  The air is hot and heavy, like wearing a towel in a steam room but I’m only wearing demin cut-off shorts, a bleach white polo shirt and gray rubber flip-flops--a real American tourist, ponytail and a Yankees baseball cap, aviator sunglasses Wholesale Fake Oakleys, wrinkled city map in tow. Leaving the refrigerated air of the hotel lobby and stepping out onto the sweat-drenched streets makes me pause for a moment--my instincts tell me to go back into the comfort of my hotel room, to the crisp, cool sheets and ice cold water bottles waiting for me in the mini-bar but I tell myself that I didn’t come all the way to Hong Kong to be culturally immersed in a Western hotel so I join the sticky-skinned, sun-squinting pedestrians on the crowded sidewalk, just another person making their way around town.
  The Ladies’ Market is said to be one of the best places to bargain shop in Hong Kong. Located in the Mong Kok district of the Kowloon peninsula, its central location in the urban area makes for a shopping haven for both locals and tourists alike. It’s not one of the air-conditioned megalithic malls that people cram into at all times of the day and it’s not even indoors for that matter. The Ladies’ Market is simply four city blocks of tented stalls that overtakes a four-block stretch of street selling ladies’ clothes, copy watches, knock-off handbags, and just about anything imaginable for a fraction of the price anywhere else. Usually factory over-runs or fake brand names, the market is the place to bargain for goods and one of those “cultural experiences” that I look for when traveling. But this is only what the brochure says--I am going to see, and experience, for myself.

The back of my polo is wet with sweat and I can feel the beads of moisture on my forehead, making my hair stick to my skin. The hotel concierge told me that I wouldn’t miss the market when I arrived and he was right. The noise of hawkers promoting massages, sellers bargaining and tourists haggling back Cheap Ray Ban Aviator Recommendations for taking g, the occasional car horn blaring to make its way through one of the adjacent streets fill the air and add to the thickness and pollution. The bright red and blue striped tents stand twenty feet tall and fill the whole street until there is only just enough room to walk between the parallel lines of stalls. The open-faced tents are filled with items, each tent specializing in a different product--on my right a tent covered with Chinese silk dresses, pajamas, purses, jade bracelets, figurines. Bright fabrics in turquoise, fuschia, jade and violet lined with gold embroidery fill the space and the owner of the stall, with her fanny pack of money, immediately walks toward me.
  

  Jackson gave a 90-minute interview to Oprah Winfrey in February 1993, his second television interview since 1979. He grimaced when speaking of his childhood abuse at the hands of his father; he believed he had missed out on much of his childhood years, admitting that he often cried from loneliness. He denied tabloid rumors that he had bought the bones of the Elephant Man, slept in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, or bleached his skin, stating for the first time that he had vitiligo. The interview was watched by an American audience of 90 million, becoming the fourth most-viewed non-sport program in U.S. history. It also increased awareness of vitiligo, a relatively unknown condition. Dangerous re-entered the album chart in the top 10, more than a year after its original release....
