Confucius Say, Chances of Finding a Nativity Set Slim

OK, so I have been all over Hong Kong in the last 24 hours. It's truly amazing how crowded EVERYTHING is. I've been to Lantau Island to see the Big Buddha (more on him later). I've been to Stanley, which is on the far south side of Hong Kong Island, which is where the flea market shopping is. And I've been to Kowloon, to walk up and down the store-lined streets.

Hong Kong is a shopper's paradise, believe me. But what I've yet to find is a Nativity Set. If you know me, you know I collect Nativity Sets from around the world. It's just one of those things, along with cheesy magnets, that I collect. They don't have to be big or expensive. Just interesting.

Well, nothing. Nada. Zip. Not a one in sight. Oh, I can buy a Buddha in every shape, size, material. But a little Jesus... not a chance.

All for now,
Lisa
