Say "budget accommodation" and "Hong Kong" in one breath and everyone thinks of ChungKing Mansions, a place no other in the world. This huge, ramshackle high-rise dump in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui caters to virtually all needs -from finding a bed and a curry lunch to changing your Burmese kyat and getting a hair cut. There is also an undercurrent of sleaze, peculiar odor of cooking fat, incense, and sewage. The building's infamy is fueled by tales both tall and true of conflagrations, crimes, and unclaimed bodies.
And here I am!
