little man about the village



You've grown up in a village HK.  Literally - its called a village, it looks like a village and people get to know everyone just like a village.  Like your barber doing your first hair cut.  You walk past him and say hi most days.  You bumb into him at the local coffee shop.  We love that about living here and it been just great to be able to take you out and about so easily.
