Man Pays More Than $2,500 for a Beer!

How much would you pay for a beer in Hong Kong? A New Zealand traveler paid 20,000 Hong Kong dollars (US$2,595) for his! ...

Hahahhahahaha. Damn tourists.

What a maroon.

porr guy, that's just wrong.

i've held on to a foreign tourist's mistaken $20 tip before, but i think i'd say something to him at 20,000.

when i was backpacking thru europe, i met a chic in a hostel who told me she couldn't be bothered with converting currencies, so she would just hold out her money to a vendor and let them take the correct amount

Ha. Must've been some pretty strong beer if he signed the card slip and didn't notice the additional zeros.
Reminds me of something we used to say at school: Don't touch what you can't afford

The dopey bastard. I prefer to get beer for 70p

What a ultra-maroon.

See, at that point I would just start claiming that it was the best goddamned beer I'd ever drunk.

That does sound like something that would happen to me, though.

Haha, that would suck. At least I don't have anywhere near that amount in my account anyway, so I don't see that happening to me anytime soon.

i sold my soul for a cigarette once, but i got it back
