1/7/15 Mr. Wong's and Wan Chai

Mr. Wong is somewhat of a legend amongst the exchange kids at CUHK. He owns a restaurant in busy Mong Kok, and has a special deal that's apparently available only to foreign students. $60HKD for all-you-can-eat-and-drink? Yes please!

To get to this Magical Place of Food and Beer, you have to enter into Mr. Wong's real restaurant, walk past all the actual patrons and into this open-air alley area that's got a really long picnic table and a styrofoam cooler full of beer. We clearly weren't paying for ambiance but that's really half the fun of it.

I headed out with maybe 20-30 people which we thought was a good sized group, only to find another 20-30 people already waiting for us upon arrival. Then 10 minutes after we arrived ANOTHER group of 20-30 people showed up. Within 2 hours, at least 100 exchange students from CUHK had arrived at Mr. Wong's and the back of his restaurant was so packed that he actually shooed away his real-people customers to make room for everybody to sit down! The beer just kept on coming, and who are a bunch of university kids to say no?

Here are a bunch of pictures from the night. Everyone was super packed in, but we're quickly turning into a big family here at CUHK so nobody minded :)

I sat at the middle-ish of this looooong table, here are all my friends sitting to the left of me.

Everybody to the right of me. The table didn't end though, it curved over to the left as well to seat another ~15 people! Everybody in the background? All CUHK exchange kids too. 

Beer and food, mid-dinner.

Trusted only the best with safeguarding our bottomless beer. Drinking on the job was thoroughly encouraged. 

Eventually, everyone's consensus was to head further downtown in search of some nightlife, and so we all mobilized to Wan Chai. It was "Ladies Night" in that particular club district which means that girls got free cover AND free drinks at some bars! Took a few fun pictures here as well, though you'll never see me in a club district again with a clunky camera. No sir.

Who needs a selfie stick when your friend's arm is longer anyway? 

Definitely the best Wednesday night in a very long time. Everybody wave to David there in the back!

Today's Little Thing, Happy Thing: King's Beer. It's probably the Busch Beer of the San Miguel family, and it's not the tastiest thing I've had in the world, but it was a good time and the can it such a brilliant blue colour. No complaints from me!
