Occupy Hong Kong

I moved to Hong Kong when I was one, and by the time I was six it became a fact of life that the most important accessory in the hot humid month of a Hong Kong summer is an umbrella. Chinese 格格 (housewives) would never be caught without one, to shield them from the brutal sub-tropical sun, lest their moon-white skin be caught by its rays and turn an undesirable yellow.
