The electronics street in Kowloon (Photo: Helena Hurme)

I took the metro to Kowloon to a certain electronics shop. It was 35 degrees centigrade so it was no easy expedition. When I showed a map and started to ask about the address, a man instantly asked if I look for "the women's street" (no, there are no women for sale there; instead it is a shopping street for women, which runs parallel to the electronics street. How handy to split up and then meet at a restaurant!). The man had difficulties imagining that I would want to visit the electronis street! But I found what I looked for so it was worth while going there.
