1.Shao Qi Qi, housewife
No, I don’t feel that they are indecent and the cartoons are cute.

2.Hung, Sales
No, David is a piece of art and the cartoons are from an ad. Still, I don’t know what’s indecent about the picture of the woman...

3.Yu, Web designer
It depends on the context. Also, I think they look beautiful.

4.Ada, student
Totally not. They are art and the cartoons are for education. There’s no indecent meaning.

5.Jan Schaefer, Translator
No, I think they are not indecent. They are just art.

The Find: Egg Tart Ice Cream
Final Price: $19.90
Where Found: 7-11

You can’t say Hong Kong people are not creative – only in the SAR, or perhaps Japan, could you find egg tart ice cream. Which might lead a local wag to ask which came first: the egg or the ice cream. Yet this dessert is not just a hastily flung together marriage of two very different foods, but a chocolate biscuit base bearing an ice cream with a good approximation of egg flavour. We just had to lay aside our smoking pens and try it out. Not bad! Now we can’t help but wonder what’ll be next - milk tart, fruit tart, bird’s nest tart or Portuguese egg tart ice cream? The mind boggles, the stomach waits...

Mong Kok literally translates as ‘flourishing/busy corner’ – quite an appropriate name if you’ve seen the milling masses bustling beneath the sweltering sun. The main ‘industries’ in Mong Kok are food, retail and entertainment. One of the territories’ most popular and internationally famous street markets runs through the middle of Mong Kok: opening around noon until the shutters come down at 10:30pm, the Ladies’ Market’s three blocks of food stalls, clothes and other useful items are a shopping mecca for young and old. With some bargaining, you can grab a bag of fish balls, some sexy lingerie and a few DVDs for less than $100. The addition of the shiny, 59-storey Langham Place in 2004, a government urban redevelopment scheme, has started the gentrification of this working class - and at one time the world’s most populous - neighbourhood. Today there exists a strange mash-up between the designer boutiques, the Portland Street red-light district and the traditional markets. Surely this can’t last as the property moguls try to encase us all in glass and concrete. So, experience and enjoy the heart of Hong Kong, while it’s lifeblood is still vibrant, hot, noisy, sweaty and alive.
