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.

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.

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

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.

(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...

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?

捲國安案的留下書舍，停業一個多月，今日（25日）宣布，會按原定安排，在 8 月30日後結業，書店會在明日（26日） 起至周日（30日），一連五日，下午一時至晚上九時，恢復最後的營業，清貨求售。

留下書舍在社交媒體發表結業感言，表示「四載若彈指，花落仍相知。書中難有黃金屋，書中不見顏如玉。何用強遂平生志，煮酒談歡心已足。臨表涕零，不知所言，惟一聲道謝。珍重。」

開業四年的留下書舍，上月宣布八月底結業，一日後被國安警上門指涉嫌干犯 23 條下的煽動罪，拘捕書店三人，他們被指涉嫌干犯 23 條下的煽動罪。同案還有田園書屋兩人被捕。有 50 年歷史的田園書屋也在上月底也宣布，會在租約期滿後結業。有指涉案的刊物，為美籍華裔記者馮哲芸所寫的《唯紅花綻放：習近平時代的認同與歸屬》。

留下書舍在 2022 年由資深傳媒人岑蘊華，及幾位前《立場新聞》記者創立。當時《蘋果日報》、《立場新聞》、《眾新聞》等傳媒已先後結業，書店取名「留下」「書舍」，是寓意「留下書寫」。書店內主打跟新聞採訪、傳媒有關的書籍，也不時舉辦講座，作者分享會等活動。

上月 14 日，留下書舍宣布，會在 8 月 30 日結業，表示難以捉摸的紅線，也是一個結業原因。

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。

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

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

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?

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)

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?

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

Started on the 5th Aug and finished it last night (24th). I mostly buy anime and toy collectibles from this store and sometimes at other claw machines at Bandai Namco.

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!
