  • My friend was robbed in a disco in Wan Chai. He suspect that drug was put into his drink, all he remember is that he jumped around in the dance floor, some girls around him..... then when he wake up lying in his hotel room, with broken glasses, blue marks on nose and face, credit card and cash were lost! So, be careful not to hang around alone in Wan Chai!

  • HK has stringent laws against the possession of weapons and strictly enforces this law.
    Possession of Pepper spray, Stun gun and many other similar "defence" or "weapon" is illegal (even if claimed for defence) and you could face a prison term. Even if you buy them outside of HK (say in mainland China) and try to bring them in, you are likely to get them confiscated at the Airport and border points if found, togther with a trip to the local police station meaning you could miss your flight if caught when leaving HK.
