There are bars and bar girls on every corner, big dance halls, and at Typhoon Shelter, prostitutes perched on the deck of sampans call their wares to passing sailors along the quay. But Hong Kong night life is hardly wild in the old Shanghai tradition and barely compares with that of present-day Tokyo or Manila...
