My last entry was about high density living in HK and I came across another article. This one is a bit more sad, it’s about all the people (mainly the elderly and disabled) who are left behind and lives in small cramped rooms, or cages. Read it : HK’s shame: cages that are home for thousands

The news never highlight these things, I thought they were the elements of the past, but it is very apparent indeed. The poor, the elderly are so hidden away from HK society. When I pictured HK, I did not even think about these issues. I feel so ashamed.
