Be Prepared - Asleep in Hong Kong #3

Project 365 #152 30/05/07

This guy comes well equipped for his lunchtime nap. I notice him every day as I cross the flyover to the small restaurant I frequent and he is in fact one of the key inspirations for starting this project. Maybe one day I will wake him up and thank him. He's not homeless or anything, his (pretty nice) suit is hanging from the rafters on a coat hanger.

Asleep in Hong Kong

It could be the heat, the hectic work schedule or the energy sapping humidity, but the residents of Hong Kong are the world champions of sleeping just about anywhere. Public transport, overpasses, restaurants, park benches and even crowded markets are all fair game. The mentality is simple: When you need a nap, take one. wherever you may be.
