Hong Kong Socks and Swim Suits

Hong Kong Socks and Swimsuits
Shopping in Hong Kong

If nothing else, Hong Kong is a shopper’s paradise. From glitzy malls to street markets, consumerism is king.  I prefer the backstreets and alleys. There’s a lot to be said for the sidewalk vendor. They are far more interesting than the uber malls with cold salespeople, full of things I can afford. A month’s salary for a tie? Nay, I say.

I am of the belief that every women’s bathing suit in Asia has a skirt attached. It’s a strange place.

    Yea, I agree. I went to Hai Nan over the summer and got baked and 99% of the gals had those swim suits with the skirts. And the irony is they are in such shape but cover it up, but back in the states women that should not be any sort of swim suit whatsoever were things and bikinis with no shame. A strange world we live in.

  2. I am sleepy… that should read “women that shouldn’t be seen in any sort of swim suit whatsoever wear thongs and bikinis”

    It’s only a skirt. In India they go swimming in a sari.

    Do you know how hard it is to find a modest bathing suit here? Maybe I should visit Hong Kong.

    Hmmm..in India it doesn’t exactly qualify as swimming! It’s dipping in the water if you are in a sari 🙂

    AJ: Dipping sounds a lot more dignified and regal than swimming.
