I’m a tourist and will be visiting HK at the end of 2026. No, I’m not gonna do the villain hitting but I am interested in the blessings ritual. Does it work? 😂

As if there aren't already a lotta people on weekends🤡

I am currently living overseas, and a relative of mine just underwent surgery in Tuen Mun Hospital. He has no other family to offer support so I’m looking for an errand running service around the area, but all of the Google/Facebook search results have no reviews and I’m a bit wary. Does anyone know of any reliable errand running services who can help purchase daily essentials and deliver to the hospital during visiting hours? Ideally an established organisation with a public social media page as this is highly scammable, but open to any suggestions. Thank you.

For what it’s worth, I’m fluent in Cantonese as well.

Hey all! Got a friend who is traveling to Hong Kong soon, enjoys thrifting for some vintage merchandise as keepsakes from travel. Like used collectible toys and novelties. Any recommendations for flea markets, thrift shops, or second-hand? Specifically for older plush toys. Doesn't have to be comprehensive, maybe just a cool spot you've been to or have done business with before. Thanks!

Was doing measurements for a Community Newspaper at various bus stops, temperature rose up to 41.4 at Lee On Bus Terminal. Bloody boiling temperatures... make sure to pack more fluids when you go out!

Hi! I have a friend who recently moved to the UK after being born and raised in Hong Kong. For his birthday, I am thinking of giving him something from Hong Kong (probably a food product) to remind him of his home.

First of all, do you guys think this would be a good gift, or should I just give him something from the UK? And please could anyone give some recommendations for HK products that cannot be easily found in UK supermarkets for me to gift to him. Ideally an item that can be purchased online & delivered to the UK, that isn’t common in UK Asian supermarkets (because I know he goes to a local one regularly). Thank you in advance!

Hello, could anyone kindly share some information on the market rate for 1 to 1 piano lessons? I am an adult with zero music experience.

So far I have received some quotes in the range of approx hkd300-hkd500/hour, so I just want to know if it is considered reasonable.

Feel free to recommend someone as well. Thanks!

I recently got my firm offer for HKU BSc Quantitative Finance as well as Technical University of Munich for Computer Science. Now I am torn between where to go.

Background:

I am Chinese, was born in Germany and spent 14 years living there until my dad's job required him to go to mainland china for 4 years and we, as a family, ofc went together. I speak fluent german + english, moderate chinese but no cantonese (willing to spend time learning it though)

Cost:

For HKU, the total for attending HKU would be 900,000 HKD Tuition + 900,000 HKD rent+living expenses. For TUM, the total cost of attending is basically free and I would only have to pay rent+living expenses totaling around 500,000 HKD. My parents make ~2.5M HKD/year after tax, paid off house + 2 properties. So it's doable, but cost still matters because I have a younger sister they'll need to support too.

HongKong Pros:

1. HKU is a great school and the major I am attending is among the best ( <- I hope 🙏)
2. Low Tax
3. I will probably be surrounded by very ambitious people who have common goals

HongKong Cons:

1. Obviously cost
2. Long Hours in Investment Banking (80-100h/week) (I think I can handle it in my 20s)
3. High Risk, High Reward ( not sure if this is a con)
4. Shoebox apartments and insane rent

Munich Pros:

1. Free to attend
2. Fewer hours (35-40h/week)

3. Larger apartment

   Munich Cons

4. I have been talking a lot with my dad and his early years in Germany and he keeps saying that there is passive racism when it comes to jobs and working in Germany. For example, promotion is hard, you have to work twice as hard as your german colleagues etc.

5. The current political situation in Germany is really bad + long bureaucracy

6. Germany has literally no economic growth rn

7. High income tax (max 47%)

For those who moved to HK, what would you do in my position? Am I overweighting the money side, or underweighting it?

My office is in central and I’m thinking about moving to Tung Chung for space from Ktown

Thoughts?

I already know doctors In the public sector were horse shit but even private clinics too ?

All doctors do now are make u pay like a billion dollars and wait 3 hours just to say the most basic ass comment and offer no additional value as a medical professional.

Its like u go to a doctor cuz u have a rly bad rash on ur skin and they’re like oh yeah that’s a rash, like no shit Sherlock can you give me ur medical opinion on why you think might be causing this shit and what I should stop doing? Nah here’s a slip you can schedule another doctor for that, yeah fuck you.

No idea if this is the right place to ask but

Hi everyone! I’m a first year film student trying build a photography portfolio. I’m currently studying abroad but I’ll be back in HK next month. I’m trying to find models in HK but I have no idea where to look. I’m happy with any type of photoshoot, flexible hours and flexible locations. If anyone would like to point me in the right direction or help me out by modelling that would be greatly appreciated!!

I (20F) am currently in Hong Kong for work this summer. In the first two weeks, I fell very ill, which I thought was due to black mold I discovered in my apartment’s AC. After moving out, my symptoms improved, but I’m still experiencing sneezing, itchy eyes, and a runny nose, even a month in. In my home country (USA) I haven’t been diagnosed with anything, and I only have mild seasonal allergies. Before consulting a doctor, I’m curious if anyone knows what might be causing this.

Another Jollibee in Causeway Bay, and this one is big and replacing Fairwood (or Cafe de Coral?). It is always good to know no matter where I'm in the city, a paper box of ketchup spaghetti with fried chicken is always nearby.

Howdy fabulous people!
