I cannot type in chinese here, but i hope the idea that i am trying to bring across is the same.



There's a certain nostalgia that is attached to whatever that defines Hong Kong. Like an old block of building that is juxtaposed right beside certain huge shopping malls, that creates this weird balance of old and new, and yet at the same time, the constant clash of what's is in the history and what is presently true.
The Old present in the site of the new. Culturally, HK possess this schizophrenic identity of whether it belongs to China or as a British Colony. This is vlearly evident in the everyday lives of the people living in HK.
Just an attempt to live like a local. but really, does it work? let me upload more pictures in days to come.

This entry has given me quite a bit of thought & a question that I should ask myself too :

Architecture seems to be a body of the present like the many contemporary shopping malls, yet with time it will be a monument of the past like the old apartment block.

In between, we (humans)seem to stand in the wierdest position we created for ourselves;why are we shaping our environment to shape ourselves?
