    I remember that time so well. I was 36 and enjoying my work in HK. In the evening it was so relaxing to go out with friends, take the Star Ferry to Kowloon and find new places to eat. Half the population was under-25! So the energy, optimism and speed of doing things was wonderful.Thanks for this precious footage, Michael.

    @Bouncybon. I went often on Saturday afternoons to Kowloon. The name Tsim Sha Tsui was hardly known under foreigners. In the early fifties I went to Radio People, a bookshop there, the wooden chest district, and hunting for new LP's, topping it of with a chocolate milkshake at the Dairy Farm.

    At 0.29, it shows buildings under construction...at the near sight the bun-like Space Museum at Tsimshatsui, at the middle part extending beyond the sea wall the then Regent Hotel now renamed the Inter Continental HK, and on the right the then New World Centre now reconstructed as K11 Artus.
    In 1978, I was no longer a resident site staff, and had moved to the head office at New World Tower in Central.
    Thank you, Mr. Rogge, for bringing back such nice memories of my good old days.

    Dear Michael,
    I am wondering whether you were in a tram when you were filming at 2:05. I can see the rail on the road. The market and the people were so close.
    You also went to a toy factory to film how they made toys. Interesting.

    Hi Mike: How are you doing? In your opening statement you mention the population in Hong Kong in 1949 was 3 million while in 1978 it was 6 million. I just googled and found the population in Hong Kong in 1949 was 1.8 million while in 1978 was 4.6 million. I hope such findings would be helpful to your viewers.
