Life is pants

Friday 23 March
Finally some time off to play. I met up with an old friend who came over from Singapore.
I first met Ella while doing star jumps in a fitness class at the gym in the City of London. She moved to HK with her then boyfriend, they broke up and she wrote Life is Pants. We spent the evening having a typical 'chick' conversation in the spirit of her book. A fellow entrepaneur she set up an Asian version of Anne Summers www.oohtique.com

We hit the bar zone aka LKF (Lan Kwai Fong). Many of the bars had a really seedy atmosphere with pissed up ex-pats feeling up scantily clad Asian women young enough to be their daughters.
Thankfully the HK pioneers found a great bar in the LKF hotel, with a 5 star interior but prices to match.
In the early hours we hit the clubs which can often be found inside office buildings. We ended up at Club No 9. The dance area is circular and at the very top of a 30+ floor building with a V-DJ plying mainly MTV hits.
It took a while for the crowd to warm up, it seems that HK-ers are self conscious about dancing.
