Hong Kong, Day 3





Oh I am so tired.

Today was a day for gift-buying and culture-absorbing. I went to the heritage museum. The first picture you see is shoes worn by women in the Cantonese Opera. They're stilt shoes and they're supposed to emulate the foot binding that used to go on here. I saw a picture of how these shoes are put on, and there doesn't seem to be much difference between these stilt shoes and actual foot binding.
