City

Our town is too crowded. BW and I talked about our town when we had a lunch peacefully.

Things have changed. Our town could not endure so many people that coming from Tin Shui Wai or mainland for their consumerism.

Just look at the Yuen Long Plaza, it is not meant to hold so many people as we can see now. The escalator was slow and narrow so it pick few people to get to the 1st floor. And that's why there is usually a long queue before it.

This is not just happen in Yuen Long town. Instead of using a microscope, we can pick up a map and see how our city changed. Shatin does not become a better place for local people but merely for the rich people to get stuff which were made from their country. What local citizen looks for are peaceful weekends to walk around the big plaza. But they are disappointed.

"Now they even talked about tearing our city apart to feed the beast. You know what. They appointed an infamous official to sell the ideas!" He said. I was amused, he has become now a man of ideas and thinking, telling me his concern of our town.

Then I realized that we have changed. But we have changed better.
