Small town

Sometimes Hong Kong feels just like a small town.
Take a closer look.

The island café...

The well-stocked stationers'...

The working-class district...

Have you noticed?

Sweet sweet café

Assorted café delights: milk tea, egg tarts, coconut tart (Pak Ho café and cake shop, Sai Wan Ho)...



Iced milk tea and pineapple fruit punch (streetside café, Cheung Chau)...


Tofu flower (Gung Wor cafe, Shek Kip Mei)

Nannying

The government takes a supreme, almost parental concern in the daily activities of people:

Signs everywhere encourage, cajole, kindly recommend...

..or in some cases, pile on the restrictions!
