Wanchai, Hennessy Road street sign (Hong Kong)
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. For this one we’re certain, since we are typing this description just up the hill from there. Grade: 1
-
To Kwa Wan, bus stop signs (Hong Kong)
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. No matter where you are, you need to navigate these signs to get where you’re going. Grade: 1

-
Baldwin St., Dunedin (New Zealand)
Two unused cards showing what claims to be the world’s steepest street (gradient 1 in 1.266). Who could resist a Google search of that?? Not us! Aha! We learned one thing in marketing: if you ever claim to be the “…est” of anything, someone will come along to challenge you. New Zealand has had a bad patch recently, so we are cheering for you to hold that title. Grades: 1
