Heh, on a tangent...

I got lost in Hong Kong back in '91 'coz I took the wrong tram. Hehe. Good
thing the tram eventually passed by the area where I hopped on board.

no problems

first of all,check out this page(not mine),click on the links on the right to
see some of the shops.

http://www.i-foxdigital.com/webhobby20/shop.php3

I'll upload some maps to my site asap.Those maps will be the "locality map"
you'll
find in the local MTR(underground railway) stations,should be easiest means of
travel for foreigners in HK.

anyone from HK who want to point my mistakes or add more info is most welcomed

Leslie, I saw your post further down, good guide, it will come in most
useful. I'm from London (most complicated tube system ever? crappiest buses
ever?) but I used to live in Hong Kong so I sort of know my way around. Oh
... finish the Wan Chai section pleeeeeeeeeaasssee!!!! =)

Oh and isn't it meant to be Sham Shui Po and not Sham Shui poo?

Thanks so far for the great guide though!

Mark

I thought her middle name was "Ranma, I kill you!"..... :)

I have a small collection of Ranma episodes on RealMedia.. they're horrible quality, but still fun to watch.

I can't get that damn opening theme song out of my head..
