Don't stop, move on!

One thing I dislike about Hong Kong is the amount of people. Or actually not the amount but how they work as an individual in the crowd. Cause that's what they THINK they are, but sorry guys, slightly wrong there. When you are in a street and there's an uncountable amount of people flying around, you are not an individual anylonger you are part of a larger group. Then certain rules should be applied like you shouldn't just stop with out any warrning to the person who is walking behind you, or suddenly decide to cross the road. Today a person just stopped in the middel of the street right in front of me. There was nothing NOT anything that could indicate his reason for stopping. Because, it wasn't as if there was a street to turn left or right for. The path we walked on was straight forward, with nothing on the sides. So of course I crashed into this guy, and I sweared in Norwegiand and he probably sweared in Cantonese. But this just keep on happening to me. When talking about crowds and streets there's another thing I dislike about certain areas of HK, and that is, this is very likely to happen to you if you are walking down the street in Tsim Sha Tsui that there is a south-east asian man running after you shouting at you if you would like a tailor made dress or a copy watch. Even though I start walking faster and try to pretend that I don't see them they still haunt you down. This happens everytime i'm down there. Can't they see the difference between me and a normal tourist with a camera in his/her hand (or other features of a typical tourist) who actually might be interested in a tailor made dress or a copy watch. I'm a bit mean now I know, but you get so tired of having people running after you and shouting at you.

Are you mainstream Ise???, and when it comes to those tailors, and cons trying to sell you rip-off things! Remember they are "hunters" with years of experience and "hunting" down "prey" is their speciality. Those two years of inhabitance in HK still haven't colored you enough for them to leave you alone!... Maybe you haven't catched that perticular smell yet... Something about Pheromones, right??? hhehehe... yeehaw
