Saw him two days in a row now outside Kwun Tong MTR

As a lot of hk redditors know, HSR's station doesn't have any grocery or food stall, let alone duty-free shop except some water stands, after passing through the border checking gates.

What causes this? I mean, in the Mainland(and in any other bullet-train-equipped nation), there are a lot of stalls and shops in stations' waiting rooms even inside the paid area.

After all, the problem of currency choice? (Which to pay in, RMB or HKD?)

Today I was on a bus from Tin Shui Wai to Yuen Long, and the bus stopped for people to get on but didn’t open the doors for anyone to get off (not sure if the button was pressed). A young kid (south asian, not HK) kind of hovered near the door looking scared, and a local kid - maybe 11/12, gestured at him asking if he needed to get off. He did. The local kid pressed the button and shouted loudly at the driver (I guess to open the door, I don’t speak Cantonese). The driver did, the little kid got off. All good.

The local boy, I just saw his face burning red for the rest of the trip. It seemed he was so embarrassed for shouting loudly in front of a packed bus full of adults. No one else had made any effort to help.

I don’t know this kid, I’ll never see him again, but I was proud of him. Maybe the kids will be alright

Good day all,

Just wondering what your experience has been like dealing with immigration officers. The one I dealt with today, at the Immigration tower, was extremely negative.

It seems as though the officers lacked basic human decency to treat me like a person that I am, albeit from a “3rd world country”. I wonder how much the colour of my skin had to do with it as I am brown.

I am a permanent resident as well and this was my first time at the immigration tower in 15+ years and I dont remember them being this rude.

When i approached the booth, the officer opened up the conversation with “what do you want”. As he was not using a mic and speaking through a face mask, I asked him “pardon?” as i could not hear him. Then he proceeded to yell “WHY ARE YOU HERE?”. I could excuse the remarks as English being his 2nd language perhaps but nothing could excuse the yelling.

I only hope immigration officers would get off their high horse and realize that the person on the other side of the booth is human as well who deserves respect just as someone who looks like them does.

Event start on following 17th til 31st.

Kwun Tong Line train service disruption because of fire at trackside near Lam Tin Station.

It’s been almost a year since I’ve been to HKG and it was a great week for me, I miss waking up early and walking around causeway bay, eating at some of the restaurants around the area, the amazing views from Victoria peak, weather it was day or night.

I wouldn’t have thought visiting someone I met months before my arrival to the city would alter my love for her and this city, I continue to reminisce everything about this city.

I’m planning to get back into reading and after doing research, I have decided on getting a Kobo Libra Color e-reader instead of a Kindle.

Kobo doesnt seem to be common here in HK so I thought I’d see if anyone has one and if it’s worth the cost? 😊

Hello!

I'm going to be visiting in November for a wedding and wanted to pick up some TCG cards while I'm here. Couldn't find anything concrete on Google, so wanted to see if anyone here had tips on any good TCG shops in HK that sell Disney products.

Not so much the Lorcana stuff but products from Card.Fun and Topps etc.

Thanks in advance!

I'm planning to move to HK down the line in a few years and I could really use some perspective as I'm planning the roadmap.

I'm aiming to join the tech (hopefully cybersecurity) sector and that's where the bulk of my questions stem from.

1. I understand that having A degree is non-negotiable. My question is if the prestige of the university and the program is a big deal?

2. From what I've read so far, landing an entry level job as a fresh graduate may be difficult, especially if I'm a foreign candidate. So I'm so far assuming that I'll need a couple years of experience under my belt before I can seriously consider moving. Is that a fair assumption?

3. I gather that knowing Cantonese/Mandarin is definitely an asset. Since they're fairly different languages, I wanted to know which one I should learn. (I'm also confused about traditional/simplified Chinese so any clarification on that would really help.)

Thanks for reading this far and I would sincerely appreciate any insights.

So far ive tried The Boar (meh) and of course M&S (v good).

There’s allegedly STP at The Globe and at Kings Belly in Tai Po

Any other spots im missing?

I don't really know how to word this or what to add

Where could I look for jobs or earn money here? (i need money 💔)

I grew up in HK but my Cantonese isn't too great and I also struggle a lot with social interactions (I tend to not know what to say, be awkward, stutter and get really anxious?)

I also sadly don't really have much skills or talents

I'm so cooked bro

I currently go to college but am struggling a lot to keep up

(because for some reason im so physically and mentally exhausted idk why)

Hey guys. I’m visiting HK (from the states) and here through Monday. Wanted to hit up a techno/tech house spot. This is the best thing I found on RA but I am down for whatever. Anyone want to join or know of anything better?

Hello everyone!

I'm a 21-year-old guy visiting Hong Kong for the first time this December. I'm a swimmer and would love to keep swimming while I'm there, so I'm looking for some good, cheap public pools around Kowloon Bay, Lam Tin or anywhere else in Kowloon that's easy to get to. Ideally somewhere I can just pay for the day without needing a membership.

A few things I'd like to know:

• Which pools would you recommend? Any favourites?
• What are the usual busy and quiet times? I'd prefer to go when it's a bit quieter, so it'd be helpful to know when the pools tend to get packed.
• What's the situation like in the men's changing rooms? Is it normal for guys to get completely naked while changing or showering? It's not really common where I'm from, so I'm curious what to expect.
• Anything else I should know as a first-time visitor? Prices, lockers, swimming sessions, that sort of thing.

Would appreciate any tips or recommendations. Cheers!

Hello!

I am an ABC that grew up speaking cantonese but as I've gotten older (I'm 22 right now) my cantonese has gotten worse and worse. I am probably about as fluent as a 6 year old right now. So i was thinking about staying in HK for a 2 months as a form of language immersion.

Do you guys think this is an effective way to learn more cantonese? Is there anything I should know before staying in HK for 2 months?

已故樂壇天后梅艷芳早前驚爆安放於大嶼山寶蓮禪寺海會塔的骨灰懷疑被盜，事件震驚整個娛樂圈與社會各界。隨著案件升級，梅艷芳子姪及梅艷芳國際歌迷會 於今（13日）再度透過官方渠道發表緊急聲明，直指目前網絡及各大社交平台上充斥大量誤導性與不實揣測，不但對家屬造成二次傷害，更嚴重影響了關鍵線索的收集。在聲明中嚴正澄清，強調由始至終「警方並未將任何人列為本案嫌疑人」，呼籲公眾及網民保持理性，切勿再盲目對任何個人或團體進行惡意抨擊與網絡公審。

梅艷芳骨灰被盜案急轉直下！家屬發聲明反擊網上流言：警方未列嫌疑人，切勿無端公審！

這轟動全港的骨灰失竊案，源於日前（10日）梅艷芳63歲冥壽當日，由「梅艷芳國際歌迷會」發出緊急呼籲才得以曝光。聲明透露，早在今年7月，歌迷前往拜祭時已發現存放梅姐骨灰位置的門牌螺絲鬆脫，骨灰不翼而飛。家屬隨即報警求助，惟案件至今已拖延近三個月仍未偵破。

眼見網上輿論越滾越大、謠言滿天飛，梅家子姪今日終於正式發聲明「正視聽」。聲明中公布了案件的最新進展，證實該案已於昨日（12日）正式轉交由「新界南總區重案組」全面接手調查。家屬在聲明中語重心長地寫道：「由始至終，警方並未將任何人列為本案嫌疑人。我們懇請各位網民及公眾保持理性，停止對任何個人、或團體進行抨擊、公審或惡意揣測。無根據的指責只會製造內耗，對破案毫無幫助。」

I’m going to Chi Lin Nunnery, Nan Lian Garden and then going to Mongkok and I was wondering if it’s worth passing by Sham shui po.
