HK Scam

You get accosted here by everybody, mostly trying to sell you something.
Glance in a shop in Nathan Road and they will assume you want something and invite you in. Stop and they come and talk to you about what you want.

There are indians and pakistanies trying to sell you copy watches or suit's.
They will continue with you for about 10 seconds. Grates a little after the first 3 do it to you.

Look a little lost in a side street and one of the buggers will cross the street asking what's your looking for, maybe a tailor? We are very good.....

Biggest thing of all from yesterday....... we got Holiday scammed......

Scotish lass, asked us if we speak english and would we take part in thei promotion thinggy.
Ok, ask you a bunch of questions, age, married etc.
Give you a scratchy. Bea wins a t shirt, I get 3 stars, lass goes that's new, wonder what that means. Wayne (her boss) does the "Your our start prize winner..... there are 6 prizes. You've won one of them, the cruise, video camera and something else have already gone, but the money holiday, and laptop are still there." (Personally I'm already thinking erm think this is a waste of time, Bea's hooked )..... bit more said..... taxi to this office down south somewhere on the HK Gold Coast. 90 minute tour.

Get back to the office, scratch the little prize part on the ticket, you've won the holiday...... now there's a surprise.

Personally I think they swapped the card on me. If I had scratched the panel before we got there it would have been the laptop or money. Only reason I think this is that Karen (Scottish lass) had put her name on the front of my card. The one I had ended up with her name on the back. Would I swear to this in court No. Would I do this again NO.

Getting back was interesting. They give you free transfer tickets back, using a hotel transit service...... great escept that it's full. Except they let 4 other people on who were not in the queue.
Taxi to nearest metro station, cost about $12. As Bea said we got to see some parts of HK we would not have normally seen.
