Phones in HK
Yes, a lot of mainlanders buy phones in HK as they are cheaper... U have to be careful which one you buy though as some HK models can't send text in simplified Chinese.

To merpb: Thanks, lenses and photo oportunities.
Thanks for the the comments. I'm suprised how useful the 50mm lens is - I originally got it for low light, but I've found if you just leave it on, good photos like this one just seem to find you.

Uh, ok, I understand the black shadow now. However for me the shadow is still a distraction - it looks like a 'clean' photo, except for the shadow which looks a bit out of place for me. Don't get me...
