June 4th: Remembering Tian'an Men Square






Work was pretty lame today.  Everyone had a case of the Mondays and things got off to a rough start.  We made up for it after work by getting some delicious vegetarian dim sum at the tea house that Christopher works and heading over to a massive demonstration at Victoria Park in remembrance of the Tian'an Men Square Massacre of 1989.  There were thousands of people gathered with candles and speakers and performances (all in Cantonese).  I was chilling and moving and impressive.  It was yet another reminder of the growing tension between Hong Kongers and Mainland Chinese.
