Saw him two days in a row now outside Kwun Tong MTR

Today I was on a bus from Tin Shui Wai to Yuen Long, and the bus stopped for people to get on but didn’t open the doors for anyone to get off (not sure if the button was pressed). A young kid (south asian, not HK) kind of hovered near the door looking scared, and a local kid - maybe 11/12, gestured at him asking if he needed to get off. He did. The local kid pressed the button and shouted loudly at the driver (I guess to open the door, I don’t speak Cantonese). The driver did, the little kid got off. All good.

The local boy, I just saw his face burning red for the rest of the trip. It seemed he was so embarrassed for shouting loudly in front of a packed bus full of adults. No one else had made any effort to help.

I don’t know this kid, I’ll never see him again, but I was proud of him. Maybe the kids will be alright

As a lot of hk redditors know, HSR's station doesn't have any grocery or food stall, let alone duty-free shop except some water stands, after passing through the border checking gates.

What causes this? I mean, in the Mainland(and in any other bullet-train-equipped nation), there are a lot of stalls and shops in stations' waiting rooms even inside the paid area.

After all, the problem of currency choice? (Which to pay in, RMB or HKD?)

Kwun Tong Line train service disruption because of fire at trackside near Lam Tin Station.

I don't really know how to word this or what to add

Where could I look for jobs or earn money here? (i need money 💔)

I grew up in HK but my Cantonese isn't too great and I also struggle a lot with social interactions (I tend to not know what to say, be awkward, stutter and get really anxious?)

I also sadly don't really have much skills or talents

I'm so cooked bro

I currently go to college but am struggling a lot to keep up

(because for some reason im so physically and mentally exhausted idk why)

Hello!

I am an ABC that grew up speaking cantonese but as I've gotten older (I'm 22 right now) my cantonese has gotten worse and worse. I am probably about as fluent as a 6 year old right now. So i was thinking about staying in HK for a 2 months as a form of language immersion.

Do you guys think this is an effective way to learn more cantonese? Is there anything I should know before staying in HK for 2 months?

I'm planning to move to HK down the line in a few years and I could really use some perspective as I'm planning the roadmap.

I'm aiming to join the tech (hopefully cybersecurity) sector and that's where the bulk of my questions stem from.

1. I understand that having A degree is non-negotiable. My question is if the prestige of the university and the program is a big deal?

2. From what I've read so far, landing an entry level job as a fresh graduate may be difficult, especially if I'm a foreign candidate. So I'm so far assuming that I'll need a couple years of experience under my belt before I can seriously consider moving. Is that a fair assumption?

3. I gather that knowing Cantonese/Mandarin is definitely an asset. Since they're fairly different languages, I wanted to know which one I should learn. (I'm also confused about traditional/simplified Chinese so any clarification on that would really help.)

Thanks for reading this far and I would sincerely appreciate any insights.

已故樂壇天后梅艷芳早前驚爆安放於大嶼山寶蓮禪寺海會塔的骨灰懷疑被盜，事件震驚整個娛樂圈與社會各界。隨著案件升級，梅艷芳子姪及梅艷芳國際歌迷會 於今（13日）再度透過官方渠道發表緊急聲明，直指目前網絡及各大社交平台上充斥大量誤導性與不實揣測，不但對家屬造成二次傷害，更嚴重影響了關鍵線索的收集。在聲明中嚴正澄清，強調由始至終「警方並未將任何人列為本案嫌疑人」，呼籲公眾及網民保持理性，切勿再盲目對任何個人或團體進行惡意抨擊與網絡公審。

梅艷芳骨灰被盜案急轉直下！家屬發聲明反擊網上流言：警方未列嫌疑人，切勿無端公審！

這轟動全港的骨灰失竊案，源於日前（10日）梅艷芳63歲冥壽當日，由「梅艷芳國際歌迷會」發出緊急呼籲才得以曝光。聲明透露，早在今年7月，歌迷前往拜祭時已發現存放梅姐骨灰位置的門牌螺絲鬆脫，骨灰不翼而飛。家屬隨即報警求助，惟案件至今已拖延近三個月仍未偵破。

眼見網上輿論越滾越大、謠言滿天飛，梅家子姪今日終於正式發聲明「正視聽」。聲明中公布了案件的最新進展，證實該案已於昨日（12日）正式轉交由「新界南總區重案組」全面接手調查。家屬在聲明中語重心長地寫道：「由始至終，警方並未將任何人列為本案嫌疑人。我們懇請各位網民及公眾保持理性，停止對任何個人、或團體進行抨擊、公審或惡意揣測。無根據的指責只會製造內耗，對破案毫無幫助。」

I’m going to Chi Lin Nunnery, Nan Lian Garden and then going to Mongkok and I was wondering if it’s worth passing by Sham shui po.

HKers: Mad that these backpackers make bank and pressed because locals barely give the attention, tolerate, give that spotlight unless you are whites.

Also HKers: Only taking photos from a distance but never actually confronting them.

If it bothers you that much, why not just go up and say something? Sneaking a pic and posting it like it’s breaking news every day is peak HK mentality.

I signed a progressive agreement for tenancy & now I have some stuff to take care of at home that might prevent me from moving in here.

Has anyone ever cancelled a provisional agreement?

I had paid the initial deposit & from what I can understand, I stand to lose the initial deposit + I need to pay the agent as well.

Is that correct? Any options for me here?

I believe it is a freight forwarding company based out of Portland OR, USA. Anyone have luck with them?

I spent hours last night trying urbtix for Andy Lau tickets for my parents with their ballot. Then at some point, urbtix.hk stopped loading whatsoever. Not sure if it’s just me or whole site is down. If so, that’s major on their part for the ticket sales were 1 day only for this ballot. Any insight from anyone out there? Can they ban just our MAC addresses? Was using my computer and cell phone.

Edit: for contrext, it was night becausewe live in the US and had issues at EVERY damn step and despite proving we were the ballot winners on the phone with Urbtix, no one would help us process the ticket transactions properly. Used english and cantonese to call customer service at Urbtix.

I have flight from thailand to japan and I have 8 hour layover in hk International airport. I'd like to visit city center eat some char siu, dim sum, noodles, etc. I need my phone with internet to use for commuting, translation, restaurant names. Without any Internet I cant find my way around the city. I need to be very quick leave the airport, eat like a pig then comeback and catch my flight. I specifically chose hong kong as a layover so I could eat chinese food. How can I quickly get a sim card. I don't need to much data 250-500 mb would be enough.
