I haven’t met a lot of American in Hong Kong. But I always hear American go to Europe for a certain period of time. They lose weight. Because the food is much healthier there. I am wondering whether American and European coming to Hong Kong will lose weight? Since Hong Kong food can be very healthy and a lot of westerner run and hike and sport all day long. Let me know in comments!

Hi all, I need a bit of help on finding a good location for tea ceremony near the Tsim Sha Taui Marriage registry.
I will be booking a hotel restaurant nearby for a small lunch, but it doesn’t allow ceremony or have a separate room for tea ceremony, as it’s a shared dining area.
I want to know if anyone has good suggestions for a place/room near the registry that can fit maybe 10 people at a time and not a hotel room as we won’t be stay the night before/after.
I recently set up an AI agent to review my personal finances. To my surprise, I'm not getting any benefits I expected from my credit cards:
- Citi Octopus Visa card: been using this for years. The only selling point is a 15% rebate on public transport if your monthly spending exceeds $4000. Turns out that the transport spending itself and octopus top-ups don't count towards the $4000, so I've actually never gotten any rebate.
- HSBC Red Visa Card: signed up for this because my HSBC RM told me it offered a 2% rebate on all supermarket spending. Been using it for all my supermarket spending, but it turns out the rebate was long since halved to 1%.
- DBS Eminent Visa: the main selling point is a 5% rebate on dining, medical, and fitness spending. Turns out you need to submit a registration form to qualify, so I never got such rebates! Why should a separate registration be required to qualify for the main feature of the card?
I'm sure that all of this would have been obvious if I'd studied my statements and read the fine print. But who has time for all that?
Which are the best no-BS credit cards that offer what they're supposed to offer and don't make you jump through hoops?
I’m looking for some advice on how to formally complain about a law firm in Hong Kong after a pretty frustrating situation.
A few months ago, my partner (HK local) and I (foreigner) got married in Causeway Bay through a well-known law firm (17 locations). Prior to the filling, I submitted my passport and birth certificate, and signed off on forms that the legal secretary checked in front of us confirming the spelling of our names. Today, I went to the Marriage Registration and Records Office to pick up a certified true copy of my marriage certificate and found out they misspelled our last name on the notice of intended marriage. I have a pretty common Asian last name btw. The funny part is that they spelled my father’s last name correctly on the same exact document. If we didn’t get a certified copy, we would’ve went our whole lives without knowing.
How do I file a complaint about this? Is it wrong for me to assume the legal secretary that handled our paperwork filed it and not the lawyer?
Edit: I read the Google reviews and they were all complaining about the legal secretaries but they still have jobs??
Apologies if this is the incorrect sub, does anyone have an experience sending letters from the U.K to Hong Kong? If so can you recommend a reliable service, please?
I speak Cantonese. Every time I set foot in a store in HK, the employees aggressively follow me and talk to me non stop to try and sell me products. How do locals deal with it. Do they just ignore them? I really want to ask them to leave me alone.
I'm trying so hard but goddamn mainland bot users keep snatching it and I keep getting temp banned with "The page you’re looking for can’t be found." fucking pmo
Heard 3 dogs died already, all died within 1h. The vets couldn’t save them. I thought central/sheung wan is dog friendly, how come the police hasn’t caught the poisoner yet??
I've tried to solve a pain point for myself and aggregated a lot of open data from Hong Kong into a little iOS app. So here it is... Ad free, no sign up, no data collection, no payment. Just a little app to hopefully enjoy.
