kowloon-station-three

I had a dozen better things to do last Saturday than go to Hong Kong, but go to Hong Kong I did. The guest house wanted a deposit on the rooms for our upcoming staff excursion. They didn’t mention they were unlicenced. Giving 3000 Hong Kong Dollars to an unlicenced Guest House is not the wisest move, so I didn’t.

As I sat in the bus station attached to the Kowloon MTR station, wondering if every former British colony is full of snotty people, I looked around for stuff to shoot. This sign grabbed my eye, probably because I like The Count and it’s Seasame Street-esque.

For The Captain and Tennille: The music.
