Hong Kong Sham Shui Po - a photo on Flickriver

So today I switched Islands, from Central to Kowloon. And it is a little bit like from Manhattan to Brooklyn, just more dramatic. All of the posh office towers in Central and all the order, and then the real life and absolutely organic city growth in the heart of kowloon, Sham Shui Po. It's incredible to see how the buildings don't look built, but really evolved over time. Graffitti and all these antennas, makeshift balconies and illegal rooftop dwellings. I absolutely am looking for this crazyness in urban development :)
