Onwards to the Lomography Shop.

But, before that, we dropped by Man Mo Temple, one of the oldest and better known temples. Pete, our walking and talking encyclopedia, explained that during the early years of British rule, locals came to the temple to solve disputes or seek healing due to unfamiliarity with western medications (something that we still practice nowadays) and laws.

Seen in this photo are bell shaped like burning incense.


It is also one of the few that allow photography inside the temple, just so you know.


An interesting pattern sighted on a building on Hollywood road opposite the temple. If you stare long enough, you'll notice a repeating diagonal stretch of the alphabet Z. Photo on the right: the staircase located on the junction between Ladder Street and Square Street.


Random shot of Jen, Jacklyn and Pete with a background of tiny red tiles.


Aaron in front of the lomography shop, our destination. Jen and the road sign of Square Street.


Inside the lomography shop, extremely colorful which makes it really great to photograph - which I wasn't really sure whether its permitted or not but I went ahead anyway. If sounded, I could always use the No. 1 tourist excuse of "Oh, sorry, I didn't know" *grins*. Both Jac and I liked the top left photo the most.


Pete fiddling with his iPhone, Jacklyn and Jen seems to be engaged in a serious conversation - most probably of the "just buy since you're already here" topic. Jacklyn in a "pretending to be appreciative of art" pose.
