[2009] Hong Kong

Another Lunar New Year in China.
This time spent in Hong Kong with friends and lots and lots of food. I was full the whole time. It was unusually chilly when we visited so I had to wear everything single piece of clothing I had packed each day. I spent my time mostly with friends from Queen's University. There were so many of them I thought I was back in Kingston.

The most striking thing about this trip was the vast amount of Filipino workers in HK. On Sunday (I believe) these workers have the day off, and since they don't have their own home they spend their day out on the streets. They just sit in a park, sidewalk, anywhere really and hang with their peeps. It was a very interesting social phenomenon. I'm not really sure how I feel about this at all.
