On our last night in Hong Kong, Magi treated us to dinner and then showed us around the Central District - Hong Kong's party destination.
Halloween - like in NYC - is big here. To my pleasant surprise, Hong Kongers - well, the ones in the District anyway - are hard core about partying. I really like the "work hard, play hard" attitude here; apparently, according to Magi and a few other friends who've said the same thing, many Hong Kongers work long hours and Saturdays and still find the time to "enjoy life." That's a great attitude to have.
The main party street was closed and people packed the bars and poured into the streets; many in some of the most imaginative Halloween costumes I've seen.
We had a few drinks - and it was cool being able to drink on the street, unlike in Toronto. Even 7/11 sells alcohol!
While we only got three hours of sleep before leaving for the airport, the night was a perfect way to end our stay in Hong Kong. Thanks for being such a great host, Magi!
