A new day

Dear blog

Today we have been trying to combine sightseeing and just enjoying the city. We have been going to several districts to feel the atmosphere and see where the locals go. The “ladies market” for example was crowded with locals that needed some new clothes, there were also a lot of tourists there of course. We also went to some famous streets to go for a walk and a new apple store apparently had just opened. There was an enormous queue because everybody wanted their hands on the new Iphone. It has been an enormous success down here and in the news it stood about a man that actually had bought 82 phones to sell them to others.

The sudden iphone explosion probably has something to do with the economic growth in Hong Kong. The rich people want to show off their money with a Smartphone. They want to distance themselves from the poor people in the city/state that really have problems since there’s hard to find a place to live because it costs a lot. Hong Kong like China has gotten a system where the rich people are really rich and the poor people on the other hand are really poor. Li Ka-Shing for instance is one of the really rich in Hong Kong; actually he is one of the richest men in the world. He’s probably the richest man to drop out of high school with his 26 billion dollars. Even his name sounds like money (ka-shing- ka-ching). Hopefully the economic development will change so everybody will get something out of it.
