Photo source: me, taken last night after failing to check-in online.

Is it just me or is anyone else also getting this error when checking in online since last night?

Normally if there are addtl passport / visa checks online check-in still goes thru, but just no boarding pass. Just worried i might get offloaded knowing airlines, esp LCCs, overbook all the damn time.

I was trying to get to USA Today from my hotel and it was blocked with a 403 error. It was also blocked with a HK VPN on. I was able to get through with a VPN from another location. Is it blocked for everyone else?

I read online that the On Loan Octopus Card used by residents can go up to -35HKD in debt. Is this also true for the Sold/Tourist Octopus?

the source i found this from says the picture was from circa 1971

i would like the position of the cameraman

Hi,

Has anyone seen this jacket around at the Adidas stores? I am having my family buy one for me, but one store said it's in China only, and the other just said they dont have it.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks!

Let me explain it. The whole concept of Poon Choi is basically putting tons of difference foods inside of the dish, from expensive prawns, to the local fishballs. When I had it first time in today, it tasted like nothing else but oily that I have to cover the taste of oil with a bottle of coke. Before eating it, I thought it should've been somewhat delicious, now I know how awful does it.

where to buy cheap price of lucas papaw? below 30 hkd

Thirsty Q/discussion. Where do you think has the best draught Guinness in Hong Kong? To be clear not the can draught. I’ve had decent pints in the Mandarin captains bar (pricey), Delaney’s, white stag (Wan Chai), and more average ones in Assembly (TST), Trafalgar, pier 3 and RHKYC. Huge range in quality and price. I’d say Banyan Tree on Lamma so far for quality, price and view. Lamma actually has quite a few decent spots to split the G. But wonder am I missing an easy 5* pint somewhere. Extra Points if it’s showing the six nations.

Hi all, looking for a place to score cheap cigarettes. Imports or counterfeits are fine too. The cheapest I can seem to find is $35 a pack.

Anyone know of any good places to work from. I'm a digital nomad and will be in Hong Kong next week. Somewhere around Tsim Sha Tsui would be good but happy to travel.

I sometimes work from university libraries. They are often basically open to the public (no access control).

Anyone know of any nice places to work from?

Hello, I’ll be traveling to HK for a few days but still have to continue training. I’ll have to do 16km when I’m there and I can’t seem to find a route on Komoot or Garmin. I’ll be at the iclub Sheung Wan hotel so hopefully I’ll do a loop. Does anyone know of a route from here? I don’t know much about HK and how ‘runnable’ the streets are. I’ve asked AI to get me a gps route to turn into gpx but it seems to make me run in the water LOL. Apparently there’s this thing that HK coordinates are off by a few hundred meters for safety reasons.

Hi , Traveling to HK in mid April from NZ with my wife and 9y daughter for 3 nights. How intense will the crowds be at Disney? I took my wife there 12years ago in summer. It was nuclear hot and long cues, we didn't do a single ride. Will probably do Ocean Park also. Any tips and recommendations appreciated, We are staying in Mong Kok. I'm really looking forward to visiting again, I proposed to my wife at Nan Lian Gardens , so have a real affection for Hong Kong.

Hello all and Happy New Year

I am in Hong Kong for 3 weeks staying with my Wife’s family in MonKok.

This will sound strange but does anyone know where I can buy those sugary eggy Chinese donuts? If you have eaten them you know what I mean. We can buy them in Chinatown in UK where we live but I can’t seem to find them anywhere here! And I check whenever we pass a dim sum street shop in Mong Kok or Sham Shui Po. Any ideas?

Where could I get 50HKD bills? Do you know any ATM that give 50s? I checked some ATMs and could only get 100 and 500 banknotes

As you can imagine, I need this for the red pockets. I’ve got 20s but also need some 50s.

I am also late for going to a bank branch and try to change big notes

Welcome any ideas…

I've been to Hong Kong thrice: August 2018, January 2020, and February 2024. And each time I see less crowds, more shops and venues closed, more frowns on people's faces. CCP really sucked the life out of people here. Where's everyone going now? Shenzhen? London? Where can I find that energy again?

i’m currently not in hk, but going there soon.

I'm from Philadelphia and a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan living in Hong Kong, will be here for the Super Bowl this year and I am looking for other Eagles fans -- where will you all be watching the game?
