the companies think that displaying their brand names on big neon signboards help their business. Anyway, thanks to them as well.
Another shot. A closer-up. Flash did not do much when the buildings are like 1 km away.
The goodness of Italian pizza and Japanese innovation. Folded pizza as a result. Ate it at SOGO basement at TST. Is it nice? Well, what do you think? I think I can smell them from here... ahh.
Q & A time. What is this device used for? (Hint: related to previous picture)
Is it for...
1) Ringing the cashier's attention
2) The cashier to ring the consumer's attention
3) Secret walkie talkie that vibrates, much to the pleasure of the cashier
Last but not least, for this episode, I shall end with a map depicting the MTR subway lines and the various tourist attractions that they lead to. You can enlarge the map yourself if you find it to be useful. Maybe Singapore can have one of this map as well.

Alright, that's all for "Episode I: Neon lights, blink on me". Look out for "Episode 2: Of Buddha and The Abyss". Only on www.blackrhapsody.blogspot.com. Duh.

Mr Black is a current undergraduate who resides in Singapore. This blog is a non-whimsical reflection of his life and the society in which he lives in at large.
