Well done photojournalistic set.

Re #3: I'm saddened to see that (some) Hong Kong people seem to have a blatant disrespect for their community. We get the same thing in the US and it tends to disgust me.
Re #8: Obviously the woman didn't want to be photographed. I would leave that out of the set since I don't see any photojournalistic value in the image.

#5 looks like he wants his bag... lol
nice series

i heard about these bags the other day, had no idea they were "this popular".

agreed that #8 should be removed. I don't like posting pictures of people that obviously don't want to be photographed.

The world is flat

any shot of that $23 bag?

Interesting set of images. I recall some news comment made about this "bag" in that when it was sold in the UK it was not wrapped in anything - in keeping with its "green" credentials - but in China (mainland?) they had wrapped in in two layers of packaging ~ hmmmm, not so "green"

nice! yeah photojourn style. It's nice!

Almost everyone lining up for it is planning to sell it afterwards on ebay or something. Go check it out on ebay.. the other day I saw an auction for the go up to $300. so they make a profit of $277 a bag.

Nice set.

You bet... when McDonalds opened in India, on day 1, there were queues of well heeled people stretching for a mile or two... I first thought McDonalds was giving away stuff for free....

Cheers

Great set of photos that show people are pretty much the same everywhere.
