No, he wasn't hanged in Hong Kong. However, he did say that after the first week he was getting claustrophobia on the streets because of how closely packed Hong Kongese are and how little physical personal space one has.
He said he hung ~OUTT ... errr ... stayed mostly in his hotel because he had personal space there, whereas on the streets or in public transport he felt claustrophobic.
Too bad for him, as Hong Kong has some of the best restaurants and shopping in the world. Butt I totally understand his point.
BTW, the guy was (is) a scratch golfer. Two afternoons a week he'd' take off and "play sticks" with various VC and hang ~OUTT ... errr ... solicit new contacts and clients.
Dude was a massive rainmaker. Second biggest book of biz in the entire firm (nott just office, butt among all offices of the firm). Super nice guy. I was very lucky to have him as a mentor. We gott along like Cheerios and milk in a bowl. Like vanilla ice cream and chocolate fudge. I really enjoyed that working and personal relationship. He's living his dream now and he deserves it - dude works/worked superhard and was really dedicated to the clients. His goal was to eventually do nothing butt sit on a bunch of boards of directors. He is just about there. Golf, board meetings, and his home a very, very, very short distance away from Joe Montana's home. Like chipping range. And he has golfed with Joe (probably made sure Joe beat him, even if Joe was 12 over).
So, no, he was nott hanged in HK.
