This morning, I headed to Lan Kwai Fong to meet a friend and I wanted to soak in the Hong Kong experience, again, on a tram.
Waiting for the tram at Des Voeux Road West...
Artwork at the Ruttonjee Centre on Duddell Street...
The building is named after Jehangir Hormusjee Ruttonjee, a Mumbai born Parsi businessman who shifted base to Hong Kong...
It's well past rush hour now...
And the traffic has eased...
Neeti and I took the Peak Tram from here in 2010...
Gawd! I'm missing her on this HK sojourn..
High-end boutiques and showrooms are everywhere...
At one point, only Hong Kong, Tokyo and Taipei were seen as destinations for luxe products...
The red cabs...
A bit disorderly...
Feel Hong Kong has a bit deteriorated in standards since our last visit..,
The Coach store...
He looks a bit bored...
A mural...
Queen's Road...
A nice place to sit and have a coffee with an egg tart...
A Wing On store...
Waiting for a tram to take me back..,
Here comes a tram...
I am curious....
Old trams have been restored to function and coexist with the modern transport systems like Hong Kong's MRT...
...and swanky double-deckers...
A public service message on a tram - Hong Kong stores will start charging for plastic bags, which isn't a bad idea...
High-rise apartments...
People pay millions for apartments like these...
A shortage of space and tiny apartments have forced Hong Kong residents in this fashion...
Every inch of land is worth a lot here...
In a sense, Hong Kong reminds me of Mumbai...
