Hong Kong Phooey

HK has been good to us, but it is time to hit the road. Seeing the gatherings of Amahs (the Cantonese word for maid) on the streets Sunday reinforced the fact that HK is not representative of Asia (Amahs are maids -- mostly Filipino women that work six days a week for rich HK families. Sunday is their day off, and they gather by the thousands in the streets to socialize). High finance and high fashion have their place, but we came to see the real Asia. Stay tuned. We will let you know what we find.
