So earlier today I was sitting on a bar patio having a happy hour pint (not much of a bargain, HK$40/US$5.15 instead of HK$50/US$6.50; some places have 2-for-1 specials) and free peanuts – I was resting my legs after doing my architecture walk and walking back down from the mid-levels, and it had started to rain slightly…
Anyways, so I’m sitting there minding my own business (with wi-fi on my smart phone to keep me company), when I see two Chinese girls smiling and taking a photo of me, and then one takes a photo of the other standing next to me (on the other side of the rail separating the patio from the road).
I figure they must be mainland Chinese tourists (the fastest growing segment of tourists in HK), especially since i was sitting in a bar in a well known little street of bars called Lan Kwai Fong (in Central). And there were quite a few other Chinese obviously-tourists-what-with-their-cameras-and-posing-under-the-street-name-sign behaviour.
Tables turned? I wonder what they’ll say about me when I they show their pictures when they get back home…
