2nd field study

Location: Tin Shui Estate Park
Date:26 January, 2008
Time: 1400-1800

Observation:
It was the second times that I visited this park. The weather was cold and the park was still very quite, only a few people used the park in this specific period of time. The one who used this park was the teenagers, 3 young girls, they just seat on the sit of the park and talked for half an hour and then left the park. Later on, a young lovers, they are secondary student as they are wearing school uniform, they were having argument, they stood in the corner for about 10 minutes.
