Walking to the bank in old Hong Kong

It is 1949 and I'm finding my way through Hong Kong's traffic from Battery Path to Des Voeux Rd.

MichaelRogge Fascinating videos of HK from those years. I wish you with all my heart good health, prosperity, and 150 years old! Thank you!

Your video is so interesting. I think Hong Kong Government should buy a copy of your videos and keep them in their archive for documentary, etc. You have talents of a journalist, perhaps. THANKS.

[MichaelRogge]

@udon890. Well, the major institutions keep copies of my films: University, History Museum, Govt. Film Archive, etc. So they will not be lost.

@MichaelRogge : You have done a very good thing. Thank you - on behalf of all the viewers.

[udon890]

@MichaelRogge : We wish you good luck.  I can see Hong Kong in those old days before I was born in your videos. You are wonderful. Thanks.

[MichaelRogge]

Indeed. My most faithful viewers come from HK - around 1000 daily and some 600.000 in total. From the bottom of my heart I wish them good luck and health in 2010.

I think your most appreciative viewers are in Hong Kong because the pace of change is so rapid here.
