Statue Square is the large, open area linking the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank with the Cenotaph on Chater Road. This pretty area is today filled with fountains and seats and on Sundays, it is usually bursting with Phillipino maids who gather here on their day off. These young women and girls are usually working in Hong Kong illegally and have families and children of their own to support at home. They meet up all over the city on Sundays and the numbers and noise are quite phenomenal. The base of the HKSB is another popular meeting spot
