Between bouts of shopping, visitors wander amid the outlandish statuary of the Tiger Balm Garden or prowl the stairway streets above Queen's Road and look into the thieves' market of Cat Street, where Chinese antiques from the mainland are sold at bargain prices because they cannot be brought into the U.S., which still maintains a total embargo on all goods from Red China...

But Cousteau readily concedes that sharks can be unpredictable; one once nipped Art Pinder's stern black and blue. The safest place when sharks prowl by is under water; as scavengers, they are used to snapping up anything floating on the surface...
