Brett,
Chungking Mansions on Nathan road, i know it well. My hairdresser was in the basement and my tailor on the ground floor... As i remember, i think the YMCA also had a place in there too, or was that next door?? If you thought the basement ground floor and 1st floor were bad, you should have of gone up the building further, it gets much worse!!! The place was basically a den of iniquity, and probably one of the more famous landmarks on Kowloon side. The electrics were so bad, because everyone was stealing it from each other!! ...haha!! There's been talk for years about pulling the place down, but it's still there, very much alive and still kicking!! ...lol!! One day perhaps, if enough bribe money is forth coming, the place will be pulled down, ....One Day!! hahaha!!
David.....
