Great news! I found the indie scene! I was very worried about music life in Hong Kong as most of my students only seem to like pop music. Thankfully, my misconceptions were shattered this past Saturday evening. After a lovely trip to Victoria Peak with Becci, I was at a loss for what to do the rest of the night. Becci and I didn’t want to go to Wan Chai (a popular night-life area) because it is too western and every night spent there is exactly like the last. They always play the same club songs and there are almost no local people….plus the clubs are packed like a sardine tin. So instead of making the standard night out plans Becci and I decided to try something different…ghasp! We were wandering around an area called SoHo when the people we were with spotted a flyer that said INDIE PARTY on it. How fortuitous! Into a taxi we went and we were off to an excellent night. There wasn’t a cover charge, the DJ played exellent music, there were local people, there was room to dance, and we even got invited to another indie night at a different venue. PS taxis are wonderful here and cost about $1 US for a ten minute trip when split between four people. :D
