Oh well, at least I get to travel to HK for the first time ever.  Hope they sell RedBull over there!

I was put through the same last year.  (Remember http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/stuck-in-the-taint-of-bonus-season)

What happened in that case was the client said come hell or high water we're closing this deal before year end.... so literally no one slept until December 31 morning.  Until then, there were about 4 of us living in the office for a week and a half and every MD/VP on the deal was constantly on the phone and faxing back marked up documents from Mexico, Colorado, Vermont, etc...

Nightlife in HK is awesome, been on exchange in HK for the semester I'm going to be here over XMAS until the 27th.

LKF is the hot spot

Hottest clubs to be are

Dragon I
Club Beijing
Prive

Dragon-I is full of pretentious people mostly older crowd, Beijing is a younger crowd but will try to make you pay ~300 HKD cover if they think you're a sucka. I mostly hit up BIllions and Beijing because my friend got close with a DJ that regularly plays at both of those clubs so as a poor student I frequented those the most.

Yeah my friend hit that pizza joint, he said it tasted terrible haha. I never hit up atomic burgers, anything other than Ebeneezer's isn't worth my time that late.

Studying abroad in the fall I would imagine is much more convenient since you can get back in time for recruiting. Wasn't there accelerated or earlier recruiting for those that were planning on studying abroad during the spring?
