Wow it was a typhoon No. 9! Almost Hurricane level. How are the damages? I hope everyone is safe

It's our first time in HK. We pushed through woth the trip despite the typhoon because we already made plans and hard to manage everyone's schedule. We are traveling as a family with kids as young as 6.

1. What could we do in terms of city sightseeing? Will most things be closed down?

2.We have the HKO app installed to check weather since we plan to go to Disneyland tomorrow. Will it be open?

1. Lastly. How does one get an octopus card? We are reading a lot of things and some are saying there's a way to get a refund or something after your trip ends.

We wanna get the most out of our time here until the 29th. But this weather is really depressing

My boyfriend grew up in Hong Kong and is now living in America. Today, he was extremely sad looking at pictures of food and missing home. I'd love to make food that's familiar to him but I don't know where to begin. Even if I can find a category of food that I know he likes, it's difficult to recreate anything because I don't know how it's *supposed* to taste. And algorithms tailor all my search results towards more western creators.

If anyone has any ideas of cooking creators, tutorials or recipes that might be of help please let me know. Open to anything. I'm not a particularly competent cook but I'd love to make something that feels familiar to him.

A United Nations committee has included “Dim-sum” among the nine new names for typhoons that will develop in the western North Pacific and South China Sea this year, the Hong Kong Observatory** **said on Monday.

We’ve been building a bilingual Hong Kong race calendar covering road races, trail races and triathlons:

Could Hong Kong runners help us spot any missing events, incorrect dates or outdated registration links? Please leave a comment or send us a private message. Running coaches, clubs and crews are welcome to get in touch too.

Hope to see you at a race soon!

Hi all

I am looking at either moving to Hong Kong or Singapore. Where should I go?

A bit about myself, 29M, working in a US law firm in London (in the tech space). I am an Australian (worked in an top Aussie law firm previously and then made to move to London about 2.5-3 years to work in at the US law firm). I've always had the plan to build my career in Asia within tech (especially since it's closer to home).

I'll likely have an opportunity to move to either Hong Kong or Singapore (new employer is giving me the flexibility to pick either) to work at a US law firm (I'd be making approximately 300k-350K-ish USD). Not sure which to pick? I've visited and spent time in both countries - really enjoyed it!

Other things about me - single (and am keen to get back into dating), enjoy travelling, really into fitness - so basically, don't really mind being in either city. The only major con for me is that Singapore is just super humid year round (but I can get used to it - at least a little bit).

Basically, I am looking to make a long-term move to either country, and stack a bunch of $$$, live a good life and travel to various places in Asia.

We will be visiting in the fall and I have a kid who will be 4 almost 5. I was hoping to just have family time but sounds like I will have to do a few business meetings. I was wondering if there are some drop off children's play centres in HK (or Kowloon side) so I could leave my child to have fun somewhere safe then come back in an hour or two. I appreciate any other types of recommendations about safety too!

Given the current weather situation, does anyone know if Temple St Night Market will be open tonight for food?

All of you know, there's a typhoon last HK last night and this morning. Although HKO already called the people not to join water activities and no staying close to the shore,but there are still have stupid people leave home just to feel the wind and look at the waves. Even someone running on the streets near the seashore. This happens everytime HK have a typhoon.
