He didn't mind...

sitting next to a rubbish bin view map

After a busy morning, he took a break, had a quick lunch and
enjoyed reading a local newspaper.

That's the real life of the grass roots!

You have captured a man filled with contentment....
picking his teeth with a tooth pick, a drink nearby to quench the thirst,
a cigarette to indulge in and a magazine for enlightenment.
Outstanding street shot, Kwan

It amazes me how clean the back streets are... Life is much the same all over, change the decorum, but the actions are the same... we call it the Rat Race.
Great adventure throught the back streets of HK... and outstanding photography.

That's life for many HK people! Great capture.

Another excellent capture of this side of living in HK, close to sensational, but for some quite ordinary. Great candid! V
