I don't know why Asian horse jockeys

surprised me, but they did. Went to the last horse races of the season last evening at Happy Valley Racetrack. It was an experience...screaming expats in work attire, old Chinese men with full pitchers of San Miguel, and a huge racecourse with a backdrop of skyscrapers. I didn't bet, but my roommate won 150 HKD. Beginner's luck, we were told.
