A glimpse of Hong Kong streets from the taxi.
This post has been sleeping in my draft folder for a long time.
These were taken in summer of 2010. 2 years ago!
Wow! Time flies.
Anyway, did you notice the amount of mobile phone this taxi driver have in his car?
Amazing right. He was answering calls all the time.

Oh. On an unrelated note.
Did you check out the list of newly registered UNESCO world heritage sites
announced yesterday?
I’m surprised that Malaysia have another UNESCO world heritage site now!
Archaelogical Heritage of the Lenggong Valley (Malaysia)
I didn’t know about this place until I read it on the UNESCO World Heritage website
Btw. You can check out the 26 newly added World Heritage sites over here >>

p/s: I’m going through my draft folder now…

Great shot ! Well taken! =)
Hello there! Thank you for dropping me a comment :)
Four cellphones and a PDA? Wow… is he bookie, a broker, online trader or something? Curious to know what the phones are for. Great catch … or is it a regular view of taxi driver in Hong Kong? :D…
They’re actually either connected to different broadcasting company taxi channels or it’s their phone allow regular customers to call in. There was a photo of a driver with 8 phones or more circulated on FB a while ago. Time is money for them!!
Haha… well, that’s very interesting. I’m still wondering why they need like 4 phones, though. I don’t think they can answer all the phones in the same time anyway…. or is it for text messaging only? I want to see it in action :D… perhaps someday :D…
4 was actually quite over whelming already! 8 phones!!! OMG! I wanna see it in action!
yea! finally Hong Kong! I must say it’s not easy to find cool scenery in the city. All you see is vehicles, pedestrian railing, buildings, traffic lights. i can tell from your photos!!
Actually I think HK is an interesting place for street photography but I was just making a stop over …and my leg was injured at that time..which explain why I only have photos taken from the cab :o didn’t had a chance to go explore the streets at all :(
sorry to hear that. come next time and have fun!!~
Its amazing how much you can see from a cab. Also, how many cellphones does one man need? HA! Great photos!
yes. even though I didn’t get to explore the city by foot, at least I had a glimpse of Hong Kong through the cab window :p
