A great soho bar in Hong Kong that is just enough off of the beaten path of the escalator and hollywood road, but not too far away that you can't get to Lan Kwai Fong in five minutes.
The staff friendly, the nights funky, the drinks cheap, and the atmosphere a little different than most of the surrounding bars/restaurants.
13 Old Bailey Street, Soho, Hong Kong.

The locals really go to town on horse racing. Races are at Sha Tin or Happy Valley, the tourist board runs a night trip to the latter if you don't fancy heading off alone. The staff are happy to show you how to place a bet (the tickets are pretty complex) and take you ringside to get close to the action. Great fun.

Soccer betting is a very popular and legal activity in Hong Kong.
There is horse racing at Happy Valley on Wednesday evening and at Shatin on Sunday afternoon.
Happy Valley is on Hong Kong island; Shatin is in the New Territories
