The first night in Hong Kong, I walked, with a friend, around Mongkok, Yau Ma Tei and Jordan area. We chatted rather mindlessly and found ourselves in the middle of Occupy Hong Kong movement. Incidentally, it’s the 5th of November; a day of resistance.Hong Kongers were in Guy Fawkes mask were shouting “Kwong ming lui lok!” …
