Encyclopedia of Things That Never Were

Today I was inexplicably stuck on the 9th floor of an aging office building in Kowloon for about 15 minutes. After the hour-long drama of trying to pay my flat's gas bill on the 14th floor (don't ask), I attempted to take an elevator back down to the ground level and get the hell out of there. Unfortunately the elevator decided to stop at floor 9 and refused to budge any further. Having exhausted the time-tested methods of elevator troubleshooting (such as furiously punching the buttons and swearing colorfully), I got out in the nondescript 70s-brown corridor to consider walking down 9 flights. But then I looked up, and my rage was replaced with a child's delight as I discovered something that made it all worthwhile. Just some of the everyday magic of living in Heunggong. Enjoy.
