On 11 November 2006, which also happens to be James's birthday, the last ferry departed from the iconic Star Ferry Pier in Central, Hong Kong. To show our support against the demolition of the pier, James and I, along with hundreds and thousands of Hong Kongers, showed up at the pier and rode the ferry across this particular cross-harbour route on that night one last time.
Last ferry gone. Lights out at the Star Ferry Pier.
P.S. Soon after this historic day, the Star Ferry Pier was demolished. Redevelopment of the site is currently underway: a six-lane road and a low-rise shopping centre are among the plans for the site.
