I like 1 and 2. While the blur effect in #1 is really effective in giving the illusion of fast paced lifestyle most people who've been there tell me they are a very relaxed culture, not like "now now now" of North American society. I love #2, the people are packed together but the signs above them are even more desperate for space. Fantastic shots.

Disregarding what zitcan said about the shot not matching their culture as much as ours, number one captures exactly what you wanted it to. The environment is sharp, the people are blurred, its excellent.

Excellent shots depicting the hustle and bustle of the city. It looks like real estate is at a premium there.

LOL, i should say so. How do they even decide which place they want to go into.

trust me, Hong Kong is a super fast pace city...when you got a chance to go there for a vist, you will think that Hong Kong people are racing thru their life(I'm one of them, I was born and raise there...well..until 10yrs old). By the time you come back, you will end up seeing slow motion here.... too bad that I didn't record some video at the MTR station, I mean people are running to the other side for the transit...
