3. Shopping for stuff and for food

Shopping of course is Hong Kong's premier attraction. I'll just post two contrasting photos, one, at an upscale shopping mall and another, at an outdoor food market.



This is the entrance to The Times Square in Wanchai. No, it's not the New York one, it's the Hong Kong one. This is actually an older indoor mall that has been one of the first upscale malls. Now there are many even grander ones. We walked through the Pacific Palace today and it is huge.



This second photo is taken at an outdoor market just a block from Times Square. This is where we can buy fresh produce, live fish, live chicken, and watch the butchers carve up an entire carcass right on the street. The meat is hung on hooks. See how the shoppers are all female and there is one who looks awfully familiar!
