Being Stripped Naked: Confessions Of An Expat In Hong Kong

Dave isn't sure what he's searching for in the bustling, vibrant city of Hong Kong. It's certainly a world apart from his hometown in the northeast of England. The year is 1995, and Dave is eager to take advantage of the construction boom before the handoff that's causing Hong Kong's economy to soar. But he soon learns that while Hong Kong may be full of the wealthy and soon-to-be-wealthy, life is cheap. The accidental death of one of his coworkers at the construction site leaves Dave reeling. Luckily, he has his beautiful South African girlfriend, Heloise, to comfort him. With Heloise at his side, Dave travels all over the Pacific, from Macau to Australia, Vietnam to Thailand. He knows that they could have a chance at a real future, but Heloise isn't the only one making her presence known in his life. A sinister man- Chan-leads Dave into temptation. Dave resists until Heloise leaves unexpectedly and then he succumbs to the dark underworld. Being Stripped Naked captures Hong Kong at a turning point in history. Dave too is at a crossroads. Which path will he eventually end up following?
