Personal spending habits
I spent more than at home simply because I was enjoying an experience. At home, I choose cheaper bars and don't really travel all that often. I had never spent time in Asia and didn't mind paying more to see it.

Housing is organized by the host university, which is very convenient, furthermore it is also very cheap, however, the rooms are very small and don't allow any privacy. Facilities like bathrooms and kitchen are not well equipped and maintained.

Lan Kwai Fong is a great place, and there are tons of fun bars and clubs throughout Hong Kong and Kowloon. Guide books are generally right when explaining where the hot spots are.
