When I lived in Hong Kong (1995-1996), I lived in Mei Foo. Mei Foo is the Chinese name for Mobile Oil Company … I presume they built this area at some point, but they were not really anywhere to be found when I lived there. In the photo above, I lived on the 16th floor. The top balcony is the 20th floor, so if you count down to the 16th floor, you'll see my balcony had a white roof. That balcony petrified me, so I seldom stood out there.
Down below is a shopping area … and a McDonalds. Now there is a McCafe there too, but there was no specialty coffee when I lived there, just the regular McDonalds brew.
Between my building and McDonalds is a subway entrance. So perfectly convenient for all my roaming around Hong Kong! And trust me, I did a lot of roaming.
