    Whoops, I got Brightlights, who is very keen to point out how he ended up with more than alcohol, and Brightsum mixed up. Now I'm very, very tempted to make another joke, but I won't...

    For me you can change London to Boracay. Lucky I left all important stuff with the hostel in Manila.

    A friend's colleague had a drink spiked in LKF a few months ago. Colleagues thought she had too much to drink and put her in a taxi home. She got out round the corner and went for another drink somewhere else. Somehow she ended up in Sai Ying Pun and toppled down the steep steps. A kind person helped her and called an ambulance which took her to Queen Mary. She'd lost her purse during the evening and had no ID or mobile on her. The hospital didn't know what she was on or her resident status so didn't treat her for 12 hrs. Think she broke her nose and wrist when she fell.

    The next day when she didn't show up for work everyone panicked. They called all the hospitals and located her at QM. Work transferred her to another hospital where she was treated.

    Happened to 2 attorneys I know. Their drinks were definitely spiked with rophypnol, aka rophy. It also goes under the brand name Flunitrazepam. It is almost immediate acting benzodiazepine that will knock you out.

    Oh wow, that’s terrible - hope she has fully recovered.

    Did they report it? Where they working in HK or just passing through? If they reported it and are willing to share the details, please PM me. TIA.

    This is a trick happening mostly in foreigners' nightlife areas instead of Chinese areas.
