Spending the night in Hong Kong...ended up staying at the Mirador Mansions which closely resembles the Chongking Mansions. I was thinking about including it in my project: it has a lot of similarities but it's currently under construction (might be a good thing) and doesn't have even close as much traffic.
I noticed that the Chongking Mansions were even pretty slow (inside) during the day. The night time is the right time.
2nd floor: A lot more organization but the same type of stores. A cell phone store...next to that... a cell phone store.... and next to that another cell phone store.
Also in terms of my budget I'll keep track of the vegetarian meals I eat... quality and price. The first place in which I ate was on the first floor. No seats -- take out only. Samosas = 3 HKD, "Death" Bread: 5 HKD. It was good, authentic... watching a bollywood film was their main priority and not helping customers...I watched as well.
Death Bread: it's deep fried apparently and really thick...inside are potatoes and spices like the filling of a samosa.
