Episode 9: nothing special

pics arent too special today as i went to choi hung, a town the HKUST bus drops me off at in order to ride the MTR into mong kok. i had to buy a new keyboard today and now i have one of those chinese ones with all the characters. cost me 6 dollars, and its silent.... not a bad deal.

this surprised me when i saw it. nintendo has made the gameboy micro, which essentially is an NES controller with a built in LCD screen that allows you to play old NES games. im tempted to buy one.
it rained today so everyone was running around with their umbrellas. here is a pic at the apple shop.... a clothing and jean store i believe.

i found this to be particularly strange. apparently someone here has found the market for model buses to be large enough to dedicate its own store at the mall to. i went inside and there were some pretty nice models, but still, buses?

i often take the bus to the choi hung station in order to hope on the MTR. there is a pretty large market for live and not so alive animals. this side of it was dedicated to poultry. notice all the baby ducks there on the table...

In singapore, virtually every office building has a mall in the lower level, covering 1-4 floors. Many of these are connected by bridges or underground walkways. Your picture reminds me of those buildings.

As far as models go, you can find model airplanes in a store in Amsterdam airport.

hong kong seems to be the most consumer oriented place in the world.
