So this is how pages looked when building them pre VMTL
I left them as a reminder of all the work that had to be done
to change them to the new format

This is what happens when VT changed to VTML from HTML...We
Had to update all our pages...Well I leave this one in memory of the
good ol days..LOL
I WILL UPDATE THESE PAGES:::::::::
One of my students whom I teach English to
just got back 2 days ago from a business trip
to HK and Gaundong (Canton), so she was kind
to let me use some of her recent pictures.
Thank you Gabriella!
Based out of Chung King Mansion Block A,
The famous mecca for travelers back in
the '80's before the handover was an
oasis for info for people traveling into
the PRC, finding info about teaching jobs
in Japan, working in Hong Kong, cheap flights
to all destinations and getting work in HK.
- Pros:The land of Dim Sun heaven and Susy Wong
- Cons:Has got way to expensive for the best bargains
- In a nutshell:Chinese version of London in the future

Great Local Custom tips and Warnings: Don't walk into any K14 triad meetings! The MTR didn't even exist when I was there in 1965 but I remember taking the Star Ferry.
an interesting page, thanks for sharing ! This part of the world is still missing on my map ;-((
Hong Kong was the last place I visited before going back to Europe. I stayed in Kowloon and of course I took the Star Ferry... Wow that you stayed here so long. I am just at the point to leave Europe again, heading west this time.
I think you really impressed J-L here!
An amazing page!
My visit to HK was on 9.9.99. so scared of the mill bug that the plane will crash ;p Now that the Disneyland is opening, ever thot of revisiting HK & SG again.?Thanks for visiting my SG pg.
Great pictures!
Really good!!!
Good start. I`ll come back again for the pics! :-)
Nice Classic pics,Tim !!
