Biao drives his Merc to the Middle Road playground to reminisce about one of the trial witnesses that has just been killed when some kid called "fatty" (yes, Hong Kongers really do have a tendency to call people who are "gravitationally challenged", fat - kids and adults) accidentally chucks his football through the car's open window.
This playground no longer exists because it was removed to make way for East TST - then KCR, now MTR - station. Another change in this area is that the Mariner's Club has either been demolished already or is about to be (I haven't checked yet) to make way for a newer larger version.
When the station construction was complete, a new playground was constructed on the roof and the area is linked to the promenade by a rooftop walkway over Salisbury Road. Spot the also-now-demolished New World Centre building in the background of the last image.
