Hong Kong (香港; "Fragrant Harbour"), officially Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, is an autonomous territory on the southern coast of China at the Pearl River Estuary and the South China Sea. Hong Kong is known for its skyline and deep natural harbour. It has a land area of 1104 km2 and shares its northern border with Guangdong Province of Mainland China. With around 7.2 million inhabitants of various nationalities, Hong Kong is one of the world's most densely populated metropolises.
After the First Opium War (1839–42), Hong Kong became a British colony with the perpetual cession of Hong Kong Island, followed by Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 and a 99-year lease of the New Territories from 1898. Hong Kong remained under British control for about a century until the Second World War, when Japan occupied the colony from December 1941 to August 1945. After the Surrender of Japan, the British resumed control. In the 1980s, negotiations between the United Kingdom and the China resulted in the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration, which provided for the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong on 30 June 1997. The territory became a special administrative region of China with a high degree of autonomy on 1 July 1997 under the principle of one country, two systems. Disputes over the perceived misapplication of this principle have contributed to popular protests, including the 2014 Umbrella Revolution.

Sha Tsui (Chinese: 沙咀/沙嘴) was a headland in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong. It was situated at the west end of the old town of Tsuen Wan. The main road, Sha Tsui Road in the town centre of Tsuen Wan New Town is named after it.

Tsim Sha Tsui (Chinese: 尖沙咀/尖沙嘴; Cantonese pronunciation: [tsiːm˥ saː˥ tsɵy˨˥]), often abbreviated as TST, is an urban area in southern Kowloon, Hong Kong. The area is administratively part of the Yau Tsim Mong District. Tsim Sha Tsui East is a piece of land reclaimed from the Hung Hom Bay now east of Tsim Sha Tsui. The area is bounded north by Austin Road and in the east by Hong Chong Road and Cheong Wan Road.
Geographically, Tsim Sha Tsui is a cape on the tip of the Kowloon Peninsula pointing towards Victoria Harbour, opposite Central. Several villages had been established in this location before Kowloon was ceded to the British Empire in 1860. Tsim Sha Tsui in Chinese means sharp sand mouth. It was also known as Heung Po Tau (heong1 bou4 tau4香埗頭), i.e. a port for exporting incense tree.
Tsim Sha Tsui is a major tourist hub in metropolitan Hong Kong, with many high-end shops and restaurants that cater to tourists. Many of Hong Kong's museums are located in the area.
Street food is ready-to-eat food or drink sold by a hawker, or vendor, in a street or other public place, such as at a market or fair. It is often sold from a portable food booth,food cart, or food truck and meant for immediate consumption. Some street foods are regional, but many have spread beyond their region of origin. Most street foods are classed as both finger food and fast food, and are cheaper on average than restaurant meals. According to a 2007 study from the Food and Agriculture Organization, 2.5 billion people eat street food every day.
Today, people may purchase street food for a number of reasons, such as to get flavorful food for a reasonable price in a sociable setting, to experience ethnic cuisines, or for nostalgia.
Small fried fish were a street food in ancient Greece, however, Theophrastus held the custom of street food in low regard. Evidence of a large number of street food vendors were discovered during the excavation of Pompeii. Street food was widely consumed by poor urban residents of ancient Rome whose tenement homes did not have ovens or hearths. Here, chickpea soup with bread and grain paste were common meals. In ancient China, street food generally catered to the poor, however, wealthy residents would send servants to buy street food and bring it back for them to eat in their homes.

[Intro: Training Day]
King Kong, ain't got shit on me!
[Verse 1:]
Bring out the apes the gorillas the monkeys the junkies
Half money half bummy half genius half dummy
Dirty, slutty, bloody, muddy, filthy fuck buddy
If you're stupid you should study how I'm steady making money
Like I'm Steady B, Freddy Krueger, bald as Lex Luthor
Spark buddha, pick a public park become a sharpshooter
Chop an off-duty cop up into chop suey
Channeling Tupac through me (hock tui) damn I'm such a glock groupie
Bad grammar, bad manners, bad hammers, bad mama jama hammer boppin
Got your grandma yellin like she's Janice Joplin, I'm joshin
Please get off my johnson, I see you bitches jockin this jargon that I'm jotting
I'm Jesus a genius a G I'm a genie
Grantin bitches wishes if they wish is for my pee pee
I'm greazy and greedy and creepy and freaky and skeevy
Your breezy, but fuck me for a CD
They are very very dangerous, they are wild animals
Something's got to be done
[Chorus:]
Look at all this wild shit ya'll got me on
With fire arms now it's on like Honkey Kong
Where my gorillas at? Where my apes at?
Where my gorillas at? Where my apes at?
Look at all this wild shit ya'll got me on
They play this song and it's on like Honkey Kong
Where my gorillas at? Where my apes at?
Where my gorillas at? Where my apes at?
[Verse 2:]
Bring out the rebels the devils, bring out the vandals
Bring out the vicious ditch diggers and bitches with love handles
Bring the bummy scummy stretch mark tummy with no money
Strobe light honey who swears she like a playboy bunny
Ap is batty, daffy attitude, crappy to scrappy verbally
Abusive baby daddy, call the liquor store a packie
I'm picky in particular, consider sex an extracurricular test
And you can call me Professor Testicular
Stick it in ya dick dangle down to my fibula
Nah I'm fibbin it just barely touched the top of my tibia
The titty touchin, titty crushin, pretty fuckin disgustin
Kiddy abductin, giddy up to gallop through the dust
A chauvinist, a showoff, as classic as Chopin
Or Eric. B with dookie ropes so call me the dope man
You fucks don't even know, if you don't come up with my dough
You'll hear more neins (nines) than German people screaming "No! "
I'm that Honkey Kong, orangutang, killer ape, gorilla [scratches]
