A home in HK

Since the labor law in Hong Kong is not written in stones, and there is not much union interventions, Hong Kong creates groups of devoted employees who work hard. Home is not the usual place you can get hold of someone. Cell phones are the absolutely essential because that's the only way you can reach someone.

People don't eat at home, they start early at work and stay late. It's too much work to cook , not to mention wash the dishes after. Dining out is an everyday routine. People don't sleep at home. Working overtime overnight is not common. When one can get off earlier, why not get together with some friends and enjoy a wild night?

People used to have some sort of an entertainment unit sitting at home. These days, with the advancement of technology, even entertainment is mobile. With a 80GB iPod, one can carry most if not the entire of one's music collection in your pocket. All other portable devices allow you to watch a video/ movie not at the theater and not even need to be at home.

What I know is people do need to go home take a bath, get change before going back to work. Guess the only thing in a house is a bathroom and a storage for work clothes. The rest are just decorations, part of the house to show, part of the demonstration of a lifestyle.

Somehow, in most cases, it's inhuman to leave the home all empty, all alone all the time. So "fillers" are invented. Fillers like pets are popular, so do home-staying maids, and babies are good props to keep the house warm.
