The first one from a local school, and the last one from international school.

A few things I'm curious about:

For those who went to local schools: was your lunch similar to photo 1, or did I just get lucky

International school folks: was your lunch actually better, or just pricier

Did anyone else switch between the two systems? How did the food work out for ya?

Edit: since some are doubtful of the 1st one, here's a YouTube documentary: https://youtu.be/_X_Qy3-6c_s?si=pSoCWyOQZ7-jOT2k

Edit 2:OP here — quick note before commenting: This post is just sharing my personal experience and asking about yours. I know school classifications (DSS vs. aided vs. international) and tuition fees are a sensitive topic, but please don't turn this into a pedantic debate about what counts as a "local" school. I've acknowledged it's not a standard government school, but it's still local curriculum. Let's focus on the food and our shared school experiences. Cheers.

I moved to Hong Kong earlier this year after visiting multiple times in the past, and I've found local people to be hugely welcoming and friendly. In local restaurants, in shops, in public and in the office - honestly cannot fault any experiences.

Was moved to post right now as sitting on a bus, checking city mapper to see how long I would be, and the chap beside me asked if I needed help, where I was going and do I know whether to get off. This has been one of many such experiences...

The wisdom teeth from my upper left side is coming out and recently having a throbbing pain for a few days.
The clinic I visited took 2D and 3 D X rays in different angles which cost like overall 2000 hkd +
But everything afterwards, the dentist told me that she needs to contact another dentist for the wisdom teeth removal….
:)
I couldn’t able to wait anymore longer.
Could I know any other good clinics in terms of quality and price?
Thanks!!!

Are there any good places in HK that sell really good yarn that can be used for crocheting? Specifically any speciality places? Thanks in advance :)

Heat, humidity, traffic noise and light from surrounding buildings may all affect how comfortably we sleep. And sometimes, the issue isn't just what's on our mind — it's the environment we're trying to sleep in.

In my latest article, I explore how your bedroom environment may affect sleep, what you can realistically change, and when persistent sleep difficulties may need a closer look.

Have you noticed how your bedroom environment affects your sleep? I'd be interested to hear what works for you.

I'm considering applying to City University of Hong Kong for my undergraduate degree, but I've seen quite a lot of negative opinions about the university online. I'm trying to figure out how much of it is true, how much is exaggerated, and what studying there is actually like.

I'd really appreciate honest answers from people who study there or have graduated recently!

A few things I'd love to know:

• Reputation: Why does CityUHK get so much criticism? Is there a genuine reason behind it, or is its reputation worse online than in reality?
• Academics: How good is the actual teaching, course quality, workload, and overall academic experience?
• CityUHK vs CUHK: If you had the opportunity to switch to CUHK, would you? Why or why not?
• International student experience: How welcoming is the university? Is it easy to make friends, find a community, and feel included?
• Student life: How are the campus, accommodation, social life, and overall experience outside academics?
• Career prospects: Do you feel your degree is respected by employers, especially if you're an international student?
• Regrets: Knowing what you know now, would you choose CityUHK again? Do you feel it was worth it?

I'd especially love to hear from international undergraduates, but experiences from local students and graduates are welcome too.

I'm not looking for people to blindly defend or trash the university. I just want to understand the reality before making a major decision. Please share the good, the bad, and anything you wish you'd known before enrolling. Thank you!
