The photographer has some other pictures up here: http://www.greggirard.com/work/kowloon-walled-city--13

I have that book, haven't read it yet tho

― dayo, Wednesday, 9 May 2012 13:43 (fourteen years ago)

I want to impulse buy it but it's kind of pricey! Does it seem awesome?

― mh, Wednesday, 9 May 2012 14:16 (fourteen years ago)

I got it for half that price so for that price I would say it's awesome

it's more text heavy than picture heavy, tho

mmm quiet room

apparently people go ~insane~ if they are in the anechoic chamber alone for more than a half hour. aural hallucinations!

― your native bacon (mh), Wednesday, 15 August 2012 21:20 (thirteen years ago)

oh for sure
the silence is deafening, etc etc

― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 15 August 2012 21:22 (thirteen years ago)

aural hallucinations, in the right circumstances, can be pretty awesome though (thx, mushrooms!)

once in a public washroom i thought i heard an orchestra playing but it was only the sound of flushing toilets

there's a vox booth at the radio station that veers close (tho prob not too close) to negative-sound and it can feel kind of weird in there

I'd like to give that a shot.

Disagree strongly with that bloggers repeated assertion that that's ugly.

price seems a bit high for 0 acres

The perspective on this room is getting me. Is that doorway really only 5'5" tall or so?

$50k?!?!?!?!?!?!?

― the late great, Monday, 8 April 2013 18:09 (thirteen years ago)

I love that, due to real estate differences, I had the same thought but I bet you're thinking "wow, what a deal!"

― I, rrational (mh), Monday, 8 April 2013 18:11 (thirteen years ago)

yeah :-/

i am in a 1300 sq ft condo that cost 3x as much

― the late great, Monday, 8 April 2013 18:15 (thirteen years ago)

that place looks bigger than 1200 sq ft

― the late great, Monday, 8 April 2013 18:17 (thirteen years ago)

could be due to those 5' tall doorways

― I, rrational (mh), Monday, 8 April 2013 18:19 (thirteen years ago)

No a/c system, no windows apparently, but plenty of room for your 36" flatscreen.

Google Street View creates more questions than answers, unfortunately.

Cops
Come and try to snatch my crops
These pigs wanna blow my house down
Head undrground to the next town
They get mad when they come to raid my pad
And I'm out in the nine-deuce Cad

― the late great, Monday, 8 April 2013 19:12 (thirteen years ago)

there are parts of the house where someone's obviously put some effort in, like a floor that looks nice, and then one wall of that room will look like someone just haphazardly nailed sheetrock over it and there'll be a gap near the ceiling

the incongruous nature of that kitchen counter against the completely different parts of the wall

― I, rrational (mh), Monday, 8 April 2013 23:58 (thirteen years ago)

I get a Kowloon City vibe from it
