There was this old decrepit lady in Yau Ma Tei wet market who sells the freshest of green produce. Just by looking at her, You would think that she's been around since the Manchu Qing dynasty. Her severely crooked back renders her the look of a hunchback pre-adoslescent oompah loompah (about 4'8). She was perenially looking down at her wares that I think she would be needing neckrings on hydraulics to prop her head up. But never underestimate her, she can tie bunches of vegetables before you can even say "oh my goolay!" She's so limber I was always half expecting her to do triple cartwheel and then painfully split along the narrow market aisle. I once brought my american friend to the wet market and pointed him the lady I so admire. We couldnt get a better view of her coz she was always surrounded by people who either wanted to buy her produce or just plain curious to see this hardy and highly industrious lady who has withstood the test of a lower class chinese life. When my friend caught a sight of her, He said, "Dadge, Why is she not dead yet?
Perhaps its the tea dude.
