There were tens of thousands of Indonesian women in the city this weekend. I have no idea what they were doing there. Was it part of the Occupy movement? Were they here on vacation? Was it a conference of some kind?

Whatever it was, they were all sleeping on the streets like this. 100% of them were women, and they were all from Indonesia. They were all dressed very nicely (except the ones in pajamas), and they were all eating homemade fancy looking cupcakes and drinking boxed wine. They clearly were not poor or homeless, but they were also clearly having a good time and not protesting anything. They didn't speak English, so I'll never know why they were there....


  

My favorite of the Hong Kong currecy. The $2 was wavy!
