I guess its because the band have the same name and it confuses the system

After Paypal, calls from unknown numbers every day now we have this WhatsApp message from a business number lol. Never click the link block and report 👍.

Hi All,

(I honestly don't know if I've worded the title correctly).

My lovely neighbours are from Hong Kong and one of their mothers' have just passed away. They'll be coming home soon, and I wanted to acknowledge their grief/situation subtly.

I've read up on Hongkonger traditons, and for how I know my neighbors, and for when I see them next, none seem completely appropriate.

I've Googled and AI'd, but they're so gaslighty and contradictory that I wanted the opinions of true HK people to ensure I'm not overstepping or being inappropriate.

I believe Baak Gam wouldn't be correct as I'm not going to the funeral, and that flowers would not be given as a gift to the family but sent to the funeral home instead. I've read about round seasonal fruit, and I know there's colours to avoid too. I'm considering tea perhaps, as it's a good go between HK and UK tradition, or should I leave them be altogether even?

Any suggestions, directions, or tips etc, is most welcome and appreciated. Thank you in advance :-)

Hello. Can anyone recommend a good gym that is affordable.

Hi everyone! My friend and I are travelling from India for our first international trip together, and seeing The Weeknd live in Hong Kong is the highlight of it. We missed the official sale and are looking for 2 tickets for Friday 30 October (standing if possible).

Checked the Hospital Authority wait times on ⁠ae.wait.hk⁠ tonight around 8:30 PM and noticed Prince of Wales is showing 13 hours, Pamela Youde is at 10.5, and Princess Margaret spiked to 9.5 hours with critical/emergency flags active.

I know public A&Es get backed up on weekends once private clinics close, but are double-digit queues standard for mid-October, or is there an early flu/respiratory wave filling up medical beds right now?

Any insight from people who've had to use A&E recently would be appreciated.

Hello all.

My wife and older teen daughter will be in Hong Kong from 12/30 for about a week. This is all of our first time in Hong Kong.

We understand that the Kowloon hotels are the typical NYE venue for dinner/dancing/fireworks, but we are hoping to solicit broader ideas for a fun evening that draws from whatever traditions (or novations) HK has to offer.

We will be staying in Central but are comfortable with public transport.

Many thanks for the suggestions!

Work advice

I know local kids are pushed to pick their own English 1st names of their choice if they don't already have one once they attend school. Are they purposefully being funny at all? If not, can't someone at school give them some guidance?

Where do people go to buy these in Hong Kong? Since I read it’s all taken by bots. I tried googling but it’s just more international sites like eBay. Is there some local marketplace?

All this for $69, you get a lot for your money. The only bad thing is it takes a while, definitely not fast food (minimum 1hr +) but this is great value for money and I believe not as much MSG as other places. On top of that I've been to a few proper hotpot places recently and it's crazy what they charge - I've paid $240+ just for the soup then you add beef platters for $350, $500 for seafood platter and not a huge amount.

Looking to understand what work opportunities exist for an Australian insurance broker looking to move to HK

Is there any one on here who has done this or can point to resources or contacts to speak to

I am just curious why so many caller, they doesn't stop even for a day 🤣, like they have hundreds of numbers? I didn't answer any of the calls and always blocked unknown calls. But this never stops every day. Sometimes 2-3 unknown numbers will call and i keep blocking them. What exactly are they selling? And how everyone is like know my number 🤣🤣.
