I lived in the 1st block (i don't think it is shown up here in the picture) until 1969 when I was six. I studied in the school on top of our block for a year. It brings back some interesting flashbacks: Playing an d watching TV in the park (Yes, there was a public TV set in the park. It was turned on everyday in the evening), flying kites on the edge of the building, etc. Those good old day ....

No, Paul, those old and demolished 7-storey buildings were on Tsui Ping Road, Kwun Tong but not in Shek Kip Mei. I watched the T.V. tonight saying those 7-storey buildings are gonna be demolished soon. In fact, I was raised in one of the 7-storey buildings on Tsui Ping Road, Kwun Tong!
