I'm in HK this week. I'm working out of the HK office for a change. No reason except that I thought I'd check out the town since there is opportunity to move to HK w/ my job, and right now its an option, but oneday it may be a request, and then a demand. So I should know what I'm getting into.
I went to Macau again. I tell ya that is an awesome place. It has all the vices that would destroy a regular guy like me. Anyways I gambled at the new MGM, where I lost my initial $1k bankroll (1/2 bj 1/2 craps). Then I walked to Wynn (next door!) and with a new modest $400 bankroll I took the BJ table down for $1500 (net +$1100). Then I went to craps and padded my winnings with another $200 (so total trip net +$300). Yep I rocked Wynn. I wonder if I should ever go back to MGM, historically I haven't won much there.
Otherwise my impression of HK is that.. its an okay place. I am not certain its for me. I fear its too small a place, esp after hanging in the "zone" (Lan Kwai Fung) and seeing how damn crowded the main expat bar district is. Not having sufficient language skills kinda annoys me. Heat not as bad as I thought, maybe I'm used to it now after going thru TOKYO summer.
BTW I went to get a new suit made. $450 dude not cheap, we'll see how it comes out. I've gone to this guy for shirts, pants, etc. Reasonable quality.
