Google Street View comes to HK

Jan 6, 2009

A few minutes ago, just above Lan Kwai Fung, I spotted a silver Prius with an odd contraption on the roof and Google stickers on the door. Looks like Google Street View will be coming soon to Hong Kong.

I took great pleasure in photographing the Google Street View car, which was presumably photographing me.

Perhaps I should have run alongside the car to get in as many shots as possible.

Google 岩岩加入左Hong Kong Street View, 剛才用iphone 試用了, 真係正冇朋友, 以後唔駛驚迷路了.
P.S. 原來Google car 係一架 Toyota Prius, Google 唔驚佢會失控嗎?

Yep, it's for streetview.
One of those cars stopped right beside our car. Looks like I might be on Streetview.

Betsy: It usually takes Google about three months to process the data and put it online. In the meantime, enjoy some of these fun Google Street Views:
