One of the more unusual sites I've come across here is the descent of Filippino and Indonesian domestic helpers into Central on a Sunday... it is very common here for households to employ foreign domestic help, and Sunday is usually their only day off. They group together and basically set up camp around Statue Square and the HSBC building, bringing food, games etc to keep them occupied during the day. A couple of the main roads through Central are actually closed down to accommodate them!
