Excerpt from Born to Shop: Hong KongThe first time we went to Hong Kong, we were totally overwhelmed. We were there on a three-day stopover from one place to another place and were very much ordinary tourists. We shopped and took aspirin - all the choices gave us very bad headaches. We spent a lot of the three days feeling like chickens without heads and wishing we weren't seeing so many of the same in the markets. There was so much stuff out there that we felt not at all able to choose what to do and where to go. Every time we picked one place, we had a thousand doubts about all the places we had been forced to eliminate.In the end, we were thrilled to leave Hong Kong. We had to get out or go crazy. We vowed that when we came back, it would be with a better education and the ability to dis cern between Biwa pearls and Kobe pearls.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
