點解我會影呢間醫院？
唔知？ 俾啲
tips你：睇下嗰張影走廊嘅相。
咩話，仲係唔認得？
再俾啲tips 你吖：
”若我情，未夠深，但我長情能擦過天地人…” 係喇，呢個咁靚咁英式嘅醫院,，就係黎明個手機廣告嘅場景喇。唔知你哋第一次睇個廣告時，有冇喺度諗：間醫院好似好靚喎，係唔係喺香港嚟0架？小弟就直至有朋友入咗去做，先知原來間醫院位於山頂0架。
以下係wikipedia 對Matilda International Hospital 嘅間介：
明德國際醫院（Matilda International Hospital，簡稱明德醫院）是香港一所私立醫院，位於香港島太平山奇力山，主要為該區的富有人士提供醫療服務。
醫院由香港英籍商人Granville Sharp興建，為紀念其亡妻Matilda Lincolne，因此將醫院命名為「Matilda Hospital」。醫院於1907年1月27日正式啟用，收容第一批病人。
其實喺一百多年來的英國管治之下，我哋係留有好多好靚嘅英式建築、同英國留落嚟嘅事物0架.
所以本blog 將會喺未來嘅日子，為大家繼續介紹喺香港各地不同嘅英式事物。

Why did I take a photo of this hospital?
No idea?
Let me give you a tip.
Okey, please look at the the corridor in the photo, do you remember something? No?
I give you one more tip.
“Although my love is not deep enough, my love lasts for eternity……”
Yeah, this English-styled corridor was the scene of mobile phone advertisement which was acted by Leon Lai! Can you tell me that what was your expression of this hospital when you saw this advertisement? Have you thought of this hospital was actually in Hong Kong?
Well, I didn’t know this hospital was located in the peak until a friend of mine told me who was working in there.
Introduction of Matilda International Hospital
Matilda International Hospital is a private hospital which is located on the Peak of Kellett Road in Hong Kong Island. It was built by a British businessman Granville Shar. Actually, this hospital is a memorial of his wife Matilda Lincolne. Therefore, it was called” Matilda Hospital” during 1907 and aged over 100 years old!
I will keep introducing more British-styled building or custom which can be found in Hong Kong in near future.
