Hong Kong is a city of contrasts. I bet that there are more Armani stores in the glitzy malls of Hong Kong than there are in Rome. Right around the corner from Armani, the fishmonger, at the wet market eviscerates his catch, so that he may better display their swim bladders.
Here we have captured the contrast in one fell swoop. I have spared you both the glitz and the blood, which I thought you would appreciate. This is a state of the art, chi chi wedding cake emporium. The classic gray Hong Kong apartment buildingis reflected in it's window. Notice the air conditioners and the laundry.
