To relay some of what it feels like, here are a few shots of Wanchai, walking out of the MTR underground on a really nice day.
I admit, though, that despite Wan Chai being over crowded with skyscrappers and motorized vehicles pollution, it kind of has it’s own special charm. I remember the first time arriving at the area thinking it was a horrible prophecy for the future of mankind, yet with every time that I visit it becomes less intimidating and more, hmmm, understandable.
