Our trip to China includes a tour to two of our Great-uncle and aunt's manufacturing plants as well as one of their mansions. Suffice to say that everything is jaw-droppingly vast and elaborate. We are only there for two days. Due to an immense hold-up at the border, we are unable to see the school our Great-uncle has founded, or his birthplace. It is a disappointment.
We take the opportunity to do more exploring upon our return to Hong Kong. We are now more street savvy, and manage to find our way onto a couple of harbor-side walks.
We also discover rows of bustling street markets. They are vibrant mini communities that become increasingly inhabited as the day progresses. Vendors hold conversations amongst themselves and potential customers. Grocers yell out to the crowd in abrasive voices, hoping to attract attention to the food piled around their stalls.
