Where Prince Harry likes to party: Boujis opens in Hong Kong

Boujis, London's most exclusive nightclub, opens its first international branch tonight in Hong Kong.

It's the people that make the place and nowhere is this more true than at a nightclub. Boujis' original spot in London is a modest basement space, relatively non-descript.

"We do not fall into the tourist circuit of must-see places in Hong Kong," says Sam Jeveons, the general manager of Boujis Hong Kong.

This is golf Mission Hills Haikou style -- enjoyed slowly, shrugged off easily.
