Sounds from Austria...

Recently, as I was walking into the Sha Tin mall from the train station, I heard music which sounded suspiciously close to "The Sounds of Music." Sure enough, at the center of the mall where free performances are often held, were these kids dressed in traditional Austrian costumes performing to various recorded tunes of the famous movie. And since the mall has several levels that look down on the stage area, the performance had a sizeable audience of weekend shoppers.
