The facts as I know them are these...

Last Wednesday night (technically Thursday morning c. 00.30), not being in the mood for sleeping, I went out to Hong Kong's bar district, Lan Kwai Fong. Had a couple of drinks in one bar, then took a look in one of the clubs across the road.
I had another couple of drinks in this place, then I was approached by a guy from Germany. It must have been about 2.00 - 2.30am by this stage. After chatting to him for a bit, I bought he and I a drink each.
This is the end of the night, so far as my memory is concerned. When I woke up, I had a b'stard of a hangover and found a credit card slip mysteriously signed in a different bar, at almost 3.00am. My credit cards, while still intact, were all put in my wallet upside down. There was also a rejected cash withdrawal slip in there. Somewhat surprising since I was not pissed out of shape at the time I lost my memory.
Upon closer inspection of my house, some things (not of great value) had been removed. Later, given the state of disarray inside my wallet, I telephoned my banks in the UK and found that I had removed c. GBP200 twice from one account in the space of 2 minutes, and had tried - but failed - to remove a further GBP200 from another account. This was all after 4.00am I believe.
I asked the security at my apartment block to describe the circumstances in which I had returned. Initially, they told me that I had returned alone and entered the building having first been violently ill outside (don't know why but I did find that detail amusing). When I pointed out that this was unlikely bearing in mind that my house had been robbed, further consultation revealed that I had come home with a Chinese woman.
So, I went to the Police and an investigation is now underway. Since then, I have talked with a few people and looked for similar cases on the net. "Strangely", this has happened a lot in Hong Kong...
Which drug is now the only question.
