Christmas spirit

A fellow Disneyland inmate pointed out something interesting on the bus ride into Central this morning. The Connaught Road underpass has an assortment of Christmas decorations adorning various poles and the like. Most of these decorations are made of crete paper and are all within easy reach.

The inmate pointed out that if we were in London, Sydney, New York or any other such city these decorations would last several minutes at best before someone took them down. Even with a couple of security guards the very idea of such decorations would be laughable as they would be vandalised quickly and irreparably. Yet these decorations have been up for a few weeks and look as good as new.

It speaks volumes about the attitude of people here.

Chinese people tend not go in for vandalism.

In all my visits to Hong Kong. I don't remember seeing any spray can tags or destruction of public property.

It always amazes me when people just destroy public property for the hell of it. Its so prevalent here in Australia, it amazes me.

When asian kids get into trouble, its usually organised crime. Something of a whole higher order of nastiness.
