― Ned Trifle II, Friday, 30 April 2010 15:39 (fourteen years ago) link

Interesting (kind of) aside - if you 'walk' down Tung Choi street on streetview the market is being put up and then as it crosses Nelson Street it's all up. OK not very interesting but I liked it.

― Ned Trifle II, Friday, 30 April 2010 15:52 (fourteen years ago) link

that's because a large portion of tung choi street is not accessible by cars

― going non-native (dyao), Friday, 30 April 2010 15:53 (fourteen years ago) link

Yeah, I assumed that that's why they went down it before the market went up. Of course they could have used the google trike.

As another aside - the adverts for schools in HK are quite cool too.

― some men enjoy the feeling of being owned (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 1 June 2010 16:00 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah I think about half the shirts I see are just quotations lifted from books. some company did a series of philosophical terms & their definitions, so you see people wearing shirts that say, in big bold arial, "REIFICATION" or "ONTOLOGY" and then underneath is the definition in small type

yeah I want to find the source but it's hard because I always feel self conscious when I go into the teeny bopper malls, plus they change the styles so quickly

like I went back and tried to buy the one that said "LOOKING AT LIFE IN A STRANGE ROOM" cause I realised it was a JD lyric, but it was gone by the time I got there.
