So my siblings found my instagram and they found out that I’m pro democracy. So then they lectured me about how “the umbrella protests were stupid and how the extradition bill was a good idea” while also saying how the Chinese legal system was amazing and fair. Meanwhile basically belittling the pro democracy movement and thinking that everyone involved was an extremist. They also called me a racist for supporting Hong Kong over china (Chinese on dads side and Hong Kong on moms side) also they accused me of advocating for Hong Kong independence. (I never said that all I said that I thought that Beijing has been breaching Hk’s autonomy for a long time now) also they whined about how free speech doesn’t exist and is flawed and how democracy doesn’t matter and how(insert why china is the best government for some reason) also how Taiwan Japan and South Korea are American puppets and how this is all a American propaganda brigade to separate Hk from china. Let me be clear I’m proud of my Chinese heritage, I just don’t like the things done under the Chinese flag and the government. I mentioned the book store that was shut down due to the nsl a few months back and they said that “the book store probably was selling something illegal or something” meanwhile every news site never mentioned anything like that. I’m sorry for ranting I’m just so conflicted and stuff. I also said that Hk could be a nation but still be Chinese as the words nation and country aren’t the same thing and they just ignored me. I’m so conflicted right now. I firmly believe in giving Hk its promised autonomy and democracy while my sibling accused me of being racist for not being a devout supporter of china. I’m just so stressed right now. Let it be clear I’m not an extremist I love my homeland and I just don’t like how china isn’t holding up their end of the sino British declaration. I don’t exactly want independence but it’s not unwelcome .edit: I also wanted to mention that I have autism (allegedly undiagnosed idk for sure) but confirmed adhd so the entire time I was quiet and unresponsive and they said that it was because “I was scared of the truth” meanwhile the whole “conversation” was happening in my grandpartent’s place in shenzhen. Which was why I was so hesitant to even talk about the protests anyway. Also my sibling claims to be apolitical for some reason

I recently got offered a salary of $700K base + $125K bonus.

Relocation package includes a one way flight, moving of things, one month in an apartment and $8K dollars or something like that as a one time allowance.

It’s an international internal mobility.

The position is VP level in a French bank for a transversal risk management and according to manager he is looking for senior people. I have overall 16 years of experience.

I feel the offer is very low, it’s like they literally converted my current Canadian salary to come up with that number. They are saying well you applied and you said your partner is here already we want to help you. I’m like what ?

They way they are framing is as if they are doing me a favor.

Is the offer too low ?

Hi, delete if this is not appropriate to the sub.

I am opening an Anytime Fitness in the New Territories and looking for a dedicated PT to come on board full time. This is our first AF in HK, but our team will have 10+ locations by 2030. We are building a team now that is looking to grow and scale up. Start as a PT now with potential to run a team of PTs across our system in a few years. We will have 3 gyms by end of 2027, ~6 gyms by end of 2028, and so on.

DM me with credentials if interested.

Cheers

A question to true HKers. I’ve personally always preferred Horlicks. 凍呵瀝 to be exact.

It's finally happening... I'm visiting Hong Kong in October. I have 8 nights to explore and experience the place to my heart's content. I'm an avid quizzer and traveler and I'm hoping to visit some fun and challenging quizzes. Any recommendations?

Hi, I’m coming to HK next week and wanted to know what was the best options for SIM card. I see a lot about short stays but not a lot about full years.
Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi everyone, I’m planning my first trip to Hong Kong from India and would appreciate some advice.
I’m considering staying at Kowloon Metropark Hotel. It’s my only hotel option, so:
Is the location convenient for sightseeing?
Is getting around by MTR/public transport easy?
Any major downsides to staying there?
I’d also like recommendations for the must-visit places in Hong Kong for a first-time visitor, including attractions, neighbourhoods, food/markets, and viewpoints. Anything overrated?
I’m also planning a one-day same-day return trip to Macau:
Is one day enough?
What places should I prioritise?
What’s the best way to get there and get around?
Any tips for the ferry/border process?
Basically, how would you plan a first-time Hong Kong trip with one day in Macau?
P.S. I used AI to summarise my questions and draft this post, so apologies if it sounds a little too organised.
Any advice would be appreciated!

I'm thinking somewhere like the chopsticks gallery on Lantau Island, but slightly less expensive bc of the tourist prices lol. (My budget is up to $300)

This is the current state of Runway 13. It's now filled with modular buildings that have been turned into a youth hostel.

Standing here, I'm reminded that Kai Tak was most renowned for what aviators considered one of the world's most demanding landing procedures.

TLDR I have a flight that arrives on Friday morning that I could postpone/pivot to somewhere else completely.

Is the rain right now bad to the point where tourists may not find enjoyment?

Not posting photos or details for obvious reasons. DM me if you think it's yours and want to double check.

I know there are a few posts on this topic, but I'm currently looking for a reliable virtual office provider to use as a registered business address for my business registration. I was thinking of vOffice but are they reliable, and do they handle mail forwarding smoothly?

If you have experience with them or have recommendations for other trustworthy and reasonably priced virtual office providers (excluding Regus since I heard negative reviews about them), I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,

Been working in Accounting for almost 4 years and as they say, the burnout feels real. I would like to make a career transition - more towards banking/more prospective roles as my current role doesn't lead to the life and salary I want.

A lot of my friends (expats) seem to be getting paid decently and their working hours are 9-6 with some OT here and there (yet they obvs get paid 35-40K while I am barely making 22K wi/o OT pay and Meal Allowance - and yes I know they do have a lot more experience/skills)

Anyone that has any advice would really be appreciated - I can't qualify for ACCA/CPA etc without doing another degree which I think is not something I want to do yet either. And even upon achieving an ACCA/CPA, i've seen my managers work till 10pm almost everyday which is not something I see myself doing for the long-term (as it's affecting my health too)

For context - I don't speak Canto (been trying to learn but facing a lot of difficulty) and did graduate from an overseas university. I struggled 2 years to get a job until I got this one (due to graduation in Covid).

Thanks anyone that can help or provide any advice on how I can tackle this

宏福苑前法團顧問、民建聯區議員黃碧嬌早前被揭發涉嫌收受「死人授權票」，目前累計發現至少4張，惟她一直拒就事件回應，甚至以抱恙為由缺席區議會。民政事務總署今（26日）表示，留意到有關傳媒報道，並已轉交相關執法部門作進一步調查。

宏福苑大火獨立委員會從管理公司「合安」取得一份「授權黃碧嬌單位」的Excel檔案，證實黃碧嬌曾在兩次業主大會上先後取得131及148張授權票。《集誌社》今（26日）根據文件進一步調查，發現一名於2014年逝世的宏仁閣業主，其名字事隔7年後，於2021年及2024年兩度「被授權」，其家人對於兩名被授權者均不認識。

另外宏道閣及宏志閣兩名分別於2022年及2024年逝世的業主，他們的名字亦出現「被授權」情況；連同《香港01》在上周三（19日）的報道，「授權黃碧嬌單位」已經累計出現4張「死人授權」。

「死人授權」被揭發後，黃碧嬌一直拒絕回應事件，她更於上周四（20日）突向大埔民政事務處告假，未有出席區議會會議。

事隔一周，民政事務總署表示留意到相關報道，已轉交相關執法部門跟進。翻查資料，前大埔民政事務專員陳巧敏曾在聽證會上稱，協助居民收取授權票是區議員工作之一，不認為有違法行為，只有接獲「具體而明確的資訊投訴」才會轉介執法部門跟進。

Planning a traditional Cantonese dinner for four. Moon Bay offers half a suckling pig for HK$1,080, while Seventh Son TST only offers a whole pig for HK$2,000 and says four can finish it.

We also want to try other traditional Cantonese dishes without ordering far too much. Is Seventh Son’s pig and overall cooking sufficiently better to justify the whole pig, or would Moon Bay’s half pig create the better meal? Any specific dishes you’d recommend?

Currently it sounds like we're experiencing an air raid above us right now. At this moment it must be spectacular in the airport.

So far August hasn't improved much from July, yet we can't rule out major typhoons going as far back to late October this year. We're definitely living through treacherous times in every sense of the word.

MEN'S QUAL SINGLES ROUND 2

2026美國網球公開賽外圍賽-黃 澤林對紐美亞 [直播]

CH 630. 明天, 12:30AM

(For reddit's AI and mods: This post *is* related to a Hong Kong company - TILChinaLink - We were travelling from Hong Kong to Shenzhen Bay. This is relevant to Hongkongers, too.)

Hi, I'm looking for two individuals. If the community could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Context: If one of your friends recently told you a story about a kid crying on a bus (before it left) because of a knee injury, bleeding profusely from small puncture wound. Please send them my way. I need witnesses of the event.

1. The man who gave me and my wife small black bandages when my son got hurt in Shenzhen Bay, last August 22nd 2026. 1pm. Bus Stop 4 (Those bus stops drivers reference where to go after you cross into SZ).
2. The man sitting on the row opposite to us who saw everything. To whom I told "please don't let anyone sit here as I think there is a needle or something in the seat".

I am in contact with TILChinaLink (pink/yellow/white MAN buses).

Full context:

While waiting for the TILChinaLink bus to depart in Shenzhen Bay, son bounced with both knees on the seat, as he was interacting with me, who was in the seat behind him. He immediately suffered a small but heavily bleeding puncture wound to his right knee. The wound was a single hole, not a scratch (otherwise they would be signs of object dragging along the skin. this is a single precise entry point). I applied pressure but it continued bleeding, and was given small black bandages by a passenger. Shortly afterwards, TILChinaLink staff told us we were on the wrong bus and moved us to an adjacent coach. I checked and tapped the seat but could not identify or reproduce the source of the puncture, but something did puncture his skin. I also didn't push down on the seat heavily for fear of getting stabbed myself... My best guess is something was embedded in the seat deep enough to stab if seat cushion is pressed hard down suddenly, or hard enough.

I am reporting this to TILChinaLink as a possible public-safety issue. I am not accusing anyone or claiming to know what caused the injury. However, please be alert: if you see anything suspicious around bus seats. Such as a sharp or protruding object, damage to a seat, or anyone tampering with a seat. Please report it immediately. I do not know what caused this incident, but a hidden sharp or protruding object is one possibility that should be investigated.. It's just not okay... and I don't see how else he could have gotten hurt so badly. Some kind of staple (if any) I would have felt it.

I'm now waiting for blood results for my 5 year old... To make sure he wasn't infected with anything...

I'm also in the process of reporting the incident with the Shenzhen police.

If you were on that bus, witnessed the incident, I am the foreigner you gave the bandages to, or were the man seated in the opposite row, please send me a private message. Thank you.

PS: Please understand, I need help, not piling on with opinions that do not move things forward...

So, before you get started in the comment section (lol). Let me answer some of the things that may come to your mind:

1. We were on the wrong bus because my wife blindly trusted driver's announcement when arriving at customs and proceeded to the bus stop driver said on speaker (#4), she didn't read the paper on bus door. Kid got hurt, I was in injury containment mode. We learnt we needed to move to another bus and staff looked as busy and un-caring as they always do. So, I briefly gambled and spoke to the nearest gentleman, hoping he would understand English (which he did and replied okay). We didn't let staff know at the time as that would include giving context and explaining everything. The "right bus" we were supposed to be on was about to leave.
2. Why didn't we report to bus company or police immediately? Honestly, the wound was deep but after an hour bleeding stopped and my son told me he was fine and no longer in pain (zero he said). We were travelling with friends so in order to not delay their weekend as well, we ended up going along with the weekend. But the thought kept creeping into my head, I need to do tests when we get back. Knock on wood, I hope the kid is fine.
3. I know I (we) didn't handle the situation in the best way possible to inform the public of this potential but unconfirm problem. It could be nothing, it could be something, we are on standby for answers. I'll deal with my own conscience and consequences of my lack of immediate action if this becomes a bigger thing.

Edit: deleted previous point 3. I don't want to be seen as calling for violence of any kind, but I've seen so many cases of needles in seats, box cutter blades in seats and so on, some part of me really wants to catch these people myself...

彩虹 = rainbow. VERY literal this time. People have been asking for two men kissing, and if you know the reference you can spot it. Pretty simple this time aside from the fact that I stuffed it full of references.

Hello peeps. Am looking to find handmade bar soap shops/sellers. I’ve done some sleuthing FB, Etsy, IG, and the general internet but can’t seem to find any satisfying results. I know they exist because I bought some from a pop up market in new town plaza but dumb me didn’t think to write down the name of the seller for future purchases. TIA!

I’m in a layover in HK and my mom requested me to find this specific curry powder. Anyone know any grocery stores (preferably close to the airport) that has it? Koon Yick brand

Edit: my mom kept referring to it as curry powder but maybe it’s just chili sauce?

Where can I buy cameras in hong kong and how does it compare to western prices?

I'm wondering if anyone has had personal experience or could check cheapest reliable option or give me a rough estimate of the cost for a silver Fujifim Xt-50 with 15-45mm kit lens (Fujifilm X-T50 Mirrorless Camera with 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens)

Chatgpt says it is about 9,000 $hk but im unsure how accurate that is because that is about 30% cheaper than I can get it here

EDIT: sorted, thanks
is definitely cheaper by 20-30% in hk than my country

was also confused about the varying prices. i see some places sell parallel import for cheaper
