Wednesday Means The Races

So for the past couple of Wednesdays, I've been going to the horse races in WanChai. So many people in HK gather here to see about 12 races and gamble. I can't say my gambling skills have improved at all since I've been here but it's always been a blast. Hundreds of thousands of people show up for the races here - horse racing is like a religion. There are also great races on Sundays at Happy Valley. 

The HK Jockey Club runs many promotions at its races. February was based a fashion promotion titled: Race In The City. They would have themes (Bling, Animal Print, Prince & Princess) and you could get your picture taken and receive free drinks. It's a lot of fun, and a perfect (and cheap) pre-game before the usual Wednesday night craziness in Wan Chai.
