Ferry across the mercy - Kwun Tong Pier

Lots of memory with this Kwun Tong Pier. There wasn't any flyover (photo 2). The area on photo 1 had a lot of street stalls. This afternoon it was almost empty. The pier had only 1 customer (me). See how empty of the pier inside was. So soon this route will be cancelled. Then a crowd of people will suddenly show up and cry for "collective memory". Why don't they treasure it when it is still there.

Kwun Tong (photo 6/7) is undergoing a face lift. Together with the new cruise pier (Kai Tak Airport), this whole area will be hard to recognize.

*Met my aunt today and got to know all the way from Kwun Tong to Kowloon Bay is only a bay. Almost 80% of the land were reclaimed. Due to the sea current trapped in Kowloon Bay, at the World War II, this area was all corpses floating and of course very stinky. This area was so much "unwanted", and of course lots of ghost stories. My aunt also told my grand father was an exorcist. Now I know why I met so many ghosts when I was kid - a payoff from what my grand father did. So my grand father taught quite a few rules. 1. in the night time if you are in some quiet area and you feel something not all right, grab just only 1 grass and swing that at your back. 2. when you hear some sound, and then someone calling your name, don't look back.

Another thing I just got to learn is that according to my aunt, not all the Japanese army stationing in HK were bad. She claimed there were some good ones. Right now she could speak that up because in the old time if she said things like that, definitely she would be considered as a betrayer.
