Ok, so I'm going to Hong Kong in a week...

Don't forget to go to Macau and Shenzen(Shenzen has a Walmart warehouse by the way). I heard that you can buy dog in Shenzen to eat if you know where to go find it...

Does anyone on here live there, or has anyone who has ever been there have any tips or know of any good places to see?

i was born and rasied there..lived there for 14 years

(no piracy/drugs/hookers/etc.).

You have excluded most things that would have been on my things to do while in Hong Kong list

So I Cant help, but maybe getting cheap Digi Cam might not be a bad idea.
