I didn't see the program, but it's true that the domestic servants sit & have picnics in the central district. I doubt they're thrown out until monday morning - the streets clear up by the evening.
Just remember that its not just the domestic staff that work 6 days a week, 12 hours a day (in HK that is). When I worked there its all the office staff too - they are all nuts.
I think the taxi drivers have a much worse lot. A london taxi driver probably earns 40-50k a year, in HK there are millions of them! all queuing up for a fare of around 1/10th a london fare (i.e. so maybe earning 4-5k).
HK is NOT the place to go looking to make money. Stay in the fil & export mangos & pineapples!
