HK is a very safe city by most western standards, and I don't think MK generally unsafe, but I would take care late at night, just as I would in any city .... no back alleys, and definitely not give a triad guy any reason to take a special interest in my future well being.

I have to laugh when I hear HKers talk about how dangerous Mongkok is. Seeing some guy with a scar and a tattoo is considered a walk on the wild side over here. Asians have a much lower threshold for what's considered dangerous. The kind of incident that makes the front page in HK wouldn't even be deemed newsworthy back in the States. We require serious body count, preferably involving automatic weapons, before the media even begins to pay attention. Three decades in Asia and I've never been anywhere where I felt uncomfortable or threatened.

the only thing dangerous about MK is that crazy bastard who's been throwing acid out of windows or off roofs

I agree with Marsupial.  In the States, where everyone can legally carry a gun, unlike HK, it's much more dangerous.  We have drive by shootings here in drug infested streets.  I would very much rather be running from a knife, even those for chopping watermelons, than running from a gun.  Stitches hurt, but a bullet hole is much much worse.
