Hong Kong Central Library

It is stunning, terrifying, ... and amazing ... that this library is always so busy - whether it is Sunday, Monday ... I am just looking for a seat/table to work from my laptop - but after over 15 mins of walking around and around, I have to admit that as many other places in Hk, you have to wait patiently. And be prepared for bizarre instances like what this elderly behind me just did ... she literally dashed from the open area to the seat behind me just to get the seat when the one who is occupying was done with his reading, and she was carrying with her whole chunk of newspaper and a bag etc ... and she made a big bang when she landed on the seat with a great speed. And she immediately start flipping the newspaper! She must know some kind of kung fu ... Surprisingly nobody seems to be disturbed ...

I am sure after couple days in this library I won't be writing story like this - who is going to be surprised when this is something so common here ...
