No, Hello Kitty is too cute and I don’t like cute things.

The Find: Giraffe Cap
Final Price: $10
Where Found: Small shop in Tai Yuen Street, Wanchai

It could be your most stylish accoutrement this summer, it’s totally waterproof and it only costs $10. This giraffe cap is open at the top so it won’t interfere with the results of your latest visit to a hair stylist and it allows air circulation to keep your head cool. Of course, it won’t totally protect you in a rain shower, though it is good enough to ensure your mascara won’t run. And what more would you need for a jungle-themed party? If the giraffe doesn’t appeal, perhaps a shark cap will do it for you. Or a bird, cow, or another kind of fish. We’re convinced that, with one of these faux head covers, you’ll be the talk of your whole neighbourhood this summer.

Fanling is a place of modern and old, life and death. Private and public estates are set gracefully among trees and parks yet the area has its unique old buildings: Luen Wo Market, the original marketplace for the surrounding villages, was the setting for the film Hooked on You, starring Miriam Yeung and Eason Chan. However, since the end of the filming, the old building has been left to its own devices and is slowly and sadly collapsing. Walk on for 15 minutes and you will see Fanling Wai, one of the largest walled villages in Hong Kong built by the Pang clan. At the other side of the KCR station, the Taoist temple Fung Ying Seen Koon serves vegetarian cuisine and attracts a lot of people at the weekends. It also overlooks a public cemetery much like Wo Hop Shek, another well-known local resting place for the dead. No wonder, then, that what makes Fanling really bustle are the festivals for the dead, Ching Ming and the Double Ninth Festival.
