Hong Kong

In Hong Kong, Zane searches for the power, courage and skill required to survive in the bustling nightlife of the city. During his training, Zane is prescribed booze by a doctor, learns how to fight like a drunken monkey and discovers what angels drink. All this preparation prepares him for his night out in Hong Kong as his meddle is tested when he visits a skyscraper with a bar on every floor. All this and something called fire-cupping, when Zane goes Three Sheets to Hong Kong.     

Hong Kong is one entertaining city with a wide variety of after-dark diversions. A constantly changing city, it was once controlled by the Brits and now under Chinese rule. Its main attractions lie in Kowloon, which juts from the tip of southern China, and on Hong Kong Island, with its Central downtown district. From upscale pursuits like opera and theatre to a drinking scene that includes dive bars and the national obsession, numerous ear-shattering karaoke joints, Hong Kong is one great place to party. In fact, it has been called the “most thrilling city on the planet.”
