GREAT HONG KONG<br />
TOURIST<br />
IDEAS<br />
Still want to scratch<br />
that tourist itch? Here are<br />
10 more great ideas for<br />
a tourist-tastic time.<br />
1. Queue for ages to ride the<br />
Peak Tram up to the Peak,<br />
because the queue is the<br />
REAL experience.<br />
2. Explore “The Dark Side,”<br />
land of terrifying legends<br />
and great Indian food.<br />
3. Spend a whole weekend<br />
pretending not to speak<br />
English or Cantonese, to get<br />
a feel for what it’s like to be a<br />
real tourist overseas.<br />
4. Go to Chanel and LV on<br />
Canton Road and buy all the<br />
expensive bags. Sheepishly<br />
try to return them the next day.<br />
5. Walk into a cha chaan teng,<br />
point at everything on the<br />
menu, get hounded out for<br />
wasting the server’s time.<br />
6. Go to Lan Kwai Fong, party<br />
like you’ve only got one<br />
night in Hong Kong, make<br />
bad decisions, wake up the<br />
next morning and realize that<br />
you actually live here and<br />
you shouldn’t have alienated<br />
everyone you met.<br />
7. Ride the Star Ferry, do<br />
the “I’m the King of the<br />
World!” thing.<br />
8. Call the tram the “ding ding,”<br />
like only tourists do.<br />
9. Take a bottle of wine, a<br />
sleeping bag and a change<br />
of clothes with you to the<br />
office on Friday night.<br />
Pretend you’re working late,<br />
and then just bunk up for<br />
the next two nights in airconditioned<br />
luxury. Raid the<br />
office fridge for leftovers.<br />
Best of all, you’ll be early to<br />
work on Monday morning.<br />
10. Stay in your flat all weekend.<br />
Who has money for a holiday?<br />
