Out our window.
Right this moment!
It's been going on all afternoon, this harangued anger, right outside our window.
Early this afternoon!
It's the 8th Anniversary of the day nearly half a million of us took to the streets to protest the introduction of Article 23 becoming law, and has evolved into an annual Democracy Demand March Day ...
Democracy Marchers!
... which has also evolved a "We Love Beijing" counter-protest ...
The Opposition!
... and it's this latter one I'm sure that's going on below us right now; the "Don't you DARE Dis Beijing!" soap-boxing!
Hours and hours of angry shouts of "Ding dong, boss ay eh!" "Pig and choice!" "Ah eh day-do!" "Jump mus a hossiar." "Sum down, sexy!" "Gum, gum, gum. Sexy!" "Onion! Onion! Onion!"
Mmmm, yes, it's been a long long day indeed!
And it looks like it's going to also be a long, long night!

How exciting for you! (Droll tongue-in-cheek sarcasm BTW.)
Hong Kong really ought to have been kept British. Or at least independent a la Singapore.
I like reading history, but I don't want to live it.
Buy some earplugs. And set the radio on to static and turn it up to drown out the noise. Settle down with a good book; I'm reading 1491 and would recommend it.
Just a thought.

1491 was even sillier than the first one!
You're thinking of the 1421-The Year The Chinese....
This is - was - 1491-New Revelations Of The Americas Before Columbus. (Not a Chino in sight.)
You might also consider The Zuni Enigma.
Just a thought.
