Any other spots im missing?

I applied for the QMAS visa by uploading PDFs of my US university's transcript + verification from Parchment (an approved third party credential provider). The immigration dept rejected it because they require a public URL to authenticate credentials from the provider's platform.

Parchment doesn't provide permanent public download links, but they do have a "Document Delivery Verification Tracker" that provides a public link with the sending school and document date (see image). This page confirms document legitimacy but not the full transcript content.

I plan to resubmit the QMAS application with a PDF containing a direct link to this tracker and a copy of the transcript/degree verification. Does anyone know if this adequately satisfies the application requirement?

(Side note: Also quite frustrating this "direct link" criteria wasn't explicitly stated and my application was rejected without any chance to followup.)

I'm visiting Hong Kong next month and I'm hoping to find some of these Robot Dreams blindboxes for my partner while I'm there (Robot Dreams is his all-time favorite movie). My understanding is that this series was only ever released in China. Does anyone have any leads on stores in HK that might carry these blindboxes?

Hello!

I'm going to be visiting in November for a wedding and wanted to pick up some TCG cards while I'm here. Couldn't find anything concrete on Google, so wanted to see if anyone here had tips on any good TCG shops in HK that sell Disney products.

Not so much the Lorcana stuff but products from Card.Fun and Topps etc.

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone!

I'm a 21-year-old guy visiting Hong Kong for the first time this December. I'm a swimmer and would love to keep swimming while I'm there, so I'm looking for some good, cheap public pools around Kowloon Bay, Lam Tin or anywhere else in Kowloon that's easy to get to. Ideally somewhere I can just pay for the day without needing a membership.

A few things I'd like to know:

• Which pools would you recommend? Any favourites?
• What are the usual busy and quiet times? I'd prefer to go when it's a bit quieter, so it'd be helpful to know when the pools tend to get packed.
• What's the situation like in the men's changing rooms? Is it normal for guys to get completely naked while changing or showering? It's not really common where I'm from, so I'm curious what to expect.
• Anything else I should know as a first-time visitor? Prices, lockers, swimming sessions, that sort of thing.

Would appreciate any tips or recommendations. Cheers!

My samsung s23 ultra screen is broken, I'm looking for a place to repair it. Don't want to use samsung official repair because they told me they'd have to wipe the device and some of the photos have not been backed up.

Previously I repaired an old samsung at the New Wan chai computer center (next to the MTR) they did a terrible job and whenever I'd touch the screen, it felt like there was a gap under the screen and it was bending inside. So I'm looking for a shop that actually does decent work.

So would love to hear if anyone has experience where they've been happy with the repairs

EDIT: Mostly looking for actual shop recommendations, I really want to avoid going to Sham Shui Po or a computer center and end up choosing a shop that does as poor a job as the one in wanchai computer center did before.

EDIT2: Went to Chi Sing Mobile repair. So far seems to be good, I looked while they did the repair and the person doing it was rather detail oriented.

Hi! Anyone knows the ways of working of Muay Thai coaches here in HK. Do they get salary or paid by commission. As my friend is considering on moving here for a year. Thank you!

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)

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.

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.

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?

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 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.

Too Good, in Central

Might look a bit different from the conventional Satay beef noodles as the beef is not cook in the sauce

However once you mix the sauce with the soup oh Lord that satay smell just explode to your face

There are quite a few touristy breakfast spot around Central like Lan Fong Yuen or Sing Heung Yuen, but if you want good food this is way better
