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

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.
