This video was shot just two years before my very first visit to Hong Kong. We arrived by BOAC De Havilland Comet IV and I can remember disembarking the steps and smelling the legendary nullah (the pool of stagnant water just next to the runway) at its worst. I was just a few years old but I can still recall turning round to ask my mother what the unpleasant smell was, to which she diplomatically replied: "It's the fish, dear."
