nice! I don't know a woman that would do all that alone. It must be your "commanding presence."
I feel you on the sprained ankle in the middle of checking everything out. I strained the hell out of my groin in st. lucia a couple years ago in the middle of a hike. Of course I kept going and hobbled around the rest of the trip. Probably should've listened to the wife for once.
I actually think I did myself favors by staying on it. I was careful not to re-injure myself, iced it each night, but the pain was minimal after the first day. It sure didn't look pretty, and it's still swollen today, but I'm a stubborn mule and I will push my body through anything before I let it stop me from doing something I want to do lol.
I don't know anyone else who would do all that I did alone either, but I don't anticipate ever going to HK on my own dime, so I didn't want to waste a minute. I'm pretty independent and self entertaining too, and when I was actually sitting still, I made friends with people in my surroundings.
My bravery ended at sundown, though. My hotel had a sweet rooftop bar that provided evening food/drink, there was no reason for me to venture out into the nightlife.
