Our trip is coming to an end. Last 3 days were spent in Hong Kong.
3 days is not much in a place that has so much to offer, but we managed to see some of the must-visit places, like the harbour and the peak.
There is a spectacular laser show every night in the harbour, one that everyone visiting HK should see.
When you do, please tell me how it was. We had planned to go and see it but plans were quickly changed when the Happy Hours -column of local newspapers' Entertainment section revealed a 3-hr all-you-can-drink special in a very pleasant English-y pub in a shopping mall close to our hotel.
The waiter of the pub had to be lured into admitting they really did have this kind of liver-punishing promotion. But once the sweet-talking was done, they really lived up to their promise, and kept the vodka, whisky, gin, beer and quality wine flowing freely. All this for a mere 200 HK$, less than 20 €. That is not bad for a place where a decent glass of wine rarely sells for under 60 HK$.
So the Grande Finale Party started off pretty well. The festivities grew pretty loud, as the other patrons consisted of a party of 15 locals, celebrating one girl's birthday. She was treated a very special gift, a Finnish version of Happy Birthday, performed by a trio of Distinguished Finnish Gentlemen, the third being a local resident, Ville M. (who by coincidence possessed a vip card of the pub). Hopefully no recordings of the act survived.
Fortunately we were not the only musical act in the establishment. The real music was provided by a pianist and a very talented (and very attractive) Filipino singer, Victoria.
Later we visited some more bars (and got Victoria to join us). Of these there is not much recollection, except that we were more than once taken for attendees in some toy convention of trade fair.
