Can anyone suggest some of the cheapest places to buy eyeglasses (both frame and lens). Really appreciate 🙏
Hello you all,here is something brief information about me,I am based in the Central Asia part of China where being raised and born and now visiting and studying in South China for linguistic language learning. I am determined to study and seek for job careers in ShenZhen for further education opportunity.
I know ShenZhen where many local people they were immigrants from mainland China and less locals may speak Cantonese but understand some. Though I have a great interest on Cantonese since films and songs were spread widely during my childhood,what else is,I am amazed by personality and charisma of people who speak Cantonese since they are the way easier to make an acquaintance and hang out with.
So I wish I could find any people who kindly serve me for any supports and tips here. I would be really appreciated.
Thank you.

I keep seeing this ad for a cream on the MTR but I don't know the name of it. In the ad a girl gets scratched by a cat and then she hurts her finger whilst doing her nails. I want to know the name of the cream TIA!
Anyone know if there is someone or some place where I can take bass guitar lessons in English. I’m too crap to learn on my own.
My iPhone is about to bite the dust and I was wondering how easy is it to switch phones? Like can I just pop my sim into a different phone or do I need to go into the store and have someone do it for me? I’m a year in on a three year unlimited contract if that makes a difference. Im also keeping the plan, but not the apple device, just haven’t decided what phone yet 😅

Hi, I’m in Hong Kong this week for work and my beard trimmer is broken. I haven’t seen any shops that would be likely to see one. Can anyone recommend anywhere please!?

Hi there, I recently picked up the ommi care nail trimmer from Aldi in Australia. It is one of those electric nail files that spins.
Im in desperate need of replacement attachment heads and was hoping to pick some up in Hong Kong when I'm there in a few weeks.
Do any locals know if this particular brand/product is stocked at the local beauty stores? Pic attached of the product.
Thanks in advance!
As the title says, looking for a 2 bed apartment/ hotel for a 1 week stay in late 2025. Ideally Central/Victoria Harbour/Tsim Sha Tsui area. Struggling to find anything! booking.com has a couple but l'm finding hotels don't seem to advertise 2rooms on there and fed up of trawling through every hotel website .... Thanks!
My Girlfriend spent a lot of money on buying two ocean world tickets for me and herself. We were so excited to go today. We entered, roamed around and after getting to Thrill Mountain, we saw all the rides were suspended because of "T3". The saddest thing is, there isn't a single dark cloud, no warning posted outside of Ocean Park entrance even that rides were going to be suspended. It feels extremely unfair because we were going to the first amusement park in 4 years. I want to know if there's a way of getting refund because I have been trying to call the office but because of the line being "busy", I am not getting through. I really want a refund because I am not being able to ride on a SINGLE ride except watch some penguins. Any advice?
I have a 6 hour layover and hope to pop away from the airport long enough to have one truly amazing meal. I love dim sum, spicy foods, noodles, hot pot and just about everything else. It will be my first time in Hong Kong, so something locals love would be amazing. Even better if it's close to a site with historic or cultural relevance and easily accessible via public transit from the airport.
I won't have long enough to fully enjoy the city, but any tips on how to spend a couple of hours would be amazing. I can't fly halfway around the world and not eat something I'll think about for the rest of my life.
Does anyone know how/where I can find the Chinese edition of Why Does He Do That: Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men by Lundy Bancroft? It is a book that many people who have been in toxic relationships have found useful and has helped them leave said relationships. I'm currently visiting HK and want to get it for my mom, who is currently in a bad situation. It's hard for me to talk to her about it, because she always makes excuses for the other person.
I'd prefer Traditional Chinese, but Simplified is ok too.
Alternatively, if any of you have recommendations of books on similar topics (abusive relationships, personal boundaries, toxic people, etc.), I would love to know of them. Thank you so much!
What is Hong Kong Baptist University like for a non-religious person?. Does the uni require any religious classes? How open is the uni and student body to differing opinions?
