    Rugby, who has the hangovers on Sunday morning...

    Mountain Biking...locals and phillipino guys ride...western guys tend to ride on Saturday...everyone knows it's because of hangovers.

    These are just my observations...maybe I'm wrong.
    I have lived near GC. This is not your typical western demographic in HK. Most are 50+ Fat and with a younger Filipinos - I wouldn't say that;s the norm for westerners in HK

    No idea about your club

    Any Rugby club in the world would have players and people around drinking in excess it's the culture of the sport...If you had say Fencing I would have been more surprised....

    So yeah I think the issue is more where you hang out that western people in general

    Another thing...you don't see so many 'kids with kids' here...

    If this had been a U.K. or Australian forum I'd have half expected a 'Teenagers & Parenting' thread to have been for teenage parents.

    No religious hang ups about birth control and abortion. All my Asian-American friends moms had them on birth control by 10th grade "just in case."
