In the second photo it looks like both the man and woman are right handed, because they are holding their bags on the right side.
Which begs the question, why would the logos be backward? (They may be wondering that themselves.)

I'm 99% sure I see a gas door keyhole, and the hotels listed are all Hong Kong ones so I'm going with a RHD bus and a goofy license plate.

I'm going to agree with bus daddy. You can see the gas door. Right hand drive with a reversed plate. Why a reversed plate? So it can be read in the rear view mirror of the car in front of it. Similar to how "Ambulance" is reversed on the front of ambulance trucks.

| My first guess was RHD since no exhaust pipe showing. Would that year have a stock side pipe? |

another walk-in humidor? Stumpen is a german word for cigar. they are shorter than handmade cigars. stumpen indicates that they are short. like tree stump.
