Kowloon City

"As bad as it was in terms of living conditions, looking at photos of Kowloon Walled City makes me wish it was still around so that I can go and visit it this coming summer [I'll be in Hong Kong in June 2008]. The place looked like it would be a great place to explore and rummage around especially with its make-shift architecture and numerous alleys and oddities (despite the unsanitary conditions and such). It reminds me a lot of comic book cities or something."
