Is this the image you were referring to? ;) It looks to me more like Hung Hom or East Kowloon.
Very clean capture. The contrasts are what make this shot.

Yup this was the one. It's actually at TST where you'd normally look at the skyline, but then you have to turn around to see this building :)

Yes, I've lived there for the majority of my life :) I moved to Las Vegas in the US with my husband 4 years ago.

Ah that's cool. I was born there and have been living in Holland for the majority of my life, but 95% of my family still lives in HK.
Jun 1st, 2011 ReplyBeen to Vegas two years ago btw, had a great time! (Not a gambler though)

I don't know anyone that lives here who are actually into gambling :P
Jun 1st, 2011 Reply katherine-cheng.comMy husband and I are looking into moving back to Hong Kong in about 5 years :)
Where does your family live in HK? I used to live in TST, and my husband and I shacked up for 6 months in Wanchai. We are considering the Island or maybe New Territories for when we move there permanently.

LOL, I would've figured most gamblers on the strip would be tourists. I am actually looking at the possibilities of moving back there as well between now and ten years. I just love everything about it!
Jun 1st, 2011 ReplyMost of my family live in the small villages Ping Shan and San Hing Tsuen (both next to Yuen Long, New Territories), but my family is HUGE (There were about 300 family members at my brothers wedding last november) so they're really scattered around the islands :p

I have been to those villages in the New Territories! It was interesting to see that people live in actual houses, so near to nature too.
