This gallery contains several photos from my first few walking tours of Mong Kok, Hong Kong 香港, in January 2012.
Hong Kong: Endless Metropolis
A series of posts about my first trip to Hong Kong 香港 in early 2012. This was my first trip to Asia and, as such, you should expect the writing and commentary to be relatively naïve.

Letters From Mong Kok
The following post is an edited version of a series of letters I sent home to friends and family in Canada while visiting Hong Kong in January 2012. They are presented here as a series of disjointed vignettes that range from the mundane to the profound.
I have arrived in Hong Kong 香港, setting foot in Asia for the first time in my life. I am now safely ensconced in the lovely little flat in the heart of Mong Kok I rented via Airbnb. It is a nice enough place, not too expensive, and seemingly authentic, though I wouldn’t know the difference. There is no lift in the building; it is eight flights straight up the open concrete stairwell from the bustling streets with two flats on either side of every floor. Though sparsely furnished my room emanates something of the style of In The Mood For Love, one of my favourite films set in Hong Kong, and I immediately feel strangely, suspiciously at home despite being so far from it.
