I'm lucky that I had family pay for my nice hotels for group vacays in the past but I wouldn't mind going to Hong Kong booking something off airbnb.com or hostelbookers.com next time as these nice rental apartment facilities can be had starting at $60.00 USD per night.
I mean, you gotta shop when going to Hong Kong especially for the great clothing deals, but I'm sure you can find good cheap eats & street food while going to a nice well known Cantonese restaurant once a day or once every 2 days.
As for nightlife, pregame for heading out to keep costs minimal.
I'd say Hong Kong is geographically similar to Rio de Janeiro except HK offers exponentially more while being cheaper with much more lodging/entertainment options. Though I speak Portuguese and love everything Brazil, I'd rather go to HK 2-3 more times than visit Rio just once again.
why dont you like Rio?
I feel Rio is abit TOO relaxed, (its like 'what the heq are these people doing on the beach? dont they have JOBS?). whereas in Hong Kong everyone is very focused on business and making money. Alot of jobs there as well, is good place for me actually. However, if i get older, i would definitly be in RIo, HK is too stressful.
