Wait for a While

A prime example of the honor and dignity of Hong Kong people presented itself a few weeks ago when we were out shopping. A shopkeeper had left this shoe store briefly; there were stacks of shoes lining the sidewalk up against the store, and only a string with a handwritten sign barring anyone from entering the narrow shop. That is just one example of the trust people have in the honor and honesty of most of the city; we regularly see someone's bags or belongings sitting by a door; items for sale are stacked outside where they could easily be taken without being seen, but it's obviously not an issue. What a great place to serve!
