Christmas in Hong Kong (part 1)

British people celebrate Christmas in a big way! It's interesting to see to what extent Christmas is celebrated in places where Christmas is not part of a centuries-old tradition. I'm living in Hong Kong and obviously this part of the East was under British rule until 1997, so it's logical that Christmas is celebrated a little. Last year I stayed here for Christmas and went out for Christmas lunch and all the shops were still open and it seemed that on Christmas Day local Hong Kongers were mainly shopping! I thought you might be interested in some of the photos of Hong Kong around Christmas time, so here you are...
