Walking condom and Typhoon 8: Some things they don’t mention about Hk in travel guides

As I was walking by one of the busiest streets in HK, I noticed a human sized condom in the corner of my eye!  Talk about a really bad summer job, this poor guy had to put on this crazy outfit (questionable white spandex blend) in 30+ degree Celsius heat and on top of that, mean people like myself were taking his picture!

Notice how he’s almost suffocating from trying to cover his face as much as possible?

Typhoon 8 signals were hoisted and in full force in HK and for the first time, I noticed that they put tape on the windows of the shops in case of shattered glass.

Yup, they do the tape thing here in North Carolina, too, when a hurricane is coming. If you take a direct hit by a category 4 or 5 hurricane, you're going to lose your roof, so a little tape won't matter, though. Actually, I have always wondered if it helps to tape windows. Thankfully, I live 150 mile inland from the coast and the only hurricane that came through here, which was 10 years ago, didn't break any windows, it just knocked down millions of trees (hence knocking out power and blocking the roads) and paralyzed the entire region for over a week. Since Hong Kong doesn't have any trees, I guess you guys will be alright.
