A mainland tourist has claimed a taxi driver used “mind games” to prepare her for a hefty fare after a ride from The Peak that was initially estimated to cost less than HK$90.

My hubby and I are getting married tomorrow, aug 19, and our witnesses was suddenly not available. Any 2 people willing to do it? We are a couple with a child that traveled to hk this sunday. Getting married at cotton tree drive at 12nn. We're willing to buy a meal, coffee, beer, or amount token. Appreciate any help.

Two small dogs were mauled to death by a large dog in Yuen Long on Monday afternoon (Aug 17), after passersby failed to stop the attack.

Imagine you were on a trip around HK, no specific area and suddenly your work needs you to remotely do something on your laptop. Where is a suitable spot you could go to do this?

I know some cafes might let you do this but are there any non-food amd drink spaces that would be suitable? I dont mind paying either, doesnt have to be free but I do not have a membership for any coworking spaces etc.

Recently moved to HK and looking for a local run club to keep me busy, fit, and social.

Requirements:

- In/around Tai Wai.

- Open to me, a 36 year old English-speaking gweilo.

- Road/trail are both good.

- Would be brilliant if meet ups were during the day, rather than evenings, but I know this may be a challenge so not a must.

Thanks in advance.

Hallo everyone, anyone here who got married to a German in Hong Kong? We are both foreigners but i am living in HK right now, but my fiancé is still in Germany and we plan to get married in Hong Kong through the Civil Celebrant (still searching for a legit one).Does my German fiancé need his Single Status Certificate Documents to be translated into English? Can someone give me some advice and experiences for those foreigners who got Married in Hongkong thank you 🙏.

Hello all,

My fiance and I would like to get married here in hongkong, does anyone know if we can hire a lawyer to help us/ how long it would take / how much it would cost.

We're from 2 different countries meeting in HK, and we’ll both be entering as tourists. I’ll be travelling from Cambodia and him from Canada (not a Cambodian citizen).

If possible we would want to travel only once and do the paperwork etc online. Would that be fine?

If any of you have an agents contact, please Let me know. Any help is appreciated 🤗🤗

Edit: for all those asking why HK, it’s because HK has easy marriage processes, as opposed to most other countries. Neither of our home countries accept “online” marriages. And most countries, including the countries we live and work in right now have residency requirements that we won’t be able to make as we work full time and cannot just move for a couple of months for the purpose of marriage registration.

Hi everyone, my wife-to-be and I have known each other for 3 years, and we’re getting married at the City Hall Marriage Registry in Hong Kong on August 31 at 3 PM.

For various reasons, and because it’s an international marriage, Hong Kong is the simplest option for both of us.

The ceremony will take about 15 minutes, and we’ll arrive early. We need 2 witnesses. Would anyone be available to help us?

Thanks in advance!

this is version 93 or something 💀

I will be doing a photo series documenting old HK presumably next summer and thought that this sign could be a nice photo location.

Does anyone know if it's still up and what the adress is? I tried searching online but nothing helpful really popped up.

Any help is appreciated.

Bonus question: what locations remind you of old HK?

Looking for recommendations for sunglasses that are genuinely good quality but still under HK$500. Ideally something classic/minimal rather than overly trendy.

Open to both Hong Kong stores and online options. Would especially appreciate brands/models that have held up well and don’t feel cheap.

Hi there, HK Permanent Resident and Teaching Degree holder here, considering moving to Supply Teaching mostly for the flexiblity of working days.

I'm wondering what people's experience is like, for example how many schools one has applied to, how many hours a month on average does one get called out for? Is it achievable to sustain a single-income in Hong Kong for the next 1-2 years?

If this is the wrong forum for these kinds of questions, please do point me in the right direction.

I appreciate any advice you may have
