Kam Sheung Road

As I was walking around the Station area mentioned in the previous post, I came across a brush fire. A few villagers were a bit freaked, the rest went about their business as if it happened everyday. The dogs barked at the evacuation helicopter. Some kids rode their bikes around furiously. I watched the fire smolder for a while and went home. Apparently the fire made the TV news. Brush fires are common on hillsides in Hong Kong, because people burning offerings for ancestors buried in little hillside graves might lose control of their burning incense, or paper money ash might go flying everywhere.
