Diversity

It's 7.30 in the morning. I wave good-bye to my Honey at the subway station and get ready for a nice, brisk morning walk up on the hill side (it's too hot to run outside, just toooo hot). As I'm walking I meet lots of people, all kinds of persons and all kinds of outfits. 

It's the boys and girls in uniforms on their way to school; it's the helpers dressed in capris, a top with a fun message like "Have a nice day :)" and flip flops who are taking the dog for a walk; it's the grannies dressed in old rags slowly making their way to practice Tai Chi in the park; it's the women in black lace tops (don't know why lace is so popular among office women), black pants and nice heals, and men in suits, on their way to the office; it's the men and women in hats and worn down clothes that carefully and proudly clean the streets and parks each day (no wonder Hong Kong stays so clean, they rock!). And then there is me, in work out clothes, hat and headphones, on my way to burn calories. 

It's fascinating to see all these people, sharing space and time, side by side. We all do our own thing and move on. We all have our own path to walk and everything has its time.
 
This is in Causeway Bay. See the sign way in the background? :)
