Thanks VP
Is Wanchai a good location for a 3 night stay? I heard that it's a p4p area except on a Sunday afternoon (could be on a Sunday too). I see some AirBnb apartments for about $100/night or less in that neighborhood.

Wanchai doesn't seem to have the same stigma as say Lower Sukhumvit in Bangkok. A couple of streets with hookers, but also clean places. I feel your pain about accomodation though. There are cheap places in Kowloon but I hate that IRT infected area. I've stayed in IBIS Sheung Wan which is close to LKF, 2 stops from Central, should be able to get it at around $100-120 with a good offer.

Can anybody explain to me why the helpers are required to live with their families by law? Somewhat reminiscent of indentured servitude...
Also, wouldn't families be mildly uncomfortable with an outsider living in their homes? I know I would be. I guess HK wives/mothers think differently.

This Sunday night maid thing... at what time are they out partying?
Because LKF seems to go until 5 or 6 am.. Are they out all night or are they relatively tame and stay out until just midnight or so?

At night they are mostly home already. They have to work the next day. They will be out from noon to early evening for the most part.
