It is 7:44 in the morning, exactly one week before Christmas and there is a line of persons on Robb Street; their faces appear pensive. No, they are not standing in front of a bank or any other of the ‘important places’ like an embassy. They are standing in front of the popular store China Trading.
“Eh, eh like this is a Food for the Poor line,” a passerby joked as she passed the persons standing in front of the store; its front door was open halfway for the employees who were still trickling in.
“I just want come early and beat out because I don’t able with this line when the day come,” one woman was overheard saying to another.
