Hong Kong is always cool, although the old Hong Kong I used to hang out in is long gone. A mere 20 years ago you could still stroll through the Walled City (and possibly come back alive). You could go to Wanchai where they filmed "The World of Suzy Wong" and still see back alley hookers, and the harbor was full of stateless boat people.

Today, it looks like any city in the world. Could be in London or in New York if it wasn't for all the Chinese. Everybody speaks English now and restuarants serve American food.

Be sure and check out a movie theater if you have time. They play western movies with Chinese subtitles, and you buy reserved seats.

But most of all, the place has been ruined by the fucking mainland Chinese. I liked it better when you had to brush your teeth in gin to be safe...
