Fair

After we watched Toy Story 3, Vivian and I brought Euterpe to buy her new school uniform.

It was a shop at Wan Chai. As soon as we got out of the MTR train, we were met with a sea of people hurrying to the Book Fair.

Oh, no. Most people are not interested in reading – or young models either. Some would go to the Fair for the sake of the Fair per se. It is a popular event; it seems trendy to join the crowd and be there – as the old English saying, to see and to be seen.

But, more commonly, people go there to buy books.

Alas, there is a fine line of difference between buying books and reading.

PS. I missed the Book Fair for seven or eight years. The last time I was there I bought Sophie’s World.

It’s a good book, but you could buy it any time at any book store, without the need to line up to pay.
