playing ketchup

I mean catch-up...

(as my engrish degenerates everytime I learn a new language)



China is the world capital of bootleg!
Every possible colour variation, pattern, style of nike, converse (hi/low even made up styles), adidas, le coq sportif, keds etc etc imaginable is here. requests can be made at: size/colour/style or brand in the comments.

Shopping areas are often segregated in to areas of sporting goods, shoes, ladies clothing, flowers, pet supplies.. entire streets are dedicated to a single shopping item. I happened to stumble across a fake firearms area the other day that had an assortment of military gear, guns, and model cars... it was a total 'boy' zone.


en vogue!
actually, i took the picture cause i liked the sweater.. or thought it was funny/great...

like this one. triptych!

bid now!

not all of HK is a new and clean as Central district. most of the markets are in ghettos. some markets like the most popular one in Mongkok (Kowloon) can be expensive.





ps. bird flu post has been briefly updated. more pictures to come... post on transportation/muti-level society/international trade/mainland china to come...

facts learned:

- homosexuality was decriminalized in 1991
- China is seen as unfriendly, full of crime and dangerous (giant unknown mass - too many people not enough enforcement)
- a large number of Secondary schools are closing down in HK because people are too busy working and not marrying and having kids and living mostly in common law (maybe a global generational attitude).
