During
our trip to Hong Kong we discovered a very interesting group of people in the
Aberdeen harbour. Tankas, or boat people, are
essentially fisherfolk living on junks and boats. According to superstition,
Tankas believe that a giant wave will sweep them away if they were to live on
the shore. However, the population of boat people is steadily declining due to
pollution and the encroaching shoreline as land is reclaimed.
