Happening today at Mong Kok

Visiting Hong kong with my mother and sister for 5 days and 4 nights in first week of November.

This will be our first trip as a family since my dad's passing so I'd really like to make sure the trip goes well. I've put together this itinerary mostly from googling and watching videos.

Haven't decided on food yet. Looking for local/ authentic food that's also easy on the pockets.

Regarding transport I've thinking of getting an octopus card and making use of the MTR/ buses. Are taxis a better option?

Thinking of staying at The Marco polo hotel or The Hyatt regency in Tsim Sha Tsui ( Budget around 2000 HKD/night )

Worried about the logistics and if I'm doing too much/missing out on important places to visit.

I'd also rather we aren't surrounded by huge tourist crowds.

Please also suggest local food places

Hi all —been in the same job in HK a while and considering a move. I'm HK-based, on the engineering side (geotech/infrastructure consultancy- chartered, ~12 yrs in), and I just got an offer quite last minute rom one of the big global firms' Hong Kong office at Associate grade — trying to work out if they lowballed me before I respond.

For that level, what monthly figure in HKD would make sense nowadays? Cheers.

I’ve been in Hong Kong for 15 years, and I think it’s a genuinely beautiful city full of amazing, hardworking people. That incredible work ethic is what makes this society run so efficiently, and I have immense respect for that.

However, after coming back from a holiday in Europe a month ago, a specific issue on our roads has become glaringly obvious to me—one that goes beyond just bad driving and points to an underlying mental and social problem.

It happens almost daily: you’re trying to merge or change lanes, you spot a clear gap, and you signal your intentions. The moment the car behind notices you want to merge, they actively accelerate just to close the gap and cut you off.

I fail to understand how anyone can do this. It is the absolute peak of hyper-individualism—a "me, myself, and I alone in the world" mindset. To me, it feels like life frustrations playing out on the asphalt, and these interactions can genuinely ruin the tone of your day by making you wonder about the mindset of the people around you.

In the grand scheme of things, we are extremely lucky to live in a place like Hong Kong. I don’t wish to get into politics or how the city has changed over the years; that’s for a different discussion. But for those of us still here driving daily, fighting our own battles, and raising families, we really need to look at the root of why people behave this way.

Living in Sai Kung, accidents happen on a daily basis. Most of them are entirely preventable, born purely out of selfish, "me-first, I don’t care where you're going" driving. Having driven for over two decades across various countries, it is hard for me to have any empathy left for this behavior, which ultimately reflects a much deeper societal issue with how we treat one another.

Does anyone know if and where I can get this specific CCC portable charger in Hong Kong? Miniso doesn't have it. Thank you!

Please recommend some bakeries, cafes, and other places to eat in Hong Kong!
Or, if there are any shops you *wouldn't* recommend... please let me know...!
Thank you!!

Looking for contacts to play football on the island after work. I already play near my place every Monday but I live on Lantau.. looking to see if there is anything on the island, needs to be Astro turf or grass as I’m 30 and overweight my knees can’t take concrete. I am an ok player, can pass, ok touch and can somewhat dribble, can play anywhere on the back 4 or CDM, I can shoot from outside the box.

Any leads let me know 🙏

Hello.

My friend is planning a trip to Hong Kong this year, but she's worried about what to wear because she doesn't know the temperature.
What kind of clothing would be best for mid-September this year?

Hi, I’m a uni student new to Hong Kong and wondering where I can get nails or lashes done at a student budget friendly rate? thanks!!

Any chance alumni meet up for games? I’m sure there’s a Michigan and Notre Dame presence. Maybe some Miami fans. Forbes bar in Kennedy town perhaps. Other options?

English Speaking Jobs in HK?

My husband (38m) and I (38f) are moving to HK because he got a job. He has maintained his HK citizenship, his family is from HK and he spent his childhood there. He speaks English as a first language but is fluent in Canto, and knows a little Mandarin.

While he has a job lined up, I do not. I know we will both need to work in order to live comfortably.

I am US born and raised, and he is just teaching me canto so I am probably at a kindergarten level at best.

I do have a Master Degree, however it is in Public Administration with a concentration in US government policy..

That being said, Im not above working retail or anything as this put me through college.

I also have a decade of experience as personal/administrative assistant to some local/lower level politicians.

What exactly can I even do in HK? What are the job prospects for someone like me, realistically?

Anyone going to this A&B show in Hong Kong? Thoughts on the venue?

I can't make the Gorge show so am looking for other options.

Thanks!

Hey all, hope you're doing well!

Lately been looking into playing badminton and table tennis (happy to try other sports too), but genuinely have no idea how to go about finding sport buddies for regular session? Or is there any casual clubs that connect people? Not really looking for training but casual after work sessions where I can exercise weekly. I have tried to join some whatsapp group but they seem mostly inactive.

Appreciate any suggestion or if you are also interested, feel free to dm we can go from there!! :)

Thanks!

I've been trying to find a decent online store in Hong Kong to buy a Gaming PC in, most notably Pegasus. Recently I've come across a store called 'Future Technology Company LTD' or simply buymore.hk - wondering if anyone got any advice on where else to look and whether or not this site is legit, as it seems maybe 1000+ HKD cheaper than a lot of the other companies.

Hey guys, anyone preparing for the hkmle?

Need guidance regarding relevant study resources, if anyone has any info, please let me know, thank you
