Density

In terms of population per square foot, the mostly densely populated place in the world right now is any outlet of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Tonight sees a drawing of Mark 6 (lottery) with a prize of HK$36 million (US$4.6 million). That combined with Hong Kong's pathological addiction to gambling means hundreds of people cram into lino-floor cash hoovering machines. You can interact with a human, or you can use any one of the ATM-style betting machines. Either way the giant sucking sound of large amounts of money continues unabated.

But you can all stop. I've got my tickets so the winning numbers are locked in. If there's no blogging tomorrow you'll know why.
