Hong Kong

Welcome. I'll have some of my experiences recorded here and maybe people at home will be able to get a better picture of life here in Hong Kong and my reactions to it.

Gambling Addiction

I've not learned a lot about Chinese culture, but there are a few things that I am certain that the Chinese love. They are: the color red, fireworks, and betting on card games.

The photo to the right was taken at the German-Swiss International School winter bazaar...an annual fundraiser that brought out hundreds of people. Even at this function, the affinity for gambling is expressed in a fundraiser casino. I pulled up to the table with 20 HKD and had to fold pre-flop on the first hand. Next hand, I went all in and the 10 year old with glasses beat my two pair on the kicker. As my friend Lyon said, "it's amazing how sophisticated kids are these days." He bought in for 70 HKD.
