Hi Folks, Lets talk about MK - Mong Kok or Mongkok (Chinese: 旺角; the English name is a transliteration of its older name 望角 or 芒角) is an area in the Yau Tsim Mong District on Kowloon Peninsula, Hong Kong, China. Before a 1994 merge, Mong Kok was part of the Mong Kok District. First, this wonderful photo showin a taxi at MK, 在芒角的黑夜中,奔馳的的士!這些可愛的紅色計程車阿,好有 MK Feel :)
Tramway systems were well established in the Asian region at the start of the 20th Century but started a steady decline during the mid to late 30s. The 1960s marked the end of its dominance in public transportation with most major systems closed and the equipment and rails sold for scrap; however, some extensive original lines still remain in service in Hong Kong and Japan. In recent years there has been renewed interest in the tram with modern systems being built in South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines.
