Amazing isn't it? Like that part about Kowloon which was gang controlled. 30,000 police basically invaded the area. :confused::eek::eek:

I can't believe so many people lived there. It reminded me of scenes from the movie "Brazil".

Incredible. I saw a PBS show about this place a couple of years ago, and was amazed then... The pics are fascinating.

That was interesting, thanks.

Kowloon City would make a cool movie. ;)

"How did it all come to nothing? How did it all fall apart?"

I tend to think the same thing when I come up on a 126 560 SEL, or a Porsche 928, in a Pick-N-Pull.
