Trolley culture ...
 |
These shops full of
strange things are serviced by an army of men with trolleys. The trolleys
are sturdily constructed and propelled at frightening speed along the
pavements and roads. Their pointed metal frames scythe along the pavement
at ankle height, and if it weren't for the dexterity of the trolleymen,
and of the pedestrians nimbly leaping out of the way, there would be far
more casualties.
On the other hand it could go a long way to explaining
the disproportionate number of people in Hong Kong with false legs and
limps. A tip from one who knows: don't just look in the direction of the
traffic when crossing the street in this area -- there's bound to be a
contraflowing trolley ready to take you out.
