As dusk falls, crowds gather on the promenade by the Star Ferry pier at Tsimshatsui on the tip of the Kowloon peninsula. There are refined old German couples arm on arm, young Indian women with their plump bellies peeping out from their silk saris, and many local students playing guitars and singing loudly in Cantonese, Mandarin and English.
薄暮時分，九龍尖沙咀碼頭的港灣長廊上，人潮陸續聚集，有優雅的、彼此攙扶著的德國老夫婦；有披著紗龍、長絲巾下任憑豐滿腰肚裸露的印度少婦，還有許多帶著吉他、大聲唱著粵語、國語、英語歌曲的本地學生們。
