Sorry, May I ask what happened to Star Ferry? Has the service been stopped?

[spudmaster]

No, the Star ferry service is still there, but the old Central pier has been demolished to make way for a road....and has been replaced by a joke of a building.

wat was that song sung by anita mui? (i think)

before, i talked to my cousin about the issue on the star ferry, i was totally oppose to the government.

but after talking to him, he taught me a very good lesson. "How could human move forward if we have to keep all the old stuff?" havent talked to him for 2 yrs but he became more mature than 2 yrs ago...

[spudmaster]

dude, its not just about keeping old stuff. Have you seen what a horrible building we have replaced it with? It is tasteless 'Fake' architecture by copying (very badly) edwardian details. Out of place, Out of scale. Makes me sick and angry.

[spudmaster]

Unfortunately these idiots in our government make the decisions and they will not listen to the people. Just like how we are losing our Street markets, a significant physical piece of Hong Kong's history has been replaced by fake 'Disney style' Heritage.

@spudmaster

YOU ARE QUITE RIGHT!

I THINK THE ARCHITECTS WHO DESIGNED THE FACADE OF THE OLD STAR FERRY WOULD TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!

HK is the most amazing place I ever visited. If you ever get a chance take the Star ferry to Kowloon and back, just for the view of the skyline lit up with tall buildings. V. beautiful city.
