Demonstration in HKG
Not really a to-do but a record of the events in Hong Kong during this time. The various blocked streets have become a pseudo tourist attraction, where people from all over come to snap pictures.

Antique Street

 
*picture of bistro along Antique Street*
A short, but uphill walk from Sheung Wan MTR station the antique walking street has a sporadic spreading of antiques with some very nice boutique bistros with the price to match. Sandwiching the walking alley are more designer antique stores. 

Pretty much if you think the prices of antiques along this short walking street is too steep, then you can forget about looking at the boutique stores.


Some of the standout items were the clocks and the lock. The mechanical cat clock (pictured center) was made in the 1940s. The movement of the fish is timed for seconds whilst, where it cuts the clock visually represents the minutes. Asking price of HKD500.
 
 
 
It may not be worth the trip just to go there for the relatively short row of antique vendors. Unless some of the antiques in those pictured above catches your eye, then one can give this place a skip.
