Wan Chai

But, OK, the reason I rented this terrible apartment is that outside the door is all this.  And I mean right outside the door — I can walk from the subway station to the apartment door in a rainstorm without getting wet, thanks to the tangle of escalators and walkways above.  I like being surrounded by snack stands and shops but, honestly, living next to a running escalator has been on my life list ever since seeing Chungking express.
