We are 'curious' about their happenings and we really do not know what the happening is.

It is in fact a stall (Stall A)
selling secondhand stuffs, like pots and pans, audio equipment,
electrical appliances, clocks and etc.

This does have a great impact on
me and we have to sign with regret when we are in this stall. We do not
expect old stuffs (there is no guarantee that they must work and be
functioning) will also be welcome by the locals. In Shum Shui Po, we can
see the living of some general public from another angle. FYI, Shum
Shui Po is a district where the people earn the lowest average income in
Hong Kong.

At another stall (Stall B),
there is similar phenomenon. The locals are eagerly looking for their
expected stuffs in mind, before the stuffs are unloaded from the
trolley.

The secondhand stuffs include
pots, electrical appliances, shoes, tennis rackets, light bulbs,
tablewares, kitchenwares and ... .

And clothings, compact discs, toys, books, bags, ... .

At Stall C, all secondhand
stuffs are displayed on the floor and under large sun umbrellas. The
locals look around for a while and may have discussions about the
property of their interested with the lady seller. Apliu Street Flea
Market is a place to tell you more about Hong Kong. Some foreign
visitors said they prefer Apliu Street in Shum Shui Po to Temple Street
in Jordan.
