View from the second floor of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University's visiting professor / student accommodation, Pak Sui Yuen 百粹苑 (now the site of Hotel Icon) on Science Museum Road 科學館道, Tsim Sha Tsui East 尖東.
In the background is, on left, the Chinachem Golden Plaza 華懋廣場 (with cinema) and, on right, the New Mandarin Centre 新文華中心, with the "delightful" Club BBoss.
Yes, that's me as a fresh-faced undergraduate, studying a second year of graphic design on the first exchange programme between Coventry University and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. And that is my Minolta ciné camera, as I was very into retro photography!

gone
looks like this one might be gone for good unless joybot can upload again. We obviously missed it from the previous upgrade as the old site doesn't have a copy either.
Apologies
Apologies, I had a bit of a cull of my Flickr photos, as they kept changing their storage limits. Very happy to upload to Gwulo the ones that have disappeared. I have plenty of HK photos from 2001-ish, and from holidays in other years from 1998 to 2016.
Where is the best place (or what is the best method) to upload them direct on Gwulo? In the meantime, I can always pop it here in the comments.
great!
great! many thanks joybot, much appreciated. For your other photos, all are welcome, you can upload them by following these instructions: https://gwulo.com/node/2076.
Uploading them directly will mean they are backed up directly. Unfortunately we have lost a lot of flickr images over the years due to upgrades and the settings of the flickr original sometimes being changed to stop downloads.
