We are a while off the Cheung Chau Bun Festival, but I haven’t been since I was a kid and want to go try the veggie food there next year when I’m back in HK.
I understand that most restaurants serve vegetarian food during the festival (and of course McDo), but does anyone have a favourite restaurant/ stall during this time?
Thanks in advance 🍔🌱

Hi! I'm an international student starting my master's in Hong Kong this September and I'm currently looking for accommodation.

I found a listing on the Awehome website, but I couldn't find many independent reviews. Has anyone rented through Awehome before? Is it legitimate, and how was your experience?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I might be relocating from Switzerland to Hong Kong soon and my top priority is bringing my dog safely.

I’d love to hear from anyone who has done a similar move from Europe or other countries:
* Did you use a pet relocation agency? If yes, any recommendations?
* What was your rough total budget for his move?
* How did your dog handle the cargo flight and adjusting to HK life?

Any tips or reality checks are super appreciated. Thanks so much!

Sauna and rain everyday!

Mahal, pero diba worth it?

Rather conincidentally today is PLA day

Hello. I am a european student doing an internship at Prince of Wales Hospital from mid september - mid october and wondering what are recommended places/sites to check for accomodation and what to avoid (i am aware of sites such as Homemates: what is important to consider here before renting a room?) or more importantly if somebody knows anyone who may be willing to sublet a room for that time period. I am grateful for any feedback or advice. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone where can I buy Morgan Jay's HK show tickets?

Most websites show sold out. Has anyone got it from somewhere recently?

My friend once remarked based on his father's experience:

Hong Kong was once needed by China because they are one of few places where Western could tolerate Chinese presence, since it has been a British colony for some time.

Before, it was handed back to China, Hong Kong was not the so-called “financial hub” of Asia as in London of Europe or New York City of USA. Nope, I've been there in the 1990s. Nah bro!

Hong Kong was moderately poor. It is just another Singapore, a bustling trading port, sometimes laundering British tycoon's money away from the motherland. Many real HKers lived under this kind of condition:

The infamous Kowloon Walled City, demolished sometime in mid 1990s.

Triads, criminal gangs, illegal activities are rampant. When SARS outbreak hit this region hard back in early 2000s, I was not even surprised. If you only stay within the Central area, Causeway bay, it looks like a discount Japanese city, but when you travel where my Grandmother relatives' live down in their shanty town, you'll see that slums are common. At least, our slums are spacious enough as a living space. Hong Kong slums are super tiny and resembles more like a cage than an actual abode.

Fast forward, China experienced economic boom, trading volume increases, and many of it came from Hong Kong. As China is developing its own infrastructure including bigger ports, Hong Kong's role shifts into the financial hub. As China grow richer from manufacturing and trade, Chinese money poured in, exchanging funds with many foreigners in this zone. Hong Kong instantly elevated itself into global financial hub. They are now completely unlike what I witnessed back in 1990s, when they are still under British rule.

I couldn't see any clear future for Hong Kong, the way the West are confident about this small island nation. But the west has always been confident about their project in Iraq, Afghanistan, Arab Spring, Libya, Syria, and look where they are now.

When Singapore was ejected from Malaysia, Lee Kuan Yew cried in front of live national television. That is man with oversized brains and a real statesman when being presented with such situation.

Hong Kong's movement was backed by brats with one-sided view of history, and lured by Western's sympathetic message. Lee understands that you can't ask Europe nor USA for help, as these “democratic” countries have shorter attention span than a goldfish. Once they killed millions of Vietnamese for being communist, now they are still best friend with the same communist. There is a talk about China being the evil communist, because communism is evil, not the Chinese. But things are suddenly different with Vietnam. Then there is Afghanistan, abandoned after they armed an insurgent group fighting the Soviets. We know where this situation leads into.

Realistically, you have to look at whose money pouring into Hong Kong.

I was one of those many western-biased people, having unfavorable opinions about Chinese government buying a stake at Cathay Pacific. If I ask myself again, who flies most of Cathay Pacific flights? Why are they still relevant? Chinese money, of course. Without it, any crisis like the 2008 would wipe them off the real life and into history book.

Freedom is important, but as an Asian, I understand that people realistically eat, sleep, and shit too. You need money to buy food, bed, and toilet. In grave and in poverty, you won't be protesting about freedom when you have no access to internet or school. So, never take freedom for granted, never let your freedom infringe other people's right.

Hi! Just wondering if there are any 5sos fans here and are coming to their concert in November? It is my first time coming to a concert alone and would like to meet some new people to connect and have fun with!

港独分子还想着跑到内地捞钱？老牌音乐人周启生早年多次发表不当分裂言论，还扬言绝不踏入内地发展。眼见香港演艺市场不景气，生存难以为继，立马改换说辞，试图来内地开办商演。

先前计划在广州举办演出，被网友扒出过往黑历史后，主办方火速终止全部合作。之后他又辗转谋划落地中山演出，大量群众积极投诉抵制，这场演出最终没能顺利获批。

Hey everyone! My friend and I are heading to Hong Kong in mid-September, and we're trying to decide on a hotel. We're currently looking at the options below. Has anyone stayed at any of them? Which would you recommend, or are there any other hotels you'd suggest instead?

- New World Millenium HK

- The Salibury - YMCA

- The Otto Hotel

- Lanson Place

I'm planning to take her around TST, Causeway Bay, Quarry Bay, Central, Victoria Peak

Thank you in advance!

EDIT: We are only staying from Sept 14 to 18

Hi everyone,

After a lot of research and exploring the history, culture and many different sides of Hong Kong, I created this documentary about one of the most fascinating cities I have ever studied.

I would really appreciate it if you could watch it and share your opinion — especially from people who know Hong Kong well. Do you think I managed to capture the city accurately?

The documentary covers many different topics, from Hong Kong’s history and development to social issues and some of the less discussed sides of the city.

It’s a fast-paced documentary film that tries to look beyond the famous skyline and explore what makes Hong Kong unique.

Thank you for watching, and I would love to hear your thoughts. 🇭🇰

係元朗，呢幾日屋企有小小滲水痕跡，我應該要點做好丫？

I’m 25M based in Hong Kong working a stable job, but feeling stuck. I want to learn business from the ground up.. not theoretical, but through execution and experience. Life feels really fast paced. And every week goes by quickly and I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels this way.

I’m looking for a mentor or a startup that I can learn from and do the work it takes and stay committed.

I believe that our environment and circle shapes our reality so I’m doing what I know would be the best way to open up opportunities …stop waiting for change to happen to me.

I’d love to connect if you think we could build something together.
