Saw a topic in the Dojo about the real kowloon , it looked like a really wierd and cool place, shame it got torn down in '93.   And there is a great video on youtube of it too: youtube.com/watch?v=OSnvqBhWUOc |

What do you mean "Got torn down" in 1993, I was in Kowloon two years ago.
They tore down all of those shit-hole buildings yeah, there are new buildings now.
(Although there are of course stil a few shitty ones)

(Although there are of course stil a few shitty ones) Sorry i meant the Kowloon Walled city (the shitty looking buildings in the picture) got torn down. Apparently there were no laws inside that place and there were brothels, casinos, opium dens, cocaine parlours, food courts serving dog meat, and secret factories. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City |

Ah right, well, the first time I went to Kowloon was in 1991 and I was 1, so no idea or recollection of any of that.
shame.
Although the Novelty of being able to import games from Toys R Us is a pretty attractive one.
As are the hookers.
I remember, the tube station announcer calls "Please note, Wan Chai is a red light district. Please do not buy from hookers".

Yeah but she isn't that hot, and I'd imagine she's the type to say just sex is ok, but then later wants more and makes things awkward.

Then they'd both fall in the river, and they'd both have to be saved. Speaking of the river, what happened the goat anyway? I can't remember. He saved her saving the goat yeah? But then the goat isn't seen again.
