On Birds and Business (I seem to like aliteration lol)


Mong Kok's Bird Garden:
A place where old men bring their pet birds to hang out and show off.
Many types of interesting and exotic birds are on display as well.
It's so funny how businesses in Hong Kong all seem to congregate together. If you want to look for travel agencies they are all located on 1 (or 2 ) floors in the same building. There is a WHOLE mall of stores solely devoted to weddings and whole streets and neighbourhoods of furniture or home renovation or the like. And a cell phone mall and computer mall! Sure makes shopping convenient and maybe that is why Hong Kong is a mecca for shopping! Another example pictured above, is the Bird Garden in Mong Kok.

    Haha, I have found an even more extreme version of this phenomenon in Japan. We have found multiple outlets of the same store all in the same shopping area! E.g. 5 of the same shoe store, all within 5 mins radius.
