Weekend nite along the tsim sha tsui waterfront promenade is a surprise… haven’t been there at holiday nite for many years… kinda afraid it would be too crowded, too noisy, too touristic… Last nite, a friend told me there would be some tango enthusiasts dancing there; I like to experiment with my new canon ixus 550 camera too, so i went there…

Erotic music, gliding steps… suddenly the toilet-like tile (all our public places are covered by similar tile) turn into pebble sidewalk somewhere in argentina… My eyes follow their feet to turn round and round, hoping to grasp the steps… but harder i try to remember, more confused i am… Maybe we should forget our brain and let our body lead when we dance?

On another spot, we have the cross-over of chinese 2-string (二胡), guitar and drum, an old women sings some chinese folk songs… Anyone want to sing can just join in the chorus… Strange is that most music performers are old people, while young peole are by-standers, shy ones, only other old and mainland audience dare to join the show spontaneously…

In another performing circle, a wizard dance with a tribal singer! again both are elderly people…ohoh… How strange is this city — old people are far crazier and more fun-loving than young ones!!??
