Urban Outfitted

In future blog entries, I want to post more photos of what people are wearing here in HK.  There's a lot of variety, at least here around the hotel in Kowloon.  But first I have to learn how to ask, in Cantonese, if I can take someone's photo.  (My lessons begin tomorrow!)

One thing I've become very interested in is shoes.  In a city where everyone walks (and walks a lot!), my eye is naturally drawn to footwear.  One of the most popular is the old-school Converse sneaker -- it seems that every other young person on the MTR is wearing some variation of them.  The pair shown above made me smile.
