Video: A door that opens to anywhere you wish

If you had a free pass to anywhere in the world, where would you go?

We asked Hong Kong people where they would go if they had a door that could open up to anywhere at all.

This door would be similar to popular Japanese cartoon character Doraemon's dokodemo door ('anywhere door'), which can take its user across time and space.

We parked our camera at the junction of Sai Yeung Choi Street and Shantung Street in Mongkok and fielded some surprising answers from passersby.

Talk about a door to anywhere....this video is a splendid door to Hong Kong itself. Wonderfully produced. Lots of heart. And a great punchline at the end that I won't spoil!
