I guess I never really

thought about it that way.

Yeah.

It just kind of ironic,

that my, like,

grandparents worked

so hard

to give us a better life

in the states,

and yet here we are.

We're all just flocking

back to Asia.

It's like most

of my friends here.

The far east movement.

This is really pretty.

Yeah, so these are like,

the last four remaining

gas lamps in the city.

-Oh, cool.

-Mm-hmm.

This is the first

Starbucks in Hong Kong.

Try that. Ready?

Let's try.

Do you guys want me

to take a photo for you?

Yeah, that'd be so great,

thanks so much.

Yeah, no worries.

Okay.

Cheese.

-There you go.

-Thanks again.

Did you want a photo?

-Um-- no, we just met--

-yeah, let's get a photo!

-Come on.

It'll be fun.

-Sure. Thank you.

Right by the gas lamps.

Thanks.

-Say cheese.

-Cheese.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-All right,

have a good night.

-Thank you.

-Bye.

-Bye.

Bye.

It's pretty cute.

Yeah. It's not bad.

-I mean, I look good.

-I was just gonna say,

you messed up the shot.

I messed up

the shot?

-See that?

-Yeah.

That's my office

right there.

Oh. You work inside

the bank of China building?

No, no.

This is the h.S.B.C.

Building.

That right there,

that's the bank of China

building.

-Oh.

-Please let me buy

you a guidebook.

It almost makes it worth

being a banker.

All those lights on

in the offices,

it's 11:
00

on a Friday night.

Those are all

people working.

It's not as glamorous

as it looks.

Guess not.

So how long have you

been in finance for?

Basically the entire time

that I've lived here.

-That's a long time.

-Uh, yeah.

Do you not like it

very much?

Well, it's all fun and games

until someone

triggers

a global recession.

Oh, look at that.

They're so cute.

- Should we photobomb?

- -Yeah, let's do it.

Cheese!

Not to be confused

with dragon's back,

which is a hike.

-Okay.

-I should write

a tour guide book.

Yeah, you should.

You're very knowledgeable.

And this is LAN kwai fong,

right across the street.

-Oh, wow.

-Yeah.

I'm really surprised

you got me here

in one piece

-oh, you're surprised?

-Yeah.

Oh, god.

I'm sorry, I'm not--

it's all right.

Whoo.

I'm not used to people

driving on the wrong

side of the road.

Well, here it's

the right side.

Come on.

-Wow, you saved me.

-I saved your life.

-Thank you.

-Yeah. You owe me.

-This is crazy.

-Yeah it's pretty much

like this every night.

So, which bar

are your friends at?

Uh, club 97.

-Really?

-Yeah.

Oh god. That's like,

that's right around here.

Oh, god.

Yeah.

Now I remember

why I never come here.

A little insane,

i know.

And, um,

all right,

you see that--

that neon sign,
