Alison’s forwarded this site to me. She said it makes her “home sick”, I can certainly empathize with her. The picture I used here is what we called “Ding-Ding” (slang) – the Hong Kong Island side only electric trolley – since they make the sound of “ding-ding-ding” when you are in its’ way, similar to San Francisco cable car. It’s a slow, traditional, and economical way of traveling from east side to west side on the Hong Kong Island. Last I heard, it might be going away… but I was in Hong Kong in March and the Ding-Dings are still Ding-Dinging away…
