3/ The best example I can think of is this one. One night I was wandering through the Chungking Mansions. It was probably a Saturday night, and I didn't have any plans but to have a few conversations if they surfaced. The Chungking Mansions, for those of you who don't know (or haven't caught glimpses of it in the Wong Kar Wai film Chungking Express and perhaps picked up some misapprehensions that way) is a dense intercultural thicket in the Tsim Sha Tsui neighborhood of Kowloon, in HK.
