  • Hong Kong & Kowloon from the Peak

    Seems strange to see this view without so many of the new buildings and with so many of the torn-down ones.  Not to mention what’s happened with the Harbour.  Unused.  Highly aged.  Grade: 3

  • Tai Pak floating restaurant

    The restaurant was established in 1952 and, maybe unaccountably, is still there as part of a complex.  There were more, but restaurants come and restaurants go.  Tai Pak was featured in the 1955 film Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing and also in 1973’s Enter the Dragon.  Unused but heavily aged card.  Grade: 3

  • Paintings and Calligraphy of Professor Jao Tsung-i (set of seven)

    From a series of unused cards that don’t have captions.  Because we live here in Hong Kong, we have filled in some of the gaps to let you know where the pictures were taken.  The local Government stopped issuing rickshaw licenses some years ago, and allowed the existing (old man) holders to serve out their time.  So where did the rickshaws go?  These two were parked out near the City Hall Carpark for years, for sale.  But who could buy them?  Almost no flats are big enough to put one.  Grade: 1
