I'm told it's from Shenmue.com and is related to "Hinamatsuri" that takes place in March.

Edit: It was found using the web archive site wayback machine.

You've seen dogs walk like humans... But have you seen humans walk like dogs?

If I saw LanDi on a bike id jump kick his ass off it.

Did you know there are Sega Mark III consoles in Kowloon? They're in Moon Child Building rooms 309 and 903.
I think I read about that but completely forgot about it. Anyway I just discovered them by myself.

No cables or controllers?! O, how the mighty Shenmue, grand master of attention to detail and all that is good in this mortal realm, has fallen!

Read an old article (that haven't read before): http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/2691 ... e_Dull.php

What specially liked was this line: "[...] allowing [Shenmue] to become comfortable and adjusting to its idiosyncrasies [...]"

I believe this is a wise mentality to apply to other interactive entertainment softwares, too, as well in other situations.

Also highlighted these lines shown in the pic below:

I've noticed something interesting with the Man Mo signs that hang on the fence right across the building.
When you're inside the Yan Tin Appartments the game loads different textures for them. You can see them through the door but I managed to get a closer look after glitching out of the building.



Normally the small sign on the bottom right is so deteriorated that you can only read the first half. But here it's fully visible. I always assumed that it was a sign for Man Mo Temple, as you can just about make out the T, but it's actually for a travel agency. Now this Man Mon Travel Co. is obviously nowhere to be found and that made me think.

Maybe they intended to have this building somewhere but then they had to cut it? You know that empty alley in the South Carmain Qr. that has absolutely nothing of interest? Maybe it would've been put there.

nice one bluemue. that dead end alley has always intrigued me, and i've often wondered whether something was removed from the final game. this certainly indicates that a travel agency was removed (at least from somewhere). i'm pretty sure i've never seen a travel agency in either wise mans or south carmain qrt. we know that they removed a scene with ryo and the little girl from man mo medicine riding on a bike (wonder what that was about?). they clearly planned more scenes involving that shop but they decided to leave those characters in the game just as standard npcs. it begs the question why they didn't just do this with the travel agency? or at least leave it derelict.
