Wed night at Happy Valley racetrack

Video of track and crowd on a Wednesday night in Hong Kong was an eye opener for me. It was an Intl Jockeys Club championship. Pitcher of beer for $1.69, not sure about what that is USD.

Only $1.69 HKD? That's $0.22 USD.

Might have to go there just for the drinks...

I have been there. As a racing facility, I liked Sha Tin better, but Happy Valley is a unique facility and the streetcar ride to the track is spectacular.

I am sure that the pitcher is $169 HK which would be $21 US, items are not cheap over there.
