Ladies Market, Mong Kok





Eventually, after weeks in HK, I finally ventured to the "Ladies" market in Mong Kok, Kowloon.  Sunday afternoon, upon entry, is perhaps the worst time to venture into the shopping district, yet it proved its worth.  Perhaps better known for HK's knock off central, we found our way into the bags, watches, and wigs.  I left overwhelmed by the sheer amount of population.  And couldn't help think I was on the streets of Mumbai.  Over population, certain, yet the deals are worth a visit.  Politics behind the Ladies Market, very complicated.  Experience, a must.   I am wildly confused.  Scarfs for under $3.00 USD, watches $3.00 USD, bags $10.00 USD.  Overpopulation = I am adopting a child.   Too much population and a long narrow street, blocks and blocks long.  More later.  It is late.  I have not slept all weekend, yet determined to blog.  I am living in Hong Kong?
