Apparently at the weekend the roads around the Mandarin Oriental turns into a big street party for the Philippino community. It's a sight to behold. If I hadn't read about the phenomenom from another members' page I wouldn't have realised what was going on. People sit on the roads and pavements eating, chatting (loudly), painting their nails and generally just chilling out. They were not threatening at all and seemed to be in good humour - I was with my b/f though, so that may have helped that we were not harassed.

Before 1997, Hong Kong is a British Colony and therefore her culture is based on British way. However, since majority of the citizen are Chinese and hence Chinese culture is still common and popular.
