Sunday visiting families in subway/trainstation

On recent trip, on a Sunday we noticed the subway/train stations filled with families gathered with cardboard boxes and seemingly visiting one another.



Does anyone know anything about this? We are just curious.

These are Foreign Domestic Workers and has been a lengthy previous thread here;

In general, the Filipino domestic helpers hang out around Central; Indonesians gather at Victoria Park at Causeway Bay; and I heard Thai go to Kowloon City, which has a high concentration of Thai restaurants. On holidays, they bring cardboard boxes as something to sit on.




But I doubt that they can set up their cardboard shelters and sit around inside the stations, without being chased away by railroad employees. Did you see them outside station entrances?
