Today I did not clearly understood this sign…
…means this that there’s no graffiti penalty..
…and the $1500 are for the winner?
that would be great!

*note the paradox of a no-graffiti sign made with spray paint :D
“hong kong” and “street art” are not really good friends, due to the cleaningness obsession of the authorities and the rule-followingness of its citizens…

…but even if there is this paranoid attitude of banning almost all the walls from any kind of expression (besides commercial ones, that are always welcome), we still can find interesting stuff around hong kong.

the forbidden city

Saturday, December 16th, 2006

all my life thinking that the Forbidden City was located in Beijing…

but in fact, Hong Kong fits better this description…
here everything is forbidden!!! …looks like the only allowed activities are working and shopping

…this is a common sign you can find in almost any park around Hong Kong…

if all this is forbidden… what are the parks for?
