On the Street -> Central, Hong Kong

Mary is sitting on HSBC's Stephen(銅獅子-「史提芬」); No wonder there a heavy losses in Hong Kong stock exchange last Thursday... Oopssssssssssssssssssss

銅獅子每隻重2250磅,擺放在香港的是第一對複製品;第二對複製品在英國倫敦金絲雀碼頭(Canary Wharf, London)的滙豐集團新總部大廈門前;第三對複製品則在上海浦東發展銀行於1997年獲得前上海滙豐銀行大樓的使用權後,照原樣鑄造了兩尊新銅獅置放在原位。上海浦東發展銀行曾希望將原品移回銀行大門前,後經協商,由浦東發展銀行出資重新鑄造,在仿鑄造過程中,出於對歷史的尊敬,原日軍破壞的鋸痕也一併保留呈現。

The next stop is Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

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.
