The Find: Superman Fling ’Em
Final price: $22
Where found: Tai Yuen Street, Wanchai

Avid Findery followers will notice that of late there has been something of a guy’s influence on the section. What with Star Wars and robot claw arms, we felt it was time for a different angle. So we present you with – Superman. See, ladies, he looks just like Brandon Routh and even has some firm if woolly muscles under that costume. And his gorgeous blue eyes – well, that’s another story. The key to this Superman says it right on the tin: ‘fling ’em.’ Either take a firm grip of his, ahem, lower abdomen region and hurl or grab one end of his 23-inch cape and swing him out over your head. We guess he has a maximum flight distance of about 15m. Not bad for $22, but pretty abysmal for a superhero. Still, taping naughty messages to his back and tossing him around the office is a fun way to pass slow afternoons.

Rennie’s Mill. It sounds friendly, as though one could have known Rennie all one’s life. But the name points to a sad story, standing as it does for Albert Herbert Rennie, a retired Canadian civil servant who established the unsuccessful Junk Bay Flour Mill in 1905. Soon after the death of the business, it is said Rennie committed suicide by drowning himself in the sea. As the news passed from one person to another, it became embellished, until the most popular version had it that poor Rennie tied one end of a rope to a rock in the bay, led the rope back to the mill where he tied the other end around his neck and jumped into the sea. Thus the original ‘Chiu Keng Leng’ became ‘Tiu Keng Leng’, meaning hanging ridge. However, were the story true, the miller would have needed a 3km length of rope to complete the feat! And modern-day Tiu Keng Leng contradicts all such sinister connotations. The station is a pleasant refreshing lime green and connects directly to a moderate shopping mall surrounded by still-developing residential apartments. Shops sell all sorts of knickknacks, from plastic Popsicle makers to small cupboards painted sweetly with teddy bears and kittens.

I haven’t been here before, I don’t like it because it’s quite a noisy place.

Good place for food but too many people.

It’s a convenient place to get everything done.

It’s in Hong Kong and it’s not in Hong Kong, a place out of the city.

It’s a very historic building with a good atmosphere of foreign culture.
