Kowloon

So several families in one household.

Many outbreaks have emerged in public housing estates and low-income housing blocks in the Kowloon area with family-sharing flats.

I feel letting the virus rip would have been more disastrous owing to the poor vaccination rates and cramped living conditions of many of the residents here, according to Anonymous.

We could argue about that.

I'm not sure of how that's Americanized.

Weidner described designers making 3D views of their plants, putting them on DVDs, and flying them to a feng shui master in Kowloon, Hong Kong.

high-tech architecture software followed by an international trip to get the energy reviewed.

So feng shui, another language sidebar.

That's where I would have included Hong Kong and South China because I do believe personally that Hong Kong and the South Chinese parks do compete.

Especially if you can take a train from Kowloon to Shenzhen.

From Kowloon...

Sorry, no, not to Shenzhen.

From Kowloon to Guangzhou, you can take a metro.

And the literal metro line goes from Hong Kong into Shenzhen.

So it's not like they're that separated anymore.

So he finds interesting places for them to go.

The Golden Gate, which was a real hotel in Kowloon, now sadly gone, is also mentioned at a place where he meets Tufti Thessinger and everything.

So he moves around Hong Kong quite a lot.

It's a place full of bars, clubs, cabarets, places where, you know, if you bump into an Englishman or an Australian at three o'clock in the morning, it's not very surprising.

We should.

He also does a bit where he drives her up to the New Territories, which was something everybody did.

The New Territories is the bit that on the Kowloon side of the harbor that runs all the way up to the Chinese border.

And it's very rural, very beautiful.

yeah interesting

but yeah something again speaking of people's houses once you're done listening to this podcast go and look up pictures of the approach because the thing that's iconic about Kai Tak is that it ran over so long and it could take like it was the runways was extended so that it could land wide body planes so there are incredible pictures of retro 747s coming into land and the like area below it was really densely populated but with some very unique like districts there too so you have these crazy like very densely populated areas with these planes landing into it and the key iconic district was the Kowloon Walled City Which is, I think, most densely populated areas that people have ever recorded.

It was a Chinese enclave in Hong Kong.

So once the British colonised it, basically it was a small area that remained under Chinese rule.

And the nice

thing about it is that the go-around is quite smooth.

And there were some crashes over the years, I think, but no modern ones where people crashed into the Kowloon people or the buildings around the runway.

I think it was more like misaligned approaches overrunning the runway.

There is a shortage of transportation, food, water, and space.

Both the island and the city of Kowloon on the mainland have been swamped by the flood of millions of refugees moving out of the interior.

I fought my way through the jammed streets and to the offices of the American consul.

Oh, yes.

The company isn't satisfied with the report on the cause of that fire.

It was blamed on vandalism.

Vandalism has become quite a popular pastime across in Kowloon especially.

I take it you suspect fraud.

And I think it's going to be a very successful project.

projects in Hong Kong, in the northern part of Hong Kong, Kowloon, right at the boundary of Shenzhen.

So it's going to be, you have a plenty supply of land there.

So you start from scratch.
