The Most Densely Populated Place in the World

It is called Mong Kok, and it is incredible. Everywhere you look, there are people.

It is a really popular area in Hong Kong for shopping, especially in the "Ladies Market," where people are encouraged and expected to bargain at the different retail stalls. There is a lot of stuff for sale, including "Copy watches, copy handbags" which the shopkeepers yell to you as you pass by. Some of the designer knock-offs that you can buy are just terrible. In all, though, it was an awesome experience. Bargaining was a lot of fun.

Just to give you an idea of how busy it is in Mong Kok, here is a video of a pedestrian intersection...


Classes start tomorrow! And I am going to get a Visa so that I can travel to China this weekend...it is so exciting!

Talk to you soon!
