Summer's HERE in the district (and the 115-degree swelterfest is NOT here yet) so we've got the best pool parties, beach parties, club parties and more that you won't want to miss out on this three day weekend in DC! More»

Just like summer in New York, Hong Kong turns into a completely different city with a new vibe when the temperature rises. From the pain of dealing with the first wave of humidity to the stream of pool parties and yachts getaways, here are several indicators that Hong Kong is just about to get hotter than you can handle.
