"Are these really Hong Kong?" I asked in Mandarin.
"Yes, old Hong Kong... very long ago, we have this" the lady answers in her not too bad Mandarin.
"Really?"
"Yes, long time ago!"
"This is not Hong Kong....!"
You be the judge here... haha!This lady maybe can sell ice to eskimos... or these magnets to anyone in the world, but not to me! haha.
Btw, this is taken at the Lady's Market in Mongkok. More of Mongkok markets to come :)
QuaChee,
ReplyDeleteYou've sharp eyes ;) I thought imitation products only rampant in the mainland but seen it had contaminated the pearl of the orient too :P The souvenirs are pretty nice but the manufacturers and retailers should give due respect to the heritage owner *sigh*
It's look bit like Melaka isn't it?
ReplyDelete@benedict, you are right! And to have such a glaring mistake! lol. (btw, there's lots of fakes in this pearl of the orient - especially in their markets hehe) :)
