Stumbled up this place this morning. It’s really worth a visit. It was originally built in 1832 (on the location of the original fort 1174-1189). A primary school was built inside later - I can only imagine what fun the kids had playing around the walls and canons! There’s a nice little (Halal) restaurant/cafe right outside the main gate too.

It's my favorite climbing gym in HK, anyone knows why they are closing?

I am a Hong Kong citizen (born and raise here) who will be graduating from college next month. I consider living in some other countries as one of my life goals and I want to achieve it as early as possible. I slightly prefer Canada to UK, I applied for some master's degrees in Canada in order to get a 3-year work permit, but I don't get any offer as of today . Now I am thinking about moving to UK using BNO visa, but I have some concerns：

1. It may be very difficult to find a full time job considering my background (My education background : Bachelor of science in one of the top 3 universities in HK with a second lower honor. My only job experience: a half year actuarial intern in a fortune 500 life insurance company, but don't think it's well known in UK. Would like an actuarial analyst job after graduation)

2. I know the cost of living is quite high in England. I only have around $200k in my bank account. Not sure if it's enough to survive in extreme cases (i.e not getting a job for more than 6 months)

Don't know it's a wise decision to move to UK this year. Or should I move there next year? If I have 1 year of full time work experience in HK, I guess it will be easier to get a job in UK. Would like to know your thoughts.

Hi everyone, PSA since summer is coming up. I and a few friends were in Long Ke beach last year, we were sat by the shore, this local guy and his friend flew his drone super close to us and nearly hit us, the beach is massive and there was barely anyone there, felt super suspicious, just felt like he was trying to get his drone as close as possible since we were in swim gear. He was 35-40s, 5”8, with short gelled black hair, just wanted to give everyone a heads up, stay safe, cheers!

When you need an office, you need an office. Sure you got enough CCTV cameras there?

I'm going to be getting my Non-chinese Travel Permit next week and want to activate the e-channel function ASAP. Does anyone know if the service for activating this is available in the evenings? (6pm onwards). Ideally, I would do this through the Lo Wu crossing. Thank you!

We're 2 students from Hong Kong but one of us is leaving soon and the concert (14/4) is one of the last times we'll be together and as fans since her debut album we really want to go, but unfortunately we've missed all of the selling dates and all the resellers are either absurdly unaffordable for us (~$3000) or obviously scams😭 so this our last ditch attempt at finding some good-hearted people willing to sell 2 tickets for around $1000 HKD each (can negotiate though)

We would be so immensely grateful if we get tickets (standing or sitting are both fine), please please please DM or comment if you do have sellable tickets or know someone who's willing to sell 🙏🙏 thanks so much!!

Hi, my girlfriend and I (both trans) will be staying in Hong Kong for just under a month. I really don't want to stay in CKM / Mirador as I was catcalled, propositioned, followed home etc almost daily on my last visit there. It was mostly no big deal but just not looking for that kind of attention. Can anyone recommend a relatively calm room anywhere in Hong Kong on a budget of less than 2000 USD / month? Thanks in advance.

Usually get film developed at SHOWA in CWB (whom I love) but they’re expensive to buy cameras at.

Any help?

For more context, IShowSpeed is a very popular YouTuber with around 38 million subscribers. In the IShowSpeed asia tour, he visited Hong Kong. Many fans adored him and started to crowd around the bus in the middle of the road. Even one or two police guards had to take action.

Hi all,

I am looking to apply for TTPS in HK (currently live and work in the UK). While I satisfy all the condition the scheme required, I am unsure of what information work experience letter from employer needs to include.

Does anyone here have experience with this? Would the standard letter stating employer name, employee name, length of service be sufficient for TTPS?

Or would I need to request the employer to include primary duty (not standard as far as I know among UK employers).

Thanks a lot!

hi guys my friend has been applying to many jobs in hk (over 300) for the past two months. tailored cover letter and everything, messaged hr managers but no response. he’s not got an offer yet and i’m sure it’s bc of the visa problem (he has a bba and his own business he runs) - he’s applying for QMAS and hasn’t gotten it yet. many companies refuse to sponsor visas. any advice on where to look for job opportunities with immediate availability that doesn’t need cantonese or mandarin? he’s just done linkedin and jobsdb. also any advice on the QMAS visa situation? thank youuuu

Posh universities as in Durham, Exeter, Bristol, Bath, Edinburgh, and St Andrews. These universities have the highest percentage of privately educated students in the UK, and are joked around as ‘Oxbridge rejects unis’. (note: I didn’t mention top London universities because often they are too international and nouveau riche for the tastes of the British upper classes)

2 Years ago I went to a market full of food and cultural items from Hong Kong in Birmingham. I bought these ingredients for a soup there and ever since I finished it, have been wanting to get it again. I ate the soup from frozen every day for a month! I have only one picture but unfortunately it has all the chinese translated. Does anyone have any idea what soup it is or how to get this packet of ingredients again?
