Bruce Lee's house

I know it doesn't look like much, but when Bruce Lee moved back to Hong Kong in the late 60's/early 70's this is where he lived until his death in 1973.

The house was called "Mui Hok Siu Juk", which means "Plum Crane, Little Bamboo". Bruce was warned before he bought the house that it had bad Feng Shui but bought it anyways. He died nearby.

It is just down the street from where I work in an area called Kowloon Tong. It has most recently been used as a love hotel (AKA rooms by the hour) but is on the market again for purchase.

Plaque on the outside wall.

Loosely translated it says,
"Kung Fu master Bruce Lee used to live here. Trespassers will be haunted by him. Stay away"

(OK I made that up)
