HK: Rugby 7

rugby 7

Hong Kong - Unknown to me, and probably all North Americans, the last weekend of March every year is home to something call the ‘Hong Kong Sevens’. Its basically the World Cup of Rugby. This ‘rugby’ sport is huge in strange and foreign places such as Australia, England and like New Zealand. Anyways, for this weekend, thousands and thousands of people flock to Hong Kong (mostly white people) and they pretty much just party the entire weekend. I went to the place called Lan Gwai Fok (the place where english speaking people hang out usually) on Saturday night and holy craaaaaaaaaap. I have never seen such a crowd before. Someone said it was a cross between a sci fi convention and a sports party and its totally true. So many people were dressed up - cops, angels, bees, dwarfs, cowboys, ambigiously gay duos.. pretty much everything. I am pleased to know that even Hong Kong people know how to give drunken whities a good time - a solid blast of Bon Jovi, Guns and Roses, Queen etc. Anyways, heres a video I took of the event. Its hard to describe how many people were in this two - four block area. Its a shame that I didnt have my nice camera with me at the time, but its probably a blessing too since it probably would have gotten ruined.
