Here are my guesses, but if anyone recognises any of the locations, please let us know in the comments.

0:00 - heading south along Nathan Road

0:37 - continuing south, but this section has trees, so probably starts from the junction with Austin Road

1:00 - heading back north along a street parallel to Nathan Rd

1:30 one of the E-W streets across Kowloon

agree with your guesses david.  from 1.30 it is granville road, starting where it crosses with carnarvon and heading towards the harbour.  

most of my pyjamas and kiddie clothes came from here at one time and our grocer, asia provisions had a branch here to so am very familiar with the street!

Thanks Vanessa, good to have that cross-street identified.
