I stayed in a hostel in Chung King Mansions which I believe is part of that same building.
Not good! But, the Asian definition of personal space is simply different and that had much to do with it.
I vividly recall pushing past the Indian watch peddlers to get to the single elevator that had a large line of people...I think the hostel was on the seventh floor.
From what I remember reading this section of Kowloon City had quite a few fatalities from numerous fires over the years in the 70s 80s and 90s due to a total lack of fire code in any of the buildings. Not sure it's much better now. Pretty 'down and out' look inside.

Well if this isn't a coincidence I don't know what is.
Just to my left here I noticed I still have the receipt from that stay in the hostel two years ago.
No. 40 Nathan Road
ChungKing Mansions
Block A, 3/F
Kowloon, Hong Kong.
Not sure where along the road you were but that place was 40. Thanks for posting the pic, now I'm going to be rooting through pictures of that trip reminiscing instead of going to bed!

That flows to her bones

If the wind get blown
Stripes on her eyes when she walks slow
But her face falls down
When she go, go, go
Black tear falling on my lazy queen
Gotta tattooed tit say number 13
Viva (=alive)
Don't want no blue eyes
La loma (=the hill)
I want brown eyes
Rica (=rich)
I'm in a state (x5)
Choir in the yard
In the house next door
Where a grandma brought
Some songs from the shore
Six foot girl gonna
Sweat when she dig
Stand close to the fire
When they light the pig
Standing in her chinos shirt pulled off clean
Gotta tattooed tit say number 13
Viva
