A toy shop in Sheung Wan…these two boys didn’t seem the least interested or maybe they are more into computer games?

I found this interesting fact about Hollywood Road in Wikipedia:
Some people think that the road was named after the box-office success of the illustrious movieland flick, The World of Suzie Wong. In fact the road was put up early in 1844, at least forty years before the more famous Hollywood in California was settled. The name of the street originates from the “holly wood” grown around the area.

There are quite a few different styles of street lamps in Hong Kong, but I guess my favorites are these ones at one of my favorite corners in the city — the King George V Memorial Park. See the night view of the same spot here.

Today is a DP theme day and more than 100 bloggers are publishing photos of street lamps and street signs in their cities, please use the links underneath to visit.

The signage of a design company in Sheung Wan…is it a confession? Or maybe business is just too good that they are trying to turn some away? :)

I see this quite often, an outline of old style building on the exterior wall of other buildings. One can easier picture what was there before but my question is: why didn’t they remove everything when they torn down the old building? Maybe it is important structurally to the building attached to it? Maybe there are some architect out there who can tell us?
