Nothing Left To Lose
I had to suppress my instinctive desire to knock off the creepy crawly things that were beginning to gather upon my body. Probably nothing more than ants or whatever but I always hated bugs and hated having them upon me or even near me. Yet I knew playing dead was a far safer alternative. We waited for countless minutes in the weeds looking up at the top of the guard-rail for any sign of the approaching walkers. I was beginning to wonder if they hadn't moved over to the far side of the freeway when I spied a head appearing alongside the steel rail. It shambled on not even looking left or right, or thankfully down where we were hiding. I constantly felt exposed and wanted to burrow myself into the weeds and ivy even further. My heart was racing and I could feel it in my skull as the pressure mounted.
That walker soon passed out of sight, but was followed by several others. One of them did glance towards the woods, but it's lifeless eyes seemed to scan right over where we were. I knew that immobility was saving our lives but I still fought the urge to get up and bolt. I usually wasn't this scared when dealing with a herd, but I understood after a minute it was likely that I wasn't alone and that any one of the others could freak out and give us away. I felt a moment of sadness that I still actually didn't totally trust these people, not even Maggie enough to know that their training in concealment was far superior to mine and that they had faced similar situations, well, except for James, unless you want to count the rise of the walkers, with a living, breathing, thinking threat.
Maggie told me that her father was a highly decorated combat soldier dating back to at least three wars, beginning with Vietnam and ending up in the first Gulf War against Iraq. His status in the military among all branches was legendary. Maggie herself, as I mentioned had done two tour of duties in Afghanistan and one in Iraq and she modestly confessed to being the bearer of a bronze star and of course the purple heart. Her husband's medals outweighed hers by far with the highest being a posthumous Distinguished Service Cross. Me, best accolade I can come up with for myself was a pat on the back for saving the company some money by suggesting a change in the lighting of the cave that I worked in.
I began to figit and Frank laid his hand upon my arm. "The hardest part of being a soldier is waiting for the right moment." he whispered. Well, gee, that's nice Frank but I ain't no battle hardened soldier and I'd like to get the hell outta where we were right fricken now. But of course I bit down hard on that retort. He was making an effort to keep me calm under the circumstances. I glanced back up and kept an eye on a walker that seemed to pause right directly above us alongside the guard-rail. My hand crept to the M-16 laying besides me and again Frank's calm pressure on my arm reasserted itself. The walker took a step and I began to breathe a quiet sigh of relief when suddenly it's head exploded followed by a gunshot. Frank's gentle grip turned to a vise-like hold upon my arm and we both looked over at where Maggie and James lay and saw that neither of them had their weapons out, pointing up the slope. Someone else was shooting. My gut twisted at the thought of just who that someone or someones were. Hunters.
All our stuff was in the trucks above us, including my pack and sword. Again a part of me wanted to bolt but head up the slope to grab my stuff. Frank kept his hold on my arm, practically immobilizing me. "Don't," he said tightly, "if we go up there then the hunters or shooters might mistake us for walkers or just shoot us just for fun along with the rest of the herd." I struggled, but my... our stuff, they'll find it and we'll lose everything. Ammo, guns, food, meds, fricken everything!" I panted back at him.
He held my eyes with his. "Then it's better than losing our lives. We can get all of that again. But only if we stay alive." He wasn't making an effort to keep his voice down anymore because there was a great deal of shooting going on up above us. I could make out faint whoops of "yee-haws" somewhere in the distance.
I nodded reluctantly, sorry as hell to lose my pack and my sword, but knowing he was right. But it still didn't make me feel any better. Yet there was still another problem that we faced. For walkers, our hiding places were adequate, but against Hunters they'd spot us eventually. I moved closer to the old man in order to be heard over the fusillade of gunfire "Frank, when they get done shooting they're going to check things out and they're going to find our trucks and the gear. The engines are still warm and they're going to know we're close-by. Hell, they might've even seen us as we went over the guard-rail. That first shot came from far off. The walker's head exploded before we heard the shot. Whomever it was is a helluva shot and definitely saw us when we moved to cover. We've got to get out of here now!"
Frank nodded and crawled out half way from his hiding spot and waved frantically at where Maggie and James were laying. Then in a quick succession of one handed signs, since he propped himself up on one elbow, he made motions for us to move up into the woods. I hoped he said "as quickly as possible." I turned my head in time to see Maggie and James emerge, crawling and turn towards us. I watched as they moved in a flat belly crawl, their heads held up just barely to see ahead of them and their weapons carried along in one hand and the other helping pull them along, as their legs moved behind him also lying as flat as possible. It was if they were expecting fire to come along their way directly in front of them.
Within seconds they reached us and without a word began slithering over us through the tangle of weeds and vines. Frank spun on his axis and was inches behind Maggie's boot. I wasn't quite as graceful and spun around best as I could, without having to flip over. I ended up a couple of feet behind James' combat boots. At best I had on were high dollar hiking boots, scavenged from an abandoned car. Still in the box too. In a bag found in the same car were nice cushioned insoles, not quite so high dollar. That told me a lot about the person driving the car (presumably). They were like myself. Working man, making better than minimum wage, but not that much better, able by that grace, to buy better quality stuff if one saved up for a week or three. But earning enough to buy a semi-luxury item, cheaper made on the spot without hurting the budget.
But I'll save all that for later right now, what concerned me was getting my ... our asses up the hill and into the trees without being shot in the back. At least me anyway because of the four of us I was the easiest seen. My jacket was brown and I did wear BDU's (Army Navy store) and I had a black ball cap. So unless I could've been mistaken from a distance for a small, dark, hole in the ground that was oozing mud, They are going to know I'm there, as easily as if I was wearing a bright-orange neon vest like those highway clean-up guys used to wear. What I wouldn't have give, to have James' ghilly suit. They can be big enough to cover several people if spread out flat. With that we could've been mistaken for large patch of grass.
The shooting now, behind us, started to abate and the shouting of the Hunters were becoming louder. Getting closer. Among the shouts were screams of the walkers as they tried to attack back. I risked a quick look over my shoulder and saw one Hunter had a sudden case of the "stupids" and moved in too closely, too soon. He went down under a pair of walkers after firing once and missing their heads. His screams now added to the pandemonium. Three shots rang out in quick succession and the screams from all three were silenced. The Hunter I saw go down was white, and more importantly bald.
I kept moving and miraculously made it into the tree line without getting so much as shot at. That presented another opportunity. If played right. Once there we moved in until two trees were in front of us, then selected one and moved behind it separating us by only a couple of feet, either side.
I curled up and leaned back against the trunk of the one I selected and sat there holding the M-16 out side of my knees straight up so that the barrel or stock won't appear on either side of the trunk. A quick glance left and right showed Frank and Maggie had done the same, but James turned and laid on his belly still and had his rifle pointed out from where we came from. Maggie took a couple of breaths then spun and took position with her rifle, while kneeling. A quick look back and I saw Frank hadn't moved.
His eyes were shut and he was still trying to slow his breathing. Yeah, I thought to myself, getting old is gonna suck.
I managed to catch my breath quick enough and turned and without thinking laid down on my belly prone, like James. I think my basic psychology was kicking in. Imitation was the sincerest form of flattery. I guess a part of me was caring enough to want the kid to like me. After all, I was shagging his mom and intruded into their lives. At least I'm thinking how he's seeing it. I looked over at him, lying besides me two trees over and he was watching his mother as she "spoke" to him. Whatever it was it was done quietly by one hand as the other held her weapon on her knee with her finger just above the trigger. I watched this solo hand ballet go on for another few seconds before the sound of the shooting stopped and the shouting beginning to quiet down except for one voice getting louder to make the others quiet down. I made note of the voice for later identification.
Finally, just as Maggie had stopped signing, the voice called out to us. "Hey!" it paused and waited. I wondered if he knew he probably had a kid pointing a high powered rifle between his eyes. Would he be so bold? "Hey up there!" Through the sparse foliage I could make the speaker out. Tall, naturally and wearing a white wife-beater and camo BDU's and engineering boots to be so clique-ish. I almost laughed. He was Caucasian, bald and damned proud of it as evident from the large swastika tattooed on his neck. Definitely an Aryan. That was something we might be able to bluff our way through. If met correctly we could pass for klansmen at least. The four of us were white enough to not be so easily mistaken. I'd thought about pretending to be part of the brotherhood but realized that was risky on account of who you might not know. I had gotten to know a few Klan members where I worked. Never real friends with them but pleasant acquaintances at best and worked along side without conflict.
I looked quickly over at Frank for who would assume negotiations, he nodded at me. Grimly, I thought that he was taking a big risk, with his family on a guy they barely knew. As I nodded back, he turned and took Maggie's kneeling position behind his tree. I faced down hill again just in time to see the both of the speaker's arms flick sideways, up towards us. Instantly two others, armed with shot guns, came over the guard-rail and were working their way down to the patch where we laid during the first wave of our predicament. "If you don't care that those two will die, keep sending them on up the hill." I shouted, my voice strengthen from making myself heard over an underground waterfall for a few years. The two men froze in their tracks, their guns held at the ready. Their faces were a little paler. Their eyes flicking back and forth along the tree-line. Even from my vantage point, I could see that they were looking at the first row of trees for us to be hiding behind. Okay, not exceptionally bright are the troops, what about the leader? I stayed quiet after that and waited it out.
The guy was a cool customer, because he was doing the same, waiting to see who could out last the other. I immediately grew frustrated at this childish behavior. But for our sake played his game. We still had a tactical advantage being up hill. Hopefully they haven't gone through our trucks yet and discover that they had a much bigger one than ours. Since there were no whoops and cheers for finding our cache forthcoming, it told me that this guy had the others under his control. Discipline was something the three of us were very familiar with. Myself, meh. But I held mine for now. Fortunately the leader spoke next.
"Well now, wonder who we got here." he began and I placed his accent as deep south. Alright then. "You got some serious folks up here." I replied. I could see the leader nod and he answered. "Oh yeah, mighty serious for an man, woman, old man and a boy can be" there was a pause, "but that's not what I asked was it?" he finished.
I shook my head, okay, how to answer? "You got some Klansmen up here." I shouted in response before I realized it was the right thing to say. The leader actually jerked back a little in surprise that wasn't mocking or even mimicking. He placed his hands on his hips and cocked his head a little to the right, out of the corner of my eye I saw that James tilt his rifle a tad to keep the center cross hairs right between his eyes. The guy was going to be dead before he realized he heard the shot.
I had taken up sights on the guy to my right as Maggie did the same with the other one. Nice, we didn't even plan on that one together. I was really liking this girl.
The leader shifted his weight a little and glanced down at the ground for a moment, thinking obviously wasn't a strong suit after all. Either that or he was very cocky. "You are, are ya?" he asked and his tone was rhetorical. "Well, I guess we got nothing to worry about then, why don't you come on down and we'll talk, meet, get social like?", his voice dripped with southern charm and hospitality. I didn't like it.
"I reckon, I could do that, providing if'n you can guarantee it'll be a peaceful one." I responded easily enough, neither light nor dark in tone. I purposely thickened my southern accent a bit more than usual as well. A touch of home as it were. The reply was quick, "Oh, I'm sure to be able to o'blige yuh there, no problems, jes ya'll come on down and we'll parlay nice and pleasant like."
I shook my head, realizing that I could walk right into a trap but thought up one better for them. "Tell ya what! You got a second in command down there?" I asked. Again the reply was quick, "yeah, you talkin' about a trade of hostages or sumpthin?" I nodded without him seeing me, "Yeah, just to make the guarantee a bit more solid as it were. But lets not call 'em hostages but more of emissaries."
From my vantage point I could see him waving to someone off to his right. A heavy set guy stepped forward into view. He was bald but had a nice beard going, the two talked for a moment quietly. The beard stepped up to the guard-rail and waited, as the leader spoke. "Alright, c'mon down and my man will come on up, you two can pass each other by. Josh, Bill," speaking to the two that were half way up the slope and holding their positions, "c'mon back down to the ditch." The two obeyed and the beard stepped over the guard rail. I looked over at Maggie who was wide-eyed looking at me as if I lost my mind. I got up and moved over to her, keeping James between us.
"Listen, when I meet up with the second, you or James pop the leader right between the eyes, taking him out. I'm going to hold number 2 hostage and I'll bet that he's not going to be as smart as the head guy." She began to protest, but I held up a hand to forestall her. "These guys are probably going to kill us anyway, we're lucky that they haven't searched our trucks yet, not from what I can see," she interuppted, "no, they haven't, I can see both from here." I turned and looked and saw that indeed she could see both of our trucks and while there were Hunters standing around them they haven't bothered to see what was in the trucks, which I thought was a damn good stroke of luck. "Okay then it's in our favor, when I grab the brim of my hat," I reached up and demonstrated, " then take the bastard out and quick, I'll take care of number 2."
I reached for my side arm, chambered a round, clicked off the safety, and tucked the barrel down the front of my pants, praying it wouldn't go off. They'll expect me to come down armed but at least hands free. I slowly stood up as Maggie gave a quick interpretation to James who looked up behind his shoulder to try and get a idea of what was being planned. When she finished he nodded and began sighting down his scope at the guy. Maggie tapped him on the shoulder and held up two fingers of her hand and made a funny type of twist motion with her wrist, "switch places" was my guess. She wasn't going to let her son kill a living human being, not yet anyway. He shook his head and pointed at himself then at the man below. She slapped her knee and held out her hand more forcibly, demanding his rifle. James slapped the ground belligerently, but got up on his knees moving backwards and handing his rifle to Maggie who traded him the automatic. They then traded places. I hoped that Maggie was a good a shot as her son. I shouldn't have worried.
I then looked over at Frank who was nodding as he braced his 1911 against the tree trunk he was hiding behind. Already the plan was made with as little communication between us. Hmm, not a bad team to be on at that I thought, and moving on down the hill. I moved slowly so that my eyes would be able to adjust to the bright sun. I prayed that the sniper that they had was off somewhere to my left as I angled myself over to the right side, forcing number 2 to be on my left. If my plan worked, their sniper would have to shoot through their man to get to me. I continued on down hoping that I wouldn't get shot as I tried not to fall down the steep hillside.
My hands were out but more for keeping my balance than anything else, but at least they showed that I wasn't coming down ready to shoot.
As number two moved closer to me I could see a fine sheen of sweat on his brow and his hands twitched nervously. I stepped closer to him and could now see his pupils were dilated and bloodshot. I suddenly realized that he just might not be their number two guy after all. For all I knew we were all going to die this day. Finally we were standing even with one another and he began to start his way up the slope and I turned to him and spoke quietly.
"You ready to be a leader?" I asked, my right hand moved casually up to my cap and touched the bill as I showed Maggie. The beard's eyes widened suddenly and before he could turn and shout a warning, my hand fell to my gun and had it brought up touching his chin just as Maggie pulled the trigger.

Bruce Lee's Hong Kong
What started off as an obsession with Enter the Dragon locations (on the original Livespace version of this blog, at least) has blossomed into a reasonably thorough consolidated list of many Lee-related locations here in Hong Kong (and Macau). I'm certainly no expert (at least not compared to some of the cool people who have helped me put the list together) but I am in the enviable position of being here in Hong Kong and can blend this info with some of my own local knowledge and give some modern day context to many of the sites.
Sometimes it is hard for Lee fans to understand that modern Hong Kong is a vastly different place to the one Lee was familiar with. The pace of development throughout the 70′s and 80′s was massive and as such many of the sites Lee would have known well have completely changed or disappeared altogether. To be honest, we're quite lucky to have the ones that still remain – or at least remain for the time being.
So what we have below is a list of various places, some featured in his various films, some part of his personal life and some are just thrown in because there may be some obscure tenuous link I read about in an old magazine somewhere. Anyway, enjoy and feel free to help me enhance – I'm not a Lee expert (nor am I a collector) just a long time fan with a big interest in Hong Kong, so it is highly likely there is a mistake about dates times etc. Please feel free to correct in the comments section below.
I mentioned the help of various people and here is a quick acknowledgement of those who have offered valuable information and anecdotes about Bruce: Paul Li, Simon Leung, Jon T. Benn, Tim Redel, Steve Kerridge, John Little, Eddy Lo, Greg Rhodes, Wolfgang Miesen, Marcos Ocaña, Vanessa Seed and Peer Hesstvedt.
Enter The Dragon
Most of this info can also be found here, but in the meantime here is a quick summary:
Aberdeen Harbour: Where the fighters board the junk to travel to Han's Island.
Tai Tam Bay: Served as the disembarkation point for the fighters arriving at Han's Island. The stone jetty is still there.
The American Club and Pacific View: located on the shores of Tai Tam Bay. These now stand on the ground used for the filming of Han's fortress scenes.
Muslim Cemetery: Bruce visits his mum's grave. Several tombstones and trees seen in the film are still recognisable.
King Yin Lei: Used as the long shot of Han's fortress and as part of the composite photo shown to Lee by Braithewaite.
Nga Tsin Wai Village: Used for some of the Angela Mao chase scenes.
Yau Ma Tei Wholesale Fruit Market: Used in a scene where Williams is walking through a market place.
Hankow/Peking Roads: The roads used for filming Roper being pulled around in a rickshaw.
Kai Tak Airport: Featured in film but closed in 1998.
Tsing Shan Monastery: Used for the Lao's time scene and Bruce's previously deleted scene of dialog with Roy Chiao as head monk.
Ching Chun Koon: Used for the initial shot of the temple. Brief glimpse but it's there.
Chek Lap Kok Island: Used as the basis for the map version of Han's Island shown to Lee by Braithewaite during his briefing.
Kau Yi Chau: Used for the B&W composite photo of Han's island. This is how it looks from GoogleEarth plus a screen grab from the film.
Ho Sheung Heung, Sheung Shui – where Bruce fought Samo at the beginning. Only recently re-discovered by yours truly.
Golden Harvest Studio building – seen at the beginning of the Angela Mao chase scene.
Way Of The Dragon
Wah Shan/Woodland Crest: The only HK outdoor location used in this film where Bruce takes on Bob Wall, Whang in Sik and the great Jon Benn.
Queen's Cafe, 8 Hysan Avenue: according to Yvonne at "Webs Of Significance", this is no more (see her comments below). Seen when Bruce meets Wei Ping Ao for talks.
Fist Of Fury
Jardim Luis De Camoes: Fist of Fury park scene.
R. Dom Belchior Caneiro – one of the streets seen during the rickshaw scenes in F.O.F
Telegraph Pole scene – looks to have been filmed in Kowloon because the hills in the background look like the Kowloon ridgeline. I'll be investigating this more when I get time.
GH Studios – I know of one shot (I'm sure there are more) taken in the parking lot of GH studios. When Bruce jumps up to kick the "No dogs or Chinese" sign from the park gate posts (scene mentioned above), he was actually jumping from a table in the studio carpark.
Unicorn Fist
Pak Tam Chung, Sai Kung – Okay, so it's not a Bruce Lee film per se but he certainly made an impact on the production by being secretly filmed putting the actors through their paces. Ultimately the film was a pile of crap but fans still wonder where the secret filming took place – now you know.
The Orphan's Tragedy
Tai Po Station – Used for a scene when young Bruce boards a train to go off to school. Don't confuse it with the modern day Tai Po Market Station.
My Son A-Chang (aka The Kid)
Shatin - The end scene sees Bruce (as a very young child) walking along the KCR railway in Shatin/Tai Wai area.
~~~~~ various other locations (some tenuous, some direct links), some still to be investigated ~~~~~~
Mui Wo, Lantau – Jon Benn told me Bruce used to take his family over to Jon's house in Mui Wo for the odd day out at the beach.
Junction Road – Bruce Thomas' otherwise excellent biography details Bruce forming a street gang called the "Tigers of Junction Street". Actually, the road is called Junction Road.
41 Cumberland Road: his home between July '72 and his death in July '73.
La Salle College: Bruce attended the college (actually it's a high school) but whilst it was housed in temporary huts in Perth Street. He didn't attend the original school building, nor the replacement that currently stands on another part of the old school grounds.
St Francis Xavier's College: Bruce's second High school after he got kicked out of LaSalle College. He made a return trip there in the 70′s to present awards at a school sports day.
King's Park: shots of him training with his dad.
Kowloon Funeral Parlour, Maple Street: where his HK funeral took place.
Queen Elizabeth Hospital: where Bruce was taken on the night he died.
Avenue of Stars: Bruce Lee statue and star
Madame Tussauds – truly crap wax effigy of Bruce outside the entrance. So crap in fact that it could be anyone in that yellow suit. The recent unveiling of a similar one in LA just confirms to me that Mdm Tussauds is truly a shite place to go (actually, I already knew this as I used to live around the corner from the one in London).
St Andrew's Church, Tsim Sha Tsui – this is the location of Bruce's additional kung fu lessons before he headed off to the US. He felt some "showy" moves would help him sell kung fu to potential students in the US and undertook study in a couple of styles including one called Jeet Kune (not to be confused with JKD).
Lung Wah Hotel, Shatin: Bruce has two connections with this place, first is he used to eat at the restaurant there in his younger days and secondly it was supposedly where he stayed whilst filming pick up shots for The Big Boss.
Beas River Country Club: Paul Li has informed me that the just-mentioned pick-up shots for TBB were actually filmed at the Beas River grounds near Sheung Shui. I'll investigate further but it's possible Bruce stayed at Lung Wah and made the trip to Sheung Shui from there on the shoot day(s).
Ocean Terminal Rooftop: used by Golden Harvest for publicity shots with Wu Ngan and others.
Baptist Hospital: taken here after suffering a collapse during a dubbing session at Golden Harvest Studios.
St Theresa's Hospital: transferred here from Baptist Hospital to undergo medical to investigate cause of previous collapse.
Canossa Hospital: rumoured surgery to remove sweat glands. This is noted as fact in Tom Bleecker's "Unsettled Matters", is it true? You decide.
Grand Ocean Cinema – premiere of "The Big Boss". Next door is Lane Crawford which used to be part of the cinema before being turned into Planet Hollywood. Incidentally, the latter had various items from Lee's film work including the black cat suit he wore in ETD.
Pui Ching Education Centre Car Park (off Gascoigne Road) – scene of some snaps from 1963 with Bruce and Doug Palmer. Here's one below whose copyright I don't know (if it's yours let me know and I will credit you). At this time this place was called the Grantham College of Education and it was built in 1952. The building behind (with the point roof) is actually Kowloon Methodist College.
Mirador Mansion – the rooftop was the scene of his last streetfight (maybe should be 'roof-fight') before leaving HK for the US.
Champagne Court, Kimberley Road – Used to house a nightclub in the basement where Bruce did his Cha Cha dancing. These days it's a great place to pick up antique cameras.
HK Observatory: where Bruce's older brother, Peter, used to work.
Osaka Japanese Restaurant, 14 Ashley Rd: previously known as Restaurant Yamato – he made copious notes on paper supplied from here, including ones formulating the initial fight with Sammo for ETD – it's also the oldest Japanese Restaurant in town.
Gaddi's, Peninsula Hotel – one of his haunts and the scene of several meetings between Bruce and Robert Clouse. Unfortunately, the current location of the restaurant is not the one Bruce would have been familiar with. During Bruce's visits in the early 70′s Gaddi's was situated on the ground floor. In 1977 it was moved upstairs to a site previously occupied by the Peninsula Ballroom. The old location now being used as part of the ground floor shopping arcade.
Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel (formerly the Hongkong Hotel) – where he celebrated his 31st birthday. He also used to frequent the lounge with friends including Lam Ching Ying.
Cox's Road Playground Park – at the rear of 218 Nathan Road. It's where Bruce's dad used to practice his Tai Chi.
Shamrock Hotel, 223 Nathan Rd – took Doug Palmer there on his first trip back to HK in 1963 (since leaving in '59). The original building still stands and is directly opposite where the Lee house used to stand at 218. I've also been told by Simon Leung that the hotel (or at least its entrance) can be seen in "The Orphan" too.
Tak Sun Primary School, 103 Austin Rd: One of Bruce's first schools, though a more modern version now stands at the location.
St Mary's Canossian College, 162 Austin Rd: another one of Bruce's early schools – when it admitted boys, it is now a girls-only school.
Kowloon Bowling Green Club, 123 Austin Road: Bruce used to swim there with his brother Robert.
Flat A3, 1/F, 67 Beacon Hill Road – Bik Wah Court aka Beverly Heights – Betty's home in 1973 where Bruce died/went comatose.
Shaw Bros Studios – there are photos of him outside the iconic 'Shaw' house with his friend, Unicorn Chan and he visited Movietown with John Saxon on a break from filming Enter The Dragon, as well as several other times. The various TVB shows Bruce participated in (e.g Enjoy Yourself Tonight and the 1972 Typhoon fundraiser) were actually filmed at TVB's old studios on 63 Broadcast Drive in Kowloon Tong.
Lung Mei, Sai Kung – G.O.D promo photos/outdoor test footage with Bee Chan, Wu Ngan et al.
Yip Man's grave – Fanling. I recently found the location of this place (after a couple of hours of hunting) and have put directions on how to get there in the link above.
Lee Hoi Chuen's grave - Lai Chi Kok Cemetery – Bruce's dad's grave. There are photos of Bruce visiting the grave with Linda and the kids.
Mariners Club on Middle Road – Bruce used to use the telephones here to call Linda and Will Dozier during 1971.
Chungking Mansions – believe it or not there used to be a nightclub here called the Bayside Nite Club. I heard Bruce was friendly with the Filipino band here but seeing as the place wasn't built until 1961, if it's true, it must have been during one of his return trips in the 60′s or when he returned in the 70′s (many thanks to Vanessa Seed for nailing the location and providing the following picture of match books from her collection).
Fung Ying Sin Koon, Fanling – Snaps from a family outing here have been included in the "Memories of the Dragon" book (by Lee's siblings). Various snaps of Bruce in the temple grounds and inside the original temple (destroyed by fire sometime in the 1980′s).
Fanling KCR Station – just a small rural platform at the time but featured on many family photos – possibly snapped at the same time as the Fung Yin Sin Koon pictures (the temple is next door to the station).
10000 Buddha Temple, Shatin – turns out Bruce used to spend a lot of time in Shatin and used to run up the steps for fitness training. Just a rumour, needs investigation. It's not beyond belief given that he use to spent time at Lung Wah Hotel just a few hundred metres away.
West Forest Monastery, Shatin – lies next door to 10,000 Buddha temple and although once a popular tourist destination, fell into disrepair and abandonment before being recently resurrected as an illegal/unlicensed columbarium. Apparently a similar connection as its neighbour i.e. Bruce used to come here and train etc.
Perth Street – in Kowloon Tong where La Salle College was temporarily based when Bruce attended the school. The temporary huts have long gone but KGV school is also nearby – a favourite place for Bruce to scrap with expat kids. The photo below shows the temporary sheds that Bruce attended. Unfortunately I have no idea where I got this photo (perhaps on FLICKR?), I found it a while ago and neglected to note the source – if it is your picture please let me know and I will credit below. I believe the row of houses above the sheds ran along the south side of Argyle Street.
Ma Tau Chung Road Ambulance depot – the ambulance station from where ambulance A43 was dispatched at 22:30 to go and pick up Bruce from Ting Pei's Beacon Hill flat on the night of his death (many thanks to Paul Li for this information).
Mau Lam Street, Yau Ma Tei – the former home of Bruce's parents before they moved to Nathan Road. In fact according to the recently released documentation in the US, Bruce's siblings were staying there when he was being born in the US. The street is still there but, as expected, the building is long gone. Many thanks to Paul Li for correcting my initial belief that it was called Man Lam St.
Cadet's Naval School, Stanley – apparently featured in "The Orphan" – I have yet to see the film but HKscot has confirmed that this building still exists – although I was under the impression that the dating of this building meant it was not around when "The Orphan" was filmed. It needs more investigation but I'll grab some shots next time I'm in Stanley. The problem is I believe the current building wasn't built until 1964 which rules it out of being featured in any of Bruce's early films. Watch this space.
YMCA Cityview, Waterloo Road – I knew Bruce attended English lessons at a YMCA prior to leaving for the US, I just didn't know which one. Again, thanks to HKscot for filling in some details and telling me it was this one. Unfortunately, the current one is not the one Bruce attended.
Kom Tong Hall and Chiu Yuen Cemetery
Kom Tong Hall is now the Dr Sun Yat Sen museum and was built by Ho Kom Tong. Chiu Yuen Cemetery, next to Mt Davis is a well established Eurasian Cemetery that is the final resting place for many of the prominent Eurasians from HK. I put these two locations in with a disclaimer because I have since found out that there is some areas of Bruce's family lineage that are not clear. Essentially both are locations related to Bruce's supposed grandfather Ho Kom Tong, but it turns out the family link is possible via adoption and therefore more tenuous than first thought.
Ho Tung Garden – In a similar vein, although we now know that the blood relationship (between Grace and the Ho Tungs) is disputed, or at least not as straightforward as most people assume, but she did spend part of her life growing up in Ho Tung Gardens with Clara Ho Tung. It's been in the news recently because the owner (a Ho Tung descendant) wants to knock it down to replace it with multi-million dollar housing development. I think Sir Robert Ho Tung is probably spinning in his grave at the thought.
Ming Tak Yuen (Sunlight Garden), 2 Man Wan Road – location of the initial apartment Lee and family were living in on their full-time move to HK. They lived on the 13th Floor.
Soares Avenue – Just around the corner from Sunlight Garden on the opposite side of Waterloo Road is this small road where Linda used to do her grocery shopping.
~~~~~~ Additional Macau ~~~~~~
Lou Lim Leoc Garden – used in scenes from G.O.D but only featuring a lookalike.
Bela Vista Hotel – this place has cropped up on the recently leaked Ahna Capri Enter The Dragon outtakes/behind the scenes film. Just for the record it's not in HK. Any Lee connection? Nothing direct but obviously Capri must have stayed here when she visited Macau during the filming of ETD and I've included it to clear up confusion regarding its location.
~~~~~~ Gone but not forgotten ~~~~~~
9 Cox's Road – Former site of the HK scout association at which Bruce was once photographed with his brother. Now demolished and replaced by apartments.
Miramar Hotel, Kimberley Rd – yes, I know it's now The Mira but the building that was familiar to Bruce was the original wing on the north side of Kimberley Road, not the current Mira building. The north block was replaced by the Miramar Shopping Centre a while ago and it was in this demolished block that Bruce had the Unicorn Fist press conference, where he was supposed to meet George Lazenby on his fateful last night and where one of his favourite restaurants was – the Kanetanake.
Lei Tat Street, Yau Ma Tei: Yip Man's school address, the street became a victim to redevelopment a while back. According to HKScot the road was located approximately where today's Arthouse Broadway Cinematheque now stands. Interestingly, TVB actor Stephen Au had a shop/display dedicated to Bruce Lee at the cinema's bookshop for a while. It was called "Dragon Pavilion" and consisted of various memorabilia.
Queen's Theatre – Demolished in 2007. It was the location for the world premieres of Fist of Fury and Way of the Dragon. See some photos on Nat's Hong Kong Hustle blog here: http://www.hongkonghustle.com/movies/232/queens-theatre-hong-kong-movie-theater/
Golden Harvest Studios – demolished circa 2003/2004. Now a housing development called Kingsford Terrace.
GH Studios in 1973 (courtesy HK Mapping Office)
Golden Crown Court – 68 Nathan Road, one of Bruce's favourite restaurants and where he had a high profile dinner with Chuck Norris and Bob Wall during a break in filming for WOTD. The restaurant was eventually turned into the Banana Leaf Curry House, but is now just another branch of the Standard Chartered Bank. If the following photo is yours please let me know so I can credit you.
Old GH office at Tung Ying Bldg, 100 Nathan Rd – only recently demolished and turned into another unsightly mall called "The One". Also in the Tung Ying Building was Bank of America, Bruce's personal HK bank account, and Oliver's, where Bruce used to snack sometimes.
Lee Theatre, Causeway Bay: Bruce attended a Sergio Mendes concert there in April 1973.
Hyatt Regency, 67 Nathan Rd – The famous Hugo's restaurant was inside where Bruce first met Raymond to discuss films. The Hyatt is also rumoured to be the first place Bruce met his mistress – Betty Ting Pei – on the vehicular slope that used to be on Lock Road. The site has been redeveloped into the iSquare Mall.
Hak Keung Gymnasium: the good chaps on Gwulo.com have helped me find the former address at 749 Nathan Road. Famous exercise sheets from 1965 – one of Bruce's return trips – show us he went here.
Below is a pic of what #749 looks like today – thanks to Paul Li again for filling in some of the details. This building, now standing at #749, is called the European Asian Bank Building and was built in 1982 – so definitely not the one that contained the gym in 1965. Still, like many other vanished sites, sometimes fans just like to be in and around the space that once was. Now all I need to do is track down a photo of what used to be here – donations welcome.
218 Nathan Road: family home in 40′s/50′s and 60′s. The photo below is the only one I can find that features what was Bruce's old house (albeit a distant glimpse). Photo credit is eternal1966b on FLICKR. I've ringed the house – until I'm informed to the contrary, the modern day numbering of the block starts at 216 which puts #218 one house up from the side road (Tak Shing Street).
Yucca De Lac, Ma Liu Shui – A famous restaurant on Tai Po Road behind what is now University Station on the East Rail line. Frequented by Bruce and his family (as well as many famous stars). Sadly demolished in 2006 and currently being redeveloped into luxury low-rise housing.Below is an old postcard picture of how it looked.
Below is a shot of Bruce sitting on the railings.
Tai Hom Village studios – Diamond Hill area used to contain many small film studios – with whom Bruce made his childhood films. All that stands today is the Stone House of Tai Kuen Yuen studios. In an interesting link, Roy Chiao – Bruce's co-star in Enter The Dragon, rented this house for a time in the 50′s & 60′s.
Bruce Lee Cafe – originally a place called the Rickshaw run by Jon T. Benn, Bruce's co-star from Way of the Dragon. Jon was in the food and beverage industry before he came to HK so he was no stranger to this kind of venture. Even now he runs an F&B consultancy from his current base in Shanghai but still finds the time to act as well.
63 Broadcast Drive, Kowloon Tong – thanks to Paul Li for mentioning this. Bruce took part in several TVB shows in the early 70′s – in particular the famous "Enjoy Yourself Tonight" and the Po Shan Landslide fundraiser. Both were filmed at the TVB studios – located here until 1984 after which they were moved to Shaw's Movietown in Clearwater Bay. The site was demolished and turned into a development called "Peninsula Heights".
TVB on Broadcast Drive pre 1984
81 Broadcast Drive – former site of ATV (formerly known as Rediffusion and RTV) studios. Building was recently demolished and has been turned into a very expensive apartment block. I still need to identify the various ATV show(s) he took part in. If anyone can enlighten me please feel free.
4/F, 211 Prince Edward Road – Betty's home after she moved from Beacon Hill and whilst she was giving evidence at Bruce's inquest. Demolished quite recently.
Fourseas Bowling Alley – there is a (now) famous anecdote from Jackie Chan about when he once met Bruce in Kowloon and took him bowling. It turns out the bowling alley in question was the famous Fourseas Bowling Alley which stood at the site of the former hotel that gave the bowling alley its name. The hotel was the Fourseas Hotel on Waterloo Road – made famous by Martin Booth in his memoir "Gweilo"/Golden Boy – and the site is now occupied by the Kowloon Metropark.

25 Responses to "Bruce Lee's Hong Kong"
Well done Phil, must have taken ages to put this lot together. Your crowning glory is locating the humped hill ridge line in the Bruce Lee / Samo opening fight scene of ETD.
I wish you would take some pics of the Big Boss house in Thailand, it looks just the same today.
i have never seen anyone mentioning what i about to tell. Bruce Lee and his family used to be my old neighbor in Kowloon HK. That was before they moved to the Kowloon Tong. Him and his family were living on the 15th floor Ming Duk Villa Man Fuk Road, Waterloo Road Hill, Kowloon. I was 1 year older than Brandon Lee and we used to take the same school bus to La Salle Primary School. Sometimes Bruce Lee would accompany him to wait for the school bus. I just would like to share.
Excellent informative site and very easy reading! so glad you have done this for all us Bruce lee followers, Am visiting Hong Kong in 3 Weeks will check out several of the points of interest, have you any info on Bruces time in Thailand filming the big boss? hoping to visit Pak chong next year. keep the faith .
Martyn. -
Just find out this text that didn't post when finished on October last year.
Man Lam Street is never existed in the Yau Ma Tei area.
The other flat owned by Old Mr. Lee and it always sharing by kids and relatives before he dies was located in Mau Lam Street. The old building is no longer there but the street did not go as Lee Tat Street.Mau Lam Street is no disappearing and you can take a Hong Kong style western food in the famous Tai Ping Koon restaurant (founded 1860) in the end of the Street.
By the way, how could I attached photo file to your site or you can picked it from my Blog/ Facebook…
Here are some information about the European Asian Bank Building.
Address: 749 Nathan Road, Mongkok, Kowloon, Hong Kong
Year of completion: 1982
Ownership: Stratified OwnershipPs. The Fung Shing Restaurant on the lower floor is the right choice if you want to taste Classical Cantonese food.
Just for your information – "Bruce Lee Special 2010″ Commerical Radio Hong Kong…
Hi Phil, If there is no paragraph was overlooked, I do suggest that the good old TVB and RTV buildings over the Broadcast Drive should be included.
42 Waterloo Road – the ambulance station where the dispatch driver who drove Bruce (or his body?) to hospital on the night of his death.
The ambulance A43 was send from the Ma Tau Chung Ambulance Depot by the order of 999 Control Centre at 22:30.
Yip Man's school address is Lee Tat Street in Yau Ma Tei. It's in Prosperous Gardens where the Broadway Cinematheque is. His old residence is in Mongkok, Tung Choi street.
Yucca Du Lac deserves a mention. No longer existing but many HK films were shot there and Bruce visited there many times with family and friends.
Also the YMCA at Waterloo Road, across from the steps as mentioned above. Bruce studied English there prior to his departure to the US.
The Naval Cadet school in Stanley is very much in existence – I hiked around there a few years back; you can't miss it for all the chanting drills and whatnot.
Oh — and alas the Queen's Cafe in Causeway Bay is no longer there. (On another film connection note: it also featured in Wong Kar Wai's "Days of Being Wild".)
Watched Game of Death as part of the HK International Film Festival earlier today.
Re the "Red Pepper": at the end, when Billy Lo goes to hunt down the head villain, he first walks through the actual restaurant. The tables and chairs and general decor still looks like that — or, at least, the last time I visited some months back!
Re "The orphanage" in "Game of Death": That's the Po Leung Kuk in Causeway Bay — not that far away from where Red Pepper actually is!
A great compilation, Phil, some fascinating stuff here.
I'd be very interested to learn more about the Mirador Mansions rooftop… I lived up there when I first arrived in HK and had never heard that story before!

I don't like the "weapon" that Tesla is holding...but I spose it makes sense since he researched a 'death ray' and particle beam weapons...otherwise awesome shirt. I want one! I don't believe Tesla was considered 'insane'. He had hallucinations and OCD, but he was always able to distinguish reality from imagination. He never went berserk and launched his death ray like the comic book villains do. Lots of 'religious' people see visions of light too. I guess all the Catholic saints are insane?

He never thought the pigeon was his wife, he was merely in love with it. He loved it like a man loves a woman.
He also broke the laws of physics and looks badass on a t-shirt.

AWESOME T SHIRT of the most influential person of the last few centuries or millenia. Unfortunately, CRISPEN's mother was not a Tesla fan or we would have the blessing of atleast one less dumb ass on the planet. Don't crap where you eat--everything you enjoy today was stolen from Tesla's imagination. SUPER AWESOME T SHIRT!!!!!!! P.S.---we could benefit from about 4 billion dumb people like you never existing and dumbing down the planet while wasting resources. Survival of the fittest, not babying the gimps that pass on bad DNA. If you ruled the planet, we would still crap in our drinking water. Progress not regress (watch the apes on Maury Povich).

Tesla is universally considered to have been insane. He fluctuated between different levels of insanity and lucidity, similar to Van Gogh. At his worst, he would go on nonsensical rants, or lock himself in his labratory and eat nothing but saltine crackers and water for weeks at a time. He also recorded many hallucinations in his notebooks and papers towards the end of his life (during his "bad days"), including (reportedly) one about him loving a pigeon "like a man loves a woman" that had eyes with beams of light coming out of them. I don't know about the credibility of that last bit, but he was very fond of pigeons, so it either way. There's no denying he was an incredible genius, but he was most definitely not a mentally stable person.

Just an fyi, Crispen, nearly EVERYONE was for sterilization and eugenics before the aftermath of WWII. So I suppose the vast majority of people during the 19th and first half of the 20th century were insane? Lrn2history, scrub.
Crispen wrote
About the "not being insane thing," you know he advocated sterilizing the less apt members of society? Tesla may have been a genius, but I call eugenics advocates pretty fucking insane.
Broham wrote
Cameron, try not to talk out your anus, the words tend to come out muddled and brown. Tesla was never insane and never though any pigeon was his wife. Do not defile greatness with ignorance. Stop clicking the first link you see on your Google searches... If someone counters "u mad bro," my retort is, "your ignorance and saturated fat is what is wrong with America." Troll out

I adore this shirt. i wear it as often as humanly possible!!

I love the pigeon on his head. For those of you who don't know, Nikola Tesla went insane later in his life and thought that a pigeon was his wife. Awesome guy, albeit a little insane later on. Awesome shirt.

National Medal of Science
The National Science Foundation will accept nominations for the 2014 National Medal of Science between January and March 2014. Thank you for your interest and enthusiasm.
On December 21, President Obama announced seven distinguished scientists as recipients of the 2011 National Medal of Science. The White House press release is available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/12/21/president-obama-honors-nation-s-top-scientists-and-innovators.
The National Medal of Science was established by the 86th Congress in 1959 as a Presidential Award to be given to individuals "deserving of special recognition by reason of their outstanding contributions to knowledge in the physical, biological, mathematical, or engineering sciences." In 1980 Congress expanded this recognition to include the social and behavioral sciences.
A Committee of 12 scientists and engineers is appointed by the President to evaluate the nominees for the Award. Since its establishment, the National Medal of Science has been awarded to 468 distinguished scientists and engineers whose careers spanned decades of research and development. The recipients database from 1962 to the present can be searched at http://www.nsf.gov/od/nms/recipients.jsp.
For further information concerning the Award program or nomination process, contact:

As for Seas0npass not working, there's a good chance you have some incorrect entries in your hosts file... likely left there by Tiny Umbrella. You can edit the hosts file directly (can't recall it's exact location, windows/system32/drivers/etc maybe) or there's an option in TU to leave the hosts file alone.
Another option is to manually download the latest IPSW file from iclarified.com and Shift-click the Create IPSW so it'll let you manually select the IPSW file (i.e. SP won't have to download itself).
The JB faq has all the common jailbreak mistakes listed... try to rule them all out... haven't found a case yet where folks couldn't get SP to work eventually.
We're getting a little off-topic so I'll move the thread for now... we can continue over in the other forum though until you get jailbroken.
Thanks a million. greenpois0n had indeed failed to jailbreak my device. seas0npass worked with the IPSW from iclarified and I've now ssh'd into my ATV and got XBMC on it (now I just have to figure out how to populate my library/sources). If only the guys at FireCore had told me to simply download the IPSW manually. Would have saved me a day of headscratching. Thanks a lot for the advice, it's greatly appreciated.

HMP Isle of Wight is operating close to capacity according to Ministry of Justice figures, as the issue of overcrowding was raised by a prison charity.
The Prison Reform Trust announced today that 59 per cent of prisons in the UK were overcrowded and called for more effective use of community sentences to address the issue.
According to Ministry of Justice figures for July, HMP Isle of Wight, which consists of Parkhurst, Camp Hill and the Albany, had 1,578 available cells in total, occupied by 1,590 prisoners.
In total the prison has operational capacity for around 1,700 prisoners, with some cells suitable for two people.
Governor James Shanley said in an ideal world there would be one prisoner per cell, but added: "I am happy that we have some operational flex at the moment, we have spare capacity. We're not overcrowded."
Juliet Lyon, director of the Prison Reform Trust, said: "The prison population can be safely reduced by curbing inflation in sentencing, calling a halt to any unnecessary use of custodial remand and investing in effective community penalties."
According to the trust, government figures showed the most overcrowded prison in England and Wales was HMP Kennet.
The trust said the prison was designed to hold 175 prisoners, but in July had 337 prisoners there.

The more prisoners in HMP Isle of Wight, the more cost effective for the British taxpayer.

Converse has flagged this new colab with the inventive mind of Dr Romanelli. An updated version of the iconic Chuck Taylor silhouette, the Chuck Taylor All Star Cup is a mouthful and a half for a new model, but there's no doubt that the modifications add a certain refinement to this wardrobe staple. You can't get more patriotic than the Stars and Stripes and in this case, Romanelli, also known as Darren to his mates, has fused the most classic Americana reference with arguably the most renowned sneaker of all time. Both versions of the shoe sport 12-ounce duck canvas and leather with heritage details including gum soles and woollen toe caps, Romanelli's nod to vintage pea coats. Fixed with the 'Dr X' tag on the tongue, a mere 156 pairs of these bald eagles are exclusively available at Offspring in the UK!

CNET editors' review
price range: $396.00
- Reviewed by: Elsa Wenzel
- Reviewed on: 04/16/2008
The good: Corel WordPerfect Office X4 includes word processing, spreadsheet, presentations, note-taking, e-mail, and graphics applications; supports more than 60 formats including ODF and files from Microsoft Office 2007 and earlier; handles PDF/A as well as OCR in PDFs; strong tools for legal and long documents; security features; upgrade doesn't change overall look and feel.
The bad: WordPerfect Office X4 can be clumsy to learn for those used to Microsoft Office 2007; integration among applications is limited; some functions are hard to find; and it costs a significant amount.
The bottom line: The Corel WordPerfect Office X4 suite best fits those who prefer traditional interfaces for word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations. We found the features rich, but the execution sometimes clumsy.
User reviews
Good word processor, I really like the changes.
by rhinegoldwagner on March 28, 2010
Pros: Same stable word processor and all the old favorites I have liked for years.
Cons: Bought the Suite -- though I don't use all the extras, all I needed was the Email program, which doesn't work at all, very disappointing. Tried to get help from their CS center, promised calls back, never got one call back from them.
Summary: Great word processor, but don't bother with the email program, it doesn't work and there is no customer service support. Very disappointing to use this product for more ...
Summary: Great word processor, but don't bother with the email program, it doesn't work and there is no customer service support. Very disappointing to use this product for more than 15 years and I counted on it helping me when I got a new computer with Windows 7 and couldn't use my Outlook Express any longer and needed a new email program.
I had hoped this was the solution, but quickly found out it was not a solution in the least. Sorry to say that Corel support is poor for this product component. -
Nothing more than a glorified update.

How in the world is MS Word more popular?
by roark3 on February 18, 2010
Pros: Two words--"reveal codes"; if you don't know what it means, you won't understand why people who have tried WordPerfect insist on WordPerfect and laugh at people who struggle with MS Word.
Cons: Corel needs to work on full Windows 7 compatibility. Right now, there is no iFilter for WordPerfect X4 so Windows 7 indexing doesn't work. Fix this Corel!
Still the best word processor available
by dmaddox44 on December 15, 2008
Pros: Reveal Code: it not only shows you why something looks the way it does but provides one-click access to the screens to make changes.
Price: most people qualify for the upgrade price.
Endlessly customizable: Leave it as is or adjust it to your needs.Cons: Some of the conversion results aren't free of error, but I can see with each upgrade that the results are getting better and better.
Word Perfect over Word any day any time

Summary: I have had to use both Word and Word Perfect since 1980 and there is no way Microsoft can better any of their programs that will be as easy and user friendly as Corel's products, and especially Word Perfect. Corel is innovative; Microsoft is not. You have to think with Word, etc., but not with Word Perfect. No comparison can really be made between a slug and a program that is great - Word Perfect. I have both on my computer and just convert from WordPerfect to Word, etc., when I must, but never work in Office if I can avoid it. Waste too much time thinking and too many menus to hop around. I like straight forward programs and Microsoft's stuff is never straight forward. Ugh!
WordPerfect -- what Word will NEVER be!!
by Cymbalzzz on March 15, 2009
Pros: WordPerfect is the defacto choice for serious word processing...always has been and always will be. Comparing WordPerfect to Word is like comparing a Lexus to a Yugo.
Cons: None. None.

Summary: I installed Office X4 after having a freak issue with Office 2007. I had some sort of corruption in my registry or something. Long story longer, I had high expecgtations for WordPerfect Office X4. I was really dissapointed. Once I resolved the issue and started using Office 2007 again I fent that it was much better.
Outlook 2007 is second to none. There are a bazillion Windows Mobile phones that sync up with outlook with little effort. I can't even check my e-mail on my computer with Corel's mail program.
Also, a little known "secret" (as far as reviewers are concerned) is that you can change the theme in MS Office 2007 to black, and the black theme is really good looking. X4 looks terribly outdated, the software is remedial, and the price is as high or higher than Office 2007.
I think they would do well to release their software on Linux and maybe even on Apple computers. Right now, this suite is competing out of it's league. Linux users would probably welcome X4 as an upgrade from openOffice, but compared to MS Office it's junk.
It does kind of have a professional appeal to it though, and it probably handles the most file type compatibiilty of any word processor out there.0 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Hopefully see what my tax return gives me. :S
One observation - if you have Firewire 800 (heck or even 400) you could go 60GB SSD drive and get windows 7 Home prem (at least 64 bit, so no basic).
the enclosure will throttle the SSD drive a bit (well actually a lot) but it should be fast enough (if you have decent RAM and aren't paging everything to disk).
So you're looking at about $250 (drive+enclosure+OS) total.

Im 5 episodes into The L Word and Im enjoying it. The episodes feel like they are longer than they are but the dont over stay their welcome. I like the characters so far and I am looking forward to where they go with them. The fact that there are multiple sex scenes per episode is just an added benefit
Also I think Shane is a weird name for a girl.
Oh and the brief music that plays over the title card reminds me of Last Train to Awesometown.

okay, for quite a while i'v had 4GB RAM, i'v had 2x1GB Corsair XMS2 DHX DDR2 800MHz and 2x1GB OCZ Value RAM 667MHz DDR2 overclocked to 800MHz, and i was thinkin today, would my computer be faster if i overclocked the Corsair RAM and only had 2GB, or havin 4GB RAM?
I'd say the 2Gb overclocked...the OCZ would only hold back your overclock. If they were the same speed I'd say both.
so you think it would be worth losing 2GB (1.5GB 32bit) of RAM to overclock the Corsair? if so, how far do you think the corsair XMS2 DHX will go?
i only get 3.5GB in Windows XP 32bit, so removing 2GB RAM, i will only loose 1.5GB of available RAM. but there is 4GB RAM in my PC (2x1GB crucial XMS2 and 2x1GB OCZ
Ah, now I get ya. For XP 2Gb does perfectly fine, so fast 2Gb worth of RAM is much better than 4Gb of slow RAM IMO.
I have 64bit Vista and haven't noticed a difference downgrading memory to 2x1 from 4x1 and o'clocking e8400 to 3.6ghz. Personally I like the 2gb better because I can play with settings more than with 4gb because the memory has to be underclocked to be stable. I look forward to going to 2x2 in the near future but will stick with 2x1 until then.
You should definitely take out the OCZ and OC the Corsair. My Corsair can do 1000 MHz at 4-4-4-12 at it flies.
I am not a fan of mismatched pairs, generally more ram equals better, but you are really making it tough on the memory controller using mismatched stuff.
Then I think you have an issue with your RAM tbh. I've got 4x1 and I've got the same overclock I got with 2x1 and same timings...
I had 4 X 512 of matched Corsair PC3200XL (2-2-2-5) in my AN8 Fatal1ty using a Opteron 185 and Vista Home Premium 64 and I was pretty much hating life, 2 X 512 wasn't quite enough. I put 2 X 1 Corsair PC3200C2PT and now it came into it's own. I attribute that to the memory controller not being best suited to eight banks of memory. Four sticks of single sided memory would be just four banks and the controller can handle that just fine. Just hard to find single sided sticks anymore. Now this was with DDR and 939 series CPU's. I do expect the controller on AM2 and later CPU's to be better and DDR2 to be easier to control, but I am prejudiced toward two sticks only. I am using 2 X 2048 AData PC6400 with Vista Ultimate 64 and 2 X 1024 Patriot PC6400 in another with Vista Home Premium 64. Vista works well with two Gig, more is better of course, but I will stay with two sticks.

In God Loves You: He Always Has - He Always Will, Dr. David Jeremiah reveals that not fully understanding and appreciating every critical dimension of God's love can lead to missed opportunities to experience His love. He explains how even the so-called negative dimension of God's actions - hell, prohibitive commandments, pain and suffering in the world - can only be rightly understood by viewing them in light of God's true love.

Satriani and Marshall tweaked a classic to create a new generation of tone.
The Marshall JVM410H Joe Satriani Edition head is an addition to the Marshall Signature Series. Marshall's R&D engineers worked vefry closely with Satriani to craft the JVM410HJS. After much experimentation and an assortment of trials that involved Satriani using prototypes during recording and touring, they signed off on the final version and the JVM410HJS went into production.
The most notable difference from the original JVM410 is that the reverb pots have been replaced with four nose gates, one for each channel, and each with their own threshold. A Mid Shift button has been added and can be used with both the OD1 and OD2 channels.
The Clean channel is based on the 6100 when on the green mode, with the orange and red modes being hotter variations. The Crunch channel takes the original JVM410 crunch and adds some of the popular Marshall "AFD" circuit to it. The OD channels are voiced identically, based on the JVM410 OD1 but with the gain scaled back slightly and a smoother transition between modes. The Mid Shift button determines the difference in mid character between the original JVM410 OD1 and OD2 tone, moving the mids from around 650khz (Mid Shift off) to around 500khz (Mid Shift on).
The JVM410HJS is powered by EL34 tubes and has two Master volumes, the supplied footswitch allows you to switch between Channels, Modes, Master Volumes, FX loop and now the Noise Gates and Mid Shift as well. There is also a full MIDI implementation.

I cannot adequately express how excited I am to see you all perform. Counting the days, minutes, seconds and breaths. I have lived outside of Austin for 2 years in October….and I am far from my home….but I just know….that November 3 gives me a night to 'Sigh No More'....and feel at home.

I agree, add a date! Austin will eat you up. And KGSR is playing you quite a bit, so you could definitely sell out another show…
