If like me you have ever visited Hong Kong in the last 10 years you would have noticed mistakes watching Flash Forward Ep10.
It was quite obvious that the research team didn't even try to find out about local culture and their use of vintage stock footage of Hong Kong was a disappointment.

The episode showed men pulling rickshaws, local people riding bicycles and wearing stereotype old fashioned clothing, some were even wearing straw cone type hats and holding paper umbrellas. I can't remember ever seeing anyone riding a bicycle when I was last there and I have never seen any rickshaws, in fact looking this on on wiki it says "No new licenses for rickshaws have been issued since 1975, and only a few old men—about four as of 2002—still ply their trade, mainly for tourists."

The shot of the plane landing into Kai Tak Airport must have been time travel as that airport was replace with Chek Lap Kok Airport 1998.

Looking at the shot of Hong Kong harbour it was strange seeing an empty skyline with many of its famous buildings missing.


It really tried to make Hong Kong look like a old fashions poor city and not like the most modern and vibrant rich city that it is.

I guess they didn't count on you having been there, because most of us have never been and wouldn't know the discrepancies. But that is the way of TV drama. It never can be 100% accurate. I guess the budget kept themk from making a fresah trip for some new footage.
No new rickshaws? Really? Wow.

You know what, at the first when knowing this Episode 10 got something about Hong Kong. I was so excited to watch how it is gonna be. But after I watching it.....I'm so disappointed of how they build the scenes of Hong Kong.

I can tell a lot of things in there are so wrong. Since I born and live in Hong Kong, I should be so excited to seeing it. As what studiodaz said.......he/she is right. Especially the airport.....So wrong....and the street scene. What they show on TV really makes me feel that is a very old and poor village. But the real Hong Kong that I'm living right now is totally different.

The only thing which is good in this episode 10 is the skyline of Hong Kong. Now that's the real picture of Hong Kong, but not those streets, airport, or even how people wear in Hong Kong.....and one more thing, the rickshaws. There is no more rickshaws in Hong Kong on the streets. Even the design of the rickshaws are so wrong. It's not suppose to be like this.

By the way, there are few more wrong things as well.....1) The Police Car (Not in color black, should be in white and looks like a truck not a SUV) 2) Police (Should be in green uniform with a navy blue jacket and shouldn't holding a machine gun)

Anyway, maybe is the budget things that makes them doing the scenes like this as what Peggo said.

But still, it's a good thing to have Hong Kong in this TV drama. Coz not many people in state know about Hong Kong or don't even heard the name or even the location.

GOOD TRY FLASH FORWARD~! ^^

Shortly wedding dresses, after my parents moved from Pennsylvania to a remote rural

area of Ohio near the Kentucky border， they began noticing dark areas of grass in the shape of circles. I saw one myself

once when I visited them and teased that it looked as though a UFO had landed there. It would fade away and another would

appear somewhere else some time later. One time a friend visited them and they showed them the odd circles of dark grass.

The friend told them they are fairy rings. My mother went to the library to see what she could find on fairy rings and

learned that folklore tells that if you stand in the center of a fairy ring at midnight during a full moon and make a wish

， it will come wedding dresses true.
Some time wow power level,later， a new fairy ring appeared just a few yards

from her house. (All the others had been out in the pasture.) There would be a full moon in a few days so she decided to

see if the folklore tale was true. During the day she put a bucket in the middle of the ring so she could easily find the

center at midnight. The night of the full moon she went to the bucket at midnight and made a wish. Within just a few short

months her wish came wow Power Leveling true.
My parents ffxi gil,had bought this property (140 acres surrounded on three sides

by state game lands) and built a new home there so it pretty much depleted all of their savings. There was still so much

that they dreamed of having there， but would not be able to do on my father’s pension. My mother’s wish was simply to

have all the things they wanted for the property. One of those things was roads to the remote areas. Another was to have a

garage and a third dream was to have a small lake on the ffxi gil property.
Soon wow power leveling,afterward， a company contacted them that was

interested in some of the lumber on their property. They would pay for what they forested and promised not to rape the land

that my parents loved so much. In order to get to the more remote areas for the trees they wanted to take they had to put

in wow power leveling roads.
One day wedding dresses, my mother was talking to one of the owners of the

company. He was telling my mother what beautiful property she had and what potential it had. He seemed to have developed a

special fondness for my tiny 78 year old mother， and talked to her quite often during the month or so that they were

there. My mother told him about her dream of a lake and he told her they had the equipment to do it and they would do it

for her for no charge. They dug a deep and wide area out behind the first meadow and diverted water from a creek into it.

My brother stocked it with fish and turtles wedding dresses abound.
With the money wow power leveling, they made from the sale of the trees they put up

a three-stall garage. Some people may say that those things would have occurred anyway even if my mother hadn’t gone out

into the yard at midnight during a full moon to make a wish. I guess we will never know. But another occurrence after that

only strengthened my belief in fairies. Maybe sometime I will tell you a story of the fairy wow power leveling designers

pictures.
