Carnival time for those with banking jobs in Hong Kong

Britons living and working in Hong Kong may wish to get into the carnival spirit as the autumn approaches.

Indeed, those with banking jobs in Hong Kong may find there is no better way to escape the pressures of the office than by attending the Lan Kwai Fong street festival in October.

According to What''s On When, the event is a great occasion from a culinary perspective, with the best food available laid out for revellers and spectators alike, along with masterclasses, wine tasting and guest chef demonstrations.

Every year, the carnival sees streets bursting to life, as fortune tellers, magicians and performers attempt to put a smile on people''s faces.

In addition, locals and visitors can browse the craft stalls or could even go celebrity-spotting, as the organisers claim the event attracts some of Hong Kong''s most famous faces every year.

The event''s website claims that Lan Kwai Fong is one of the "hippest" areas of Hong Kong, boasting plenty of bars and restaurants.
