I posted back in April to the forum Finding Old Friends,looking for an old friend from the 1970s,Renee Ballerand.

A posting was made by a person in May informing me that she was a cousin of theirs. I  only found the post yesterday from "Ballerand" and now want to bring things to fruition as I will be in HK next month and wish to meet up. 

If anyone reads this knows Renee Ballerand please go to the forum Finding Old Friends (last posting yesterday August 25) where my contact details and story is located.

I am looking for street scenes of Kowloon from the 1950s for use in my documentary film entitled 'Building 173: 1 house, 7 stories, 3 generations'. The film is the tale of an apartment building in downtown Shanghai. Its residents have witnessed three quarters of a century of the most dramatic upheaval in modern chinese history and the film tells their stories.

This is a slightly odd question for old Hong Kong hands.

I visited HK again for the first time in 17 years, and I am interested in two things I remember from my childhood which had disappeared.

One was the large digital clock standing at the foot of the stairway in the main entrance hall of the Ocean Terminal. It was a beast of a thing, a large cabinet about the height of a man, with red glowing numbers. I was entranced by it as a child, and it must have been their for 20 years or so. Anyone know what happened to it?

Anyone remember the specifics of the haunting of Windsor House in Causeway Bay? I remember it had something to do with some imported marble from China. Have any other urban legends or scary ghost stories (Hong Kong ones only)?

I lived in HK over 30 years ago and am returning for the first time later this year. I had many friends there and a few expats I kept in touch with up until a few years ago.

I am looking to catch up with them if they are still there or can find out where they have moved to .

A couple lived on Cheng Chau for a long time. Phil & Cynthia ("Tinny") Rosenberg. Phil was last selling titles to "One Square Inch of Hong Kong land" as a gimick for investors.
