The Philippino maids make up a sizeable portion of the Hong Kong population .Despite their meagre savings they constitute a major market for cheap clothes and accessories.You find them everywhere in the various shopping malls as well as in the streetside shops .The ten-dollar shops are always crowded with these very active women who always appear to be brimming with a rare joy of life . The Tagalo they speak sounds very much like an Indian language . On Sundays all the roads at the Central are closed to enable these women to congregate in large groups .  ¶ 4:57 AM
