This is basically the same view as on the first page -- looking south from Kowloon to the Central District on Hong Kong Island -- except that in this shot I zoomed in to concentrate on the tallest buildings...

Well, I opened up the crumpled paper, and on that paper were all the correct answers to the questions he had asked me about my age, family members, etc.!  I was really impressed by that, and although I didn't give him the 300 Hong Kong dollars he asked me for (about US $38!) I did give him 40 (a little over US $5), because I thought it was a really neat trick.  I still wonder how he did it...!

End of story :)
