Christmas Eve

Some shopping, fine dinner and a walk in Tsim Sha Tsui. For some weeks this city has been filled with the feeling of Christmas and it's reaching a climax today. It's really packed everywhere and people are buying stuff like they are insane. Been to one of the Ralph Lauren stores today and people were picking up clothes as if they are some $100 for 3 goods. No supurise when you see all the people are wearing Polo shirts some day, you could tell they aren't fakes.

It was so crowded in Canton Road that you may think 49% of the population were in TST (and another 49% in Causeway Bay). There were many people performing and singing Christmas carols. Teenagers were trying to get hooked up with somebody.

Started heading home at around 11:20. I am too old to push a path for me and my girlfriend to move in the crowds. Anyway it's kind of happy to know this city is being all cheerful and alive at this time.
