So here are some photos from two malls that we were at this past Christmas. It's interesting to see how they see Christmas and envision snow or snow themes. There is also a few shots of Stanley at night during the festive celebrations.
I hope that everyone has been having a wonderful holiday season so far. The New Year is around the corner and with that we will be moving to a service apartment until our more permanent place of residence is ready for us. So good-bye Stanley, and hello Aberdeen. We're going to be trading the open tourist spaces for a more old school urban lifestyle for the next little while. Think Chinatown in any major city and you'll get an idea of what I mean. Rest assure there will be photos about the area.
So without further ramblings, here are the photos.
Taikoo Shing - Cityplaza
Causeway Bay - Times Square
Hong Kong Tidbit: The area that you see with the decorations was declared a public space, so all decorations must include seating areas. Besides typical benches people have used their designs to incorporate this requirement. You'll also notice that unlike many places around malls in other places, planters and other makeshift seating is designed to discourage people from doing just that. In fact those at Times Square a slanted for that purpose.
