Ip Man 2.0<br />
So you’re agile, flexible and want to kick ass Sign<br />
up for classes at Wan Kam Leung Practical<br />
Wing Chun Kung Fu International, a martial arts<br />
school founded by Sifu Wan Kam Leung, an early<br />
student of Ip Man’s disciple Sifu Wong Shun Leung.<br />
Wan has adjusted the Wing Chun system to make it<br />
more practical and suitable for modern-day needs.<br />
The style proved so useful that Wan was invited<br />
by the Police Force to become their chief kung<br />
fu instructor. Sifu Wan is used to having Englishspeaking<br />
students—so long as you’re humble and<br />
willing to listen. Prices start at $750 for four classes,<br />
or $1,100 for unlimited monthly classes.<br />

Screw it, just stick to<br />
investment banking<br />
Money’s brilliant, isn’t it Enjoy it by by visiting WW Chan & Sons (8B,<br />
Entertainment Building, 30 Queen’s Rd. Central, 2366-9738) and ordering a<br />
bespoke suit (from $12,000) but insisting that it be in an obscenely broad<br />
chalk-stripe pattern with shoulders that are 6-10 inches too wide. Then go in<br />
search of the most expensive drink you can find: The extensive wine list at<br />
Petrus at the Island Shangri-La (Supreme Court Rd., Admiralty, 2820-8590)<br />
offers a 1928 magnum of Petrus for $397,000, which should hit the bill. Finally,<br />
you’re going to want to book out Hong Kong’s most expensive hotel room, the<br />
7,000-square-foot Presidential Suite at the InterContinental Hong Kong<br />
(18 Salisbury Rd., Tsim Sha Tsui, 2721-1211), which will set you back a paltry<br />
$106,700 per night. Ha! Career-changing idiots.<br />
Bring me six of<br />
everything at Petrus!<br />
Yes, I am dining alone!<br />
This WW Chan suit is far too tasteful!<br />
Make it more vulgar immediately!<br />
