Where Prince Harry likes to party: Boujis opens in Hong Kong

Boujis, London's most exclusive nightclub, opens its first international branch tonight in Hong Kong.

It's the people that make the place and nowhere is this more true than at a nightclub. Boujis' original spot in London is a modest basement space, relatively non-descript.

Now Boujis is venturing to Asia and they seem unfazed by Hong Kong's ruthless nightlife scene and fickle clubbers.

"We do not fall into the tourist circuit of must-see places in Hong Kong," says Sam Jeveons, the general manager of Boujis Hong Kong.

Another caddie rolls up in a cart and hands me an icy beer. "Nice strike! Next time, make good shot," he offers.

By the end of the round I've lost five balls, had three beers and barely walked 50 yards, courtesy the golf cart.

This is golf Mission Hills Haikou style -- enjoyed slowly, shrugged off easily.
