Sunday afternoon, we took the subway to Kowloon to check out the markets. Margie wanted to go to the Ladies' Market in particular. This market ran for 5-6 blocks with stalls on both sides of the street. Many knock off handbags, clothes, wallets, etc. Also, a lot of cheap clothing items, trinkets, jewelry that the locals buy. Few tourists but you get the idea that most of the customers are the locals buying what they can afford. A few blocks away are the major designer stores for the rich. A real mob scene. We did not buy anything, just experienced it. We also went to the Jade Markey and to Chinese department store. The jade market was full of jade trinkets and jewelry but one can not tell the quality if you are not an expert. Macy's would have loved to have had the crowd at the department store. It was mobbed with after New Year's sales.
