I went to visit my daughter while she lived in Hong Kong, and one day we
went around, I think it was to the Stanley Market.

Anyhow, off to one side there were fruit and vegetable vendors, and they
had some of the most beautiful strawberries I've ever seen.

I made a note that I would stop back by the stand before we left the market
and take some back to my daughter's apartment.

As these markets go, I found myself meandering on the next aisle, and I
could see the back side of the fruit vendors booth.

Stacked high were the flats the luscious red giants had traveled to Hong
Kong in, marked "Driscoll California Strawberries"!
