Nov 4, 2015Stanley, Hong Kong
I can’t keep track of how many times I’ve been to Hong Kong over the past 30 years, but I always make a point of spending at least half a day in Stanley. In fact, compared to bustling Central or Kowloon, going to Stanley is like taking a mini vacation. First, there’s the roller-coaster bus ride in a double-decker from Central that careens around curves and zips over hills on its 30-minute journey, providing tantalizing views of the South China Sea along the way. Although bargain shopping makes my heart beat faster, a leisurely meal is also always in the picture.

One of the first things an observant visitor to both Tokyo and Osaka might notice is Tokyoites stand on the left side of an escalator so commuters in a hurry can pass on the right, while Osakans do the opposite and stand on the right. The origin of this right-left split is hotly debated. One theory surmises it stems from the Edo Period (1603–1867), when samurai living in Edo (now Tokyo) are said to have walked on the left side of crowded streets so they’d have quicker access to their swords. Osaka’s merchants, on the other hand, supposedly kept to the right side of the street, close to buildings and walls, to safeguard valuables carried in their right hand or tucked in their right sleeve.
