You can spit all over the pavements and nobody will bat an eyelid.
Do a huge fart and everyone will look at you as if you have just killed a child.
Yes , this happened to me.

Did you fart on the child?

I threw up on the Big Budda.

Threw up? I bloody struggled to get anything down.I lost nearly a stone.

yep, that great street food somebody mentioned earlier. Mrs Stan made me climb all those bloody steps and just I was coming out of the museum at the top it happed...I managed to catch most in my hat. Worse was getting back to the hotel, she insisted on a tram ride and I just managed to stop myself hurling over the waiting passengers from the top deck. Nearly got back to the hotel but just couldn't make it, hurled again over the side of somebody's nice clean bus.

Just head down to the central one night, that's where all the best atmosphere is. Also loads of places to eat and drink there competing against each other so if you go down a side street or something you will probably find places at a resonablish price. And if you're feeling homesick there's always a place to grab a Boddies.

You could also go to the racecourse, that is apparantly fun, was going to go but got pushed off the train by an Austrailian alcoholic who decided to tell me all about the time she tried to commit suicide...fun times.

Happy Valley is brilliant, especially if you go in the Chinese sections, cheap beer and a good race night

Unfortunately it doesn't operate from late July to early September

Off there in August. Anybody give me a point in the right direction

Head in a south easterly direction for about 6,000 miles

I've always wanted to go but the missus has never been keen - I think because of the food.

What's it like for veggies?! I'm assuming it's not ideal...

 

[smeghead64]

food is cheep and if you cant do with out it there is macdonnalds.....my only tip is ..make sure you go up the hill at late in the day so that you get both views in the sun and in the dark....dont get food up there as it is very expensive.

Not sure what it's like for Veggies but when I used to work over there I was amazed at what the Chinese ate, some of the Chinese lads used to say if it had a face and a pulse they would eat it!

Hmm the delights of Chicken feet, and once in a street in Kowloon I watched in awe as a street vendor took freshwater turtles out of a plastic sack and dropped them into a copper boiler thing, they where selling like hot cakes (or hot turtles)

They are a little crunchy though

Had snake in aspic once, only got told what it was after I'd eaten it

It'll be really really hot (but everywhere has air-con), then it'll chuck it down.
