VLVL2 (9): Des Voeux Road

[Tim Strzechowski]

143.30: "[...] Takeshi had already long been a nomad in the sky's desert, continuing to depart in kerosene fumes to seek another connection in another Pacific port, to nod to faces he had last seen coming out of the Yat Fat Building in Des Voeux Road [...]"


This alludes to Takeshi's previous ventures in Hong Kong, China.
