Charity Flag


On a Saturday, I saw someone selling charity stickers again. Growing up they always do it on Sunday. I have heard that they used to give out little "flags" instead of stickers. You put some change in their box and they would give a little flag that can be pinned on your clothes. Yet, growing up I only saw the stickers in Hong Kong - I guess it would be fun to see a flag again from time to time.

Old Time Convenience Store


This is an old time little store in my childhood's neighborhood. They sell friuts, snacks, drinks - somewhat like what a Circle K or a 7-Eleven would sell, except that they don't open for long hours and they have much less variety of stuff. Anyhow, if my memory serves, this little store has been here for almost 30 years. At one point, the store owners was still a young couple, but now they both have grey hair :)

Fresh Fish Vendors


We love fresh fish here, instead of the frozen ones. In the open market, fish vendors put out their products according to the type of fish they are selling. The "live" ones are kept in the shallow "tanks" with prices written on little white rectanglar pieces of styrofoam, floating on each tank.
