This is Lai Tak Tsuen (勵德邨) a public Housing estate in Causeway Bay. The building in the pitchas is Lai Kit Lau (勵潔樓). The buildings are famous for their circular design and were featured in the the 2017 movie Ghost in the Shell.
The city of Hong Kong inspired Director Mamoru Oshii’s vision of the year 2029-set city in the original 1995 Japanese animation. Lai Tak Tsuen as well as several other locations and landmarks (including the circular over-pass I was standing on when I took the first pitcha) were featured in both films.

This is Jasper. I stumbled on this chap in the Star Street area of Wan Chai. We got talking so I took a few pitchas. The light was fading and his workshop is in a shady courtyard so the light wasn’t very good.

A property agency. The big numbers in red are what you have to pay. The small numbers in black are how much space you get.
After I’d taken the first picture I realised the man was dozing so I decided the risk of being yelled at by another petulant Hong Konger was reduced so i got a bit closer for another shot.
The man in picture is rethinking his life. Probably.
