Expats are called Foreign Devils by Chinese people in Hong Kong. A man is a gweilo, a woman a gweipor. The city has attracted hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world because of the lifestyle they enjoy in the City of Light. During the more than 20 years I worked there, I came across some characters that rivalled the ones Alice met in her wonderland in the tale by Lewis Carroll. One pal of mine kept a python as a pet, another hired a bodyguard called Shotgun Billy Smith to keep him out of trouble at his drinking hole in Wan Chai. Life is never boring in Hong Kong.
