As you can see, the streets are more narrow than the streets that we are accustomed to in Canada. Often taxis, cars, buses, pedestri-ans, motorcyclists and bicyclists all share the same space. Again, honking seems to get people out of the way and although I have not been privy to having a front row seat to an accident, I seem to have episodes of anxiety as I have witnessed a few near misses! The shops are usually street level and then residences are above the shops. Hong Kong has many high end clothing stores which makes it renowned for its shopping. At first a T-shirt seems rather pricey at $120.00 until you realize that it is about seven Hong Kong Dollars to our one Canadian dollar.
