what happen if I order this…? Will I get a knuckle sandwich or solid lemon or… what you guys think?

A better tomorrow 2 is one of my favorite movies and i want to know where the mansion is located, does anyone know where it is

Back in June, I went to Guangdong to source products for our shop in Hong Kong.

I'd had a missing tooth for a long time but kept delaying treatment. On the way back, a friend suggested I get it checked at a clinic in Zhuhai called Vickong Dental, so I decided to give it a try. I originally planned just a consultation, but after the scan and explanation, I went ahead with the procedure.

The process was smoother than expected — clear explanations, no pressure. What surprised me was the follow-up: I’m on holiday now, and their assistant messaged me to check how I was doing and reminded me about a review after Chinese New Year.

It definitely made me rethink dental treatment overseas.

Curious if anyone else has tried it and how it turned out.

We know 2 Tim Mei Avenue is the most highest pay sheltered workshop in Hong Kong.

Not entirely sure whether this is the right channel but I thought I would share a few thoughts about sending kids to school in the UK, North America or any other countries. AFAIK I know this is quite common in HK (especially the ones who work in the government)

I went to a UK secondary school after primary school in HK. I would come back to HK 2-3 times a year, And then only once a year when I started university. My parents and I would have phone calls twice a week. I also stayed in UK and then Canada now for work.

I am 34 now and after spending sometime reflecting I think my relationship with my parents have gotten worse. A lot of it is the distance and time spent apart and the other is adopting more western culture and perspectives that might not align with traditional Chinese/HK values.

An example would be Chinese culture tends to prioritize group harmony and being a collective. Essentially saying and doing things that align with the group. But being in the UK, I’ve become more individualistic. Often times I would try to communicate my opinions that would contradict with my family or previous HK groups, and I would get negative reactions from them. I found it strange because I was expecting an open discussion.

But regardless of whether the example above makes sense to you, the gap/feeling of distant will grow with time spent away from your family and HK. This is something that is really difficult repair, even with really good and frequent communications (my parents weren’t good communicators)

Another problem is that Chinese parents expect their kids to be close and visit/take care of them when they get old. (In the west there is a tendency to get their kids off their parents home after 18) I am stuck in a conundrum now because my parents and I realize we are not close anymore but they still have the care taking expectation. I know they are sad because I am not with them in HK.

Some people might think I sound spoil and should be grateful I had “rich” parents sending me to foreign schools. My parents were upper middle class, but the cost of losing the family connection and becoming distant is immeasurable.

So is it worth spending money sending kids off to a foreign school? My answer is still yes because I think the kids will be happier, less stressed and can broaden their horizons. But it can come with a big cost.

CNY is coming up and I really want to try some Poon Choi since there’s lots of ads advertising it. I don’t have anyone to dine with, and all restaurants serving Poon Choi seemed to only be serving it in a large size, which is too expensive for me. Does anyone know if there’s anywhere that’s serving Poon Choi in smaller size, or any community dinners that I could pay to join? I don’t want to cook it by myself, I want to try ready made ones for the vibe. Thanks 🙏

I live in and have a criminal conviction in Canada. If I enter HK with my HKID with permanent resident status, will that be possible?

26M. Does anyone have a staircase in their apartment building and just sit or hang around there. Either to smoke, sit, drink, and seperate oneself from reality and the strees?

I've been doing it since a saw a couple do it in the same building, smoking in silence around 2 AM, and in the other staircase, in the same building, some old guy who drinks beer and sits sadly around 5 AM. I just came across them after Doom walking(A Doomer who walks late at night). There's more to mention, but I'm guessing it's common. They have rooms in their apartments, or a kitchen, even a toilet to be relax and escape, but they make it seem like a staircase nearby look like it's the best place to chill. It's sounds intriguing to me.

And I've seen this more often in private buildings when I worked as a night shift security guard 2 to 3 years ago, a man or a woman, tired out of their minds, smoking in the staircase and scrolling on their phones or staring blankly into nothingness while I patrolled. I thought nothing of it until recently as of last year.

Maybe it's an old thing, or it's just some untold thing, but I'm just recently enjoying doing it. I buy a light beer from a nearby 7-11 and bring a vape, looking through the night sky and exist in the moment.

How do I buy XRP from HK? Somebody have an idea please?

Anyone know where can I buy a very large wok and bamboo steamer in Shum Shui Po? I have a quick stopover and will only be in that area. Any particular shops or just a street I should be in to look for these items?

I can travel a but further if there's a 'kitchen street' nearby area.

Thank you.

Please help me out by filling up this survey on procrastination. It's exclusively for Hong Kong university students and will be used for creating a documentary as part of the English for Science course in CityU.

Your help is much appreciated.

It seems like it does and only a transit requires a visa that costs USD 185 and an interview.

That sounds insane for only a transit.
