One Country, Two Systems: Images From Hong Kong

They say that Bangladesh has the highest population density on Earth, but it probably doesn't get the tourist influx during the holidays that Hong Kong does. Hong Kong isn't even a country or a city-state anymore; I don't know what it is. It was very very dense and very very fun. In certain busier parts of Kowloon police would barricade crosswalks with long ropes, then open the floodgates when the lights turned green and let the mass of humanity spill into the street. It looked like the start of a marathon, repeated every few minutes.
