I have tramped through some pretty grotty buildings in search of both tail and Indian food. You are eminently safe in HK, even in places that common sense would dictate you avoid, like stairwells.
The biggest hazard in HK is maybe getting pick pocketed in a crowded street market.
Once going up a stairwell in chungking mansions I saw used syringes on the floor. Not sure what would have happened if I came across the user.
some years ago before the handover some triads broke into a gwailo chick's apartment in wanchai and beat her up, sending her to the hospital. It was reported however that she had started a high end prostitution business sending WGs to hotels, in direct competition of a triad group doing the same thing. I don't think any of us here are about to set up our own business, although with all the experience we have amongst us no doubt we could run a successful venture.
Keep on mongering
