And here's a video of our ICS seniors showing off their own gangdam style:
I was enjoying my day, eating junk food and watching all the action when I came upon an amazing sight: a "white elephant" sale, as they call them here. Several tables stacked with clothes. I was not only very surprised but also one happy camper! A local lady told me that buying used clothes here is a considered very gauche. She was surprised when I told her this is common practice in America and that even our movie stars are getting into "vintage," (a nicer name for used). I asked her what people did with their used clothing and she told me they just throw it out. "Very wasteful," she said, "but this is the Hong Kong way." I'm thankful that at least a few folks didn't think so! I bought 10 new pieces, modeled here, many of which are very mix & match, for a total of HK $150 (US $20). I estimate that by combining the different pieces in multiple ways, I have at least 20 "new" outfits. 20 outfits -- 20 bucks. Can't beat that deal!! Enjoy my new fall wardrobe fashion show, self-timer style:
