hong kong: more than beer and tv
I was sitting alone at the bar of an Irish pub in Hong Kong sipping a pint of Tetley’s Bitter. I borrowed a pen and starting scribbling on the back of my bar tab: “taller, tighter, more tits, less bikes.” Those were the words I started with. Profound, I know. But I also know that I’m not the first person to write such slop after a few pints of bitter. (Enter Ethan Hawke joke here.)
I hate when people visit a new city and immediately try to define it, but after my fourth pint that’s exactly what I did. Hong Kong is like New York City, I wrote, only with more hills … and more Asians. Brilliant.
