Excellent. I’ve always found neon signs fascinating, it’s such a great thing about Asian cities and Hong Kong really takes it to the next level. I often describe HK to others as like Times Square NYC but spread out in every direction indefinitely. I look forward to seeing more of this online exhibition.
