Had another visit to HK and decided to see the not-so visited areas of the city. The places you wouldn't normally see tourists taking pictures, though an added risk was the tiger-looks I got from the inhabitants of these not-so-friendly side streets :D

I always wanted to capture the feel of eating in an oriental side street foodstall, I tried sitting down with these peeps, pero ang sama talaga ng tingin sakin, I guess hindi parin talaga akong papasang local, hehehe. In one of the mini-kalye food courts I tried to picture, may biglang nag away na dalawang patrons (no joke), hindi sila nag kung fu though (kala ko lahat ng nagaaway dito kung fu), pero di nako lumapit, dahil baka madamay pa ako.

Nakakagulat itong market, kasi masikip and halo halo ang benta (baboy, isda, beef, chicken), but every time I passed by walang amoy na mabaho.

Although I know these sights aren't a novelty for people living in Manila (maglakad ka lang sa side-streets ng Pasay eh ganito rin makikita mo), it's comforting to know that pare-pareho lang ang mga bansa na may basurang tinatago sa likod ng magagandang building.

Ooh...I like. Reminds me of The Grudge. Ganda ng contrasts ng light and dark where they fall on the floor. Very noir, pero Chinese. Labo ko no? Hehehehe... Nice one, Yano!

Hahaha, malaaaboo yan. Fun rin umikot-ikot kasi makikita mo yung ibang places na lumabas sa hk movies, hehe. Mas lalo na mga Jackie Chan/Johnie To movies, at nakita ko yung Chungking Street nung gumagala ako. Aliw :D

kuya yano! grabe.. alam mo ba, my friend (who's also part of gmg. hehe) and i went to hong kong a few days ago. sympre nagdala kami ng dslr para magpichur pichur. tapos naisip talaga namin na gusto namin makita yung "non-shopping" side of hongkong. puro shopping places lang kasi napuntahan namin. gusto namin makita yung totoong buhay ng mga tao sa hongkong. tapos ngayon, after seeing your photos, may idea na kami. heheh! ngayon gusto na namin siya makita in person. hahah! great photos! :D
