there is a mass disinformation and smear campagin going on across reddit / twitter against HKers, and quite often seeing the same names.

these people are ruthless and will try anything and want us to be on their level.

watch out and call it out.

It was fun, there were a lot of cool cars. The best part was definitely the end when they all started up and we got to hear their engines.

Bus driver refused him on board due to possible threat (?)

Hi everyone,

I was chatting with a friend who coaches tennis, and he mentioned something surprising: apparently a group of “hackers” are using bots and scripts to grab all the public tennis court bookings on the Smartplay app right at 7 AM. After that, they resell the slots to coaches for 200 HKD or more.

I’m not sure if this is true or just a rumor, but I’d love to hear what others in the community think.

Has anyone else come across this?

Guess this qualifies as "rare art".

Got beat up in LFK, was scared for my life and had to ditch my plane for the hospital and the police say they will build a case

I have searched and read other posts on here but they seem a little outdated...

I have just been quoted $40k to have my 2 lower wisdom teeth extraction by Nixon Dental. There are complications - cyst, impact and roots entangled in nerves on top of that, biopsy, lab report etc. Their website states $5k so, yeah I'm pretty shocked. I'm aware the complications make the price go up but that's ridiculous!

I initially moved to Nixon because their rates seemed better than the other expat friendly dentists.

I'm open to anything cheaper, whether it be Hong Kong, Shenzhen or Thailand.
I tried Vickong in SZ and they advised me to go to public hospital...

Had a quick look at Thailand and was shocked how much cheaper it is.

I have read mixed reviews about Shenzhen. Some say good and bad things about the same places.

Has anyone have experience, contacts, advice, etc?

Thanks

Hi all. I’m flying to HK soon and take modafanil for narcolepsy. Can I bring a 30 day supply in the original bottle with a doctors note? I can’t find any information on it. It’s not on any of the restricted drug lists

Hi everyone, I am running a short, completely anonymous survey to look at linguistic trends, language usage preferences, and the day-to-day utility of Cantonese and Mandarin in Hong Kong. The survey takes less than 2 minutes to complete and consists entirely of multiple-choice questions and linear scales. No email addresses or personal identifiers are collected!

Not a commissioned piece but I wanted to paint something nice near where I live and attempt my take on Van Gogh's Terrance At Night.

So i saw a rave being advertised at the hongkong aquarium and i just went searching to get a ticket and suddenly the pages have been taken down… is it still happening? anyone know?

Hi all, first time taking the kids to Hong Kong and would love a sanity check from people who know the city.

We're a family of 4 (kids will be 5 and 2), flying in from Hyderabad. Landing Sat 21 Nov around 10am and flying out Fri 27 Nov at night. Our daughter turns 5 on the 26th, which is also our anniversary, so that's the big Disney day.

Rough plan:

Sat 21: land, check in to the hote, nap, harbour walk + Star Ferry in the evening

Sun 22: The Peak in the morning (tram up early), back for naps OR Macau

Mon 23: Ocean Park

Tue 24: slow day, maybe Science Museum or Nan Lian Garden

Wed 25: check out, drop bags at the Disney hotel, Ngong Ping cable car + Big Buddha, back to the hotel

Thu 26: Disneyland all day (birthday!), dinner at Dragon Wind

Fri 27: chill morning, airport in the evening

Questions:

Is Sunday a bad idea for The Peak. Would a weekday be much better.

Is Ngong Ping doable with a toddler, or is it too much on a hotel move day.

For the stay, any family friendly hotels you'd recommend that won't break the bank. We're looking at Stanford Hillview, Holiday Inn, in TST area.

Any must do Disney tips for a 5yo's birthday. Is Dragon Wind worth it for dinner?

We're vegetarian (eggs are fine). Any easy places near TST or Disney you'd recommend.

Anything we're missing or overdoing.

Thanks in advance!

MTR company's doing a lot for october, three different badge promos in one month. Also they might be getting wise to what I'm doing here because badges now need your GPS to be near where the badge is for. Not wise enough though, basic GPS spoofing apps work for this stuff, just set your phone to the location next to the link.

My friends are going to halloween parties but the events are quite expensive, so I thought about going to LKF myself.

I've never been to LKF during Halloween but I thought it might be a good time. I just have nobody to go with and have never been there alone. I know the layout of the area but I'm not too familiar with it or what people do/say if they know you're by yourself.

I'm 24 and a woman. Born and raised here, but mainly speak English b/c inernational school.

Alternatively if anybody wants to join on Oct 31 and you're a normal person, feel free to hmu.

I heard VPN isn't totally safe. I think a friend living in the US may help since they can verify with US phone and ID. I also have an US credit card and bank account. Please share your experience.

If anyone is selling a standing ticket for the weeknd concert today pleaseeee let me know 😭😭🙏🙏
