News stands like these are all over Hong Kong, in fact, they are one of HK's signature items (IMO).

One of the crazy things about it, they are almost all 'portable', meaning the set them up and take them down every day! It seems like alot of work to me, but they must make some money at it or they wouldn't bother!

Exposure: 0.004 sec (1/250)
Aperture: f/5.6

It's not really a signature item [imo] as almost all major Chinese [and I assume Asian] cities have them. But they are neat and very handy. Nice capture.
