  • Hong Kong has lived under a neon glow since the city emerged from WWII. But recently, many of the city's neon signs have disappeared. Ramy Inocencio introduces us to one of the last neon light benders.

    Sad to hear this style of light is dying, the buzz Neon gives is so warming and comfy.

      It is just a natural progression with new LED technology no one needs neon light anymore. May be you should ditch your iPhone and go back to Nokia. Why not? Less radiation, no ads, battery last for a week and with physical buttons~

    Hong Kong enjoyed democracy (ironically, thanks to Chinese government), until mobsters started riot to protest a simple law that would allow a Taiwan murderer to be extradited to Taiwan for prosecution. A spoiled child's tantrum caused the parents taken away things he enjoyed. That is a non-political way of summing up what happened in Hong Kong.
