Hello redditors of r/HongKong! I’m traveling to HK for the first time in December and am eager to experience TCM as I’ve never tried it, in way that is culturally enriching / educational, hopefully fun, and also beneficial for my health. I saw a youtuber who went to a city in Mainland China where she showed a shop where you could tell shopkeeper about your health concerns / needs and they would make a custom tea blend for you, you could also drink some there if you wanted. I’m wondering if Hong Kong has anything like this that would be friendly for an English speaking tourist. Thank You!

Looking to understand what work opportunities exist for an Australian insurance broker looking to move to HK

I am interested in working in finance (HF ideally) in Hong Kong once I graduate. I have received offers at both Rotman School of Management and Ivey Business School. I am having trouble deciding on which to choose. I would love to hear input on this.

Would like to reference post showing gecko on Gsrdens Company bread.

For Many Muslims in HK bread plays important role for morning meal, afternoon, evening daily.

The question now is what bread can Muslims eat now since other seems not to have Halal certificate?

I am just curious why so many caller, they doesn't stop even for a day 🤣, like they have hundreds of numbers? I didn't answer any of the calls and always blocked unknown calls. But this never stops every day. Sometimes 2-3 unknown numbers will call and i keep blocking them. What exactly are they selling? And how everyone is like know my number 🤣🤣.

Looking for two tickets! I don’t want to test my luck with viagogo or carousell.

All this for $69, you get a lot for your money. The only bad thing is it takes a while, definitely not fast food (minimum 1hr +) but this is great value for money and I believe not as much MSG as other places. On top of that I've been to a few proper hotpot places recently and it's crazy what they charge - I've paid $240+ just for the soup then you add beef platters for $350, $500 for seafood platter and not a huge amount.

Hi, does anyone have experience of hiring a part-time domestic helper? Someone who doesn't live with you, and works only maybe 4-6hrs each week? Looking for suggestions/advice. Many thanks

[EDIT FOR CLARITY] Not looking for illegal options. I am looking for someone who can help stay on top of my housework, part time. That person would need to be able to work legally in HK.

Is there any affordable way to get vyvanse? I have a diagnosis and prescription in the UK, but am struggling to get hold of it living in HK. I'm have an appointment with HA public pychiatrist in a few months but I can't wait that long (and they even said it wouldnt be vyvanse that they would prescribe anyway).

I'm willing to pay the fee for a consultation with a private pyschiatrist, but my worry is that after that the actual cost of the meds will be too expensive. Does anyone know which private pyschiatrists charge what for vyvanse here? I'd be willing to pay up to 1K per month, but obviously would prefer lower.

Im live in the states and want to buy a msx 125 in hk to ride around in when visiting..is this mini allowed to go through the tunnels? I know you can't ride on the highways but idk if tunnels are considered highways. How do people from kowloon get to the hong kong side on a mini? By boat?

Or if anyone has tips on helping me find salons online - please 🙏 I really want my hair done for my birthday when I’m there

A few things worth checking out around town this week if you're after something to do.

Butterfly Patisserie has a Les Choux pop-up on Wednesday, Oct 14, good excuse for an afternoon treat if you're near the area.

Over at Sotheby's Hong Kong, Chestnut Trees in Blossom opens the same day, Wednesday Oct 14, a nice one for anyone into visual arts and happy to browse for free.

WKCDA Tower is also running the Synchronicity Exhibition from Wednesday Oct 14, worth a look if you haven't been to the tower space before.

If you're shopping around Causeway Bay, SOGO has a Cup Of Therapy pop-up on, and New Town Plaza has a stamp rewards market running too, both good for killing time and maybe picking something up.

I applied for the QMAS visa by uploading PDFs of my US university's transcript + verification from Parchment (an approved third party credential provider). The immigration dept rejected it because they require a public URL to authenticate credentials from the provider's platform.

Parchment doesn't provide permanent public download links, but they do have a "Document Delivery Verification Tracker" that provides a public link with the sending school and document date (see image). This page confirms document legitimacy but not the full transcript content.

I plan to resubmit the QMAS application with a PDF containing a direct link to this tracker and a copy of the transcript/degree verification. Does anyone know if this adequately satisfies the application requirement?

(Side note: Also quite frustrating this "direct link" criteria wasn't explicitly stated and my application was rejected without any chance to followup.)

Tai Po Football Club on Tuesday said it has mutually agreed with player Gabriel Mesquita to terminate his contract with immediate effect.

The Brazilian had been suspended from first-team training since Monday for allegedly sending racist messages on his social media account after being provoked by a comment.

Writing on social media, the club said its Disciplinary Committee completed its investigation and internal proceedings in a fair and objective manner, during which Mesquita had the opportunity to state his case.

The club added that it maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy against racism and improper conduct.

The 19-year-old midfielder made two appearances for Tai Po since joining the club this summer.

報導中的受訪者接受了香港媒體的公開專訪。在香港法例中，「推廣或便利收受賭注」屬於嚴重罪行。

• 任何人在香港（包括在香港網絡上）宣傳、招攬或分享網上賭場連結以便利他人投注，即使該賭場在海外合法註冊，在香港均屬違法。

• 雖然純粹「分享自身經歷」與「推廣招客」在法律上有灰色地帶，但如果言論被視為意圖美化、誘使或便利他人參與非法賭博活動，警方亦有權介入調查。

受訪者提到每月收入高達6位數，且有大量賭客直接打賞的資金。

• 如果她將這些在海外工作賺取的資金（特別是源自未經香港批准的網上賭場不法利得）匯回香港的銀行戶口、在香港清洗或購置資產，不論該賭博活動在當地是否合法，在香港都有可能觸犯《有組織及嚴重罪行條例》中的「處理已知道或相信為代表從可公訴罪行的得益的財產」（俗稱洗黑錢罪），最高可判監禁14年及罰款500萬元。

《星島日報》旗下節目《星島申訴王》，今日刊登一篇「獨家專訪」，訪問一名「港女大學生」，分享早前到柬埔寨園區工作的經歷，「搵命搏月入 6 位數」。

相關報道在網上引起關注，有網民質疑，報道中提及柬埔寨詐騙園區、網上賭場等違法活動是變相推廣網上賭博，甚至懷疑報道是鱔稿、即軟性廣告；目前相關報道已下架。

根據有網民 backup 該篇專訪的內容，訪問自稱大學畢業後，希望「賺快錢」主動到菲律賓、馬耳他擔任網上賭場荷官，最後更前往柬埔寨的詐騙園區，在當中擔任網上賭場的荷官，收入十分可觀，除基本人工加上打賞，月入達 6 位數。

樂瞳又在訪問中稱，自已並非身處 KK 園區，她個人有人身自由，但當地確實有治安風險，每日只出入宿舍與公司，外出要由公司安排司機接送。

星島：柬埔寨園區好好賺 港女月賺6位數

今年27歲的樂瞳，在香港一間大學畢業後，經同校師姐介紹入行，從事網上賭場工作。這種個案，在香港相信十分罕有。樂瞳說她當初有跟家人解釋過，自己不是做什麼偷騙拐騙，或者見不得光的事情，「對於我來說，這就是一份工作，一份做直播的工作。」

不少人畢業後，都會找一份正當穩定的工作，但今集《星島申訴王》主角樂瞳，直言因為想賺快錢完成去外國學做甜品的夢想，大學畢業後先後去了菲律賓和柬埔寨等國家的賭場，任職網上百家樂荷官。年輕漂亮的她主動去園區工作，會有什麼遭遇呢？她接受 《星島申訴王》獨家專訪時，娓娓道來。

今年27歲的樂瞳，在香港一間大學畢業後，經同校師姐介紹入行，從事網上賭場工作。這種個案，在香港相信十分罕有。樂瞳說她當初有跟家人解釋過，自己不是做什麼偷騙拐騙，或者見不得光的事情，「對於我來說，這就是一份工作，一份做直播的工作。」

跟客聊天打好關係 靠打賞收入豐厚
樂瞳報稱在海外做了5年賭場荷官，首兩年在菲律賓馬尼拉，第三年去了歐洲的馬爾他，而最後兩年就在柬埔寨，「其實你做這一行久了，慢慢會認識不同的荷官，因為荷官圈子很細的。」她說之所以會去柬埔寨，是因為之前工作的前主管拉攏她過檔。

雖然同樣做網上百家樂荷官，但樂瞳透露，每間賭場都有不同的發牌規矩，「不同賭場，他們有不同的發牌手勢，有些是兩隻手指發牌，有些就會用四隻手指。另外莊閒發牌次序也有不同，有些是一邊先發兩張再到另一邊，有些是梅花間竹地發。」

除了發牌，作為網上荷官的樂瞳，還有一項十分重要的工作，就是要隔空和賭客聊天交流，務求打好關係，吸引賭客多點上網下注，「其實我們這份工作，就好像那些什麼真人直播一樣。」她說每天工作8個小時，通常發牌和跟人聊天1小時後，會休息半小時至1小時。

做荷官除了基本人工，賭客的打賞，都是主要收入來源，「有些客人對我很好，例如他一鋪贏了5萬港元，他會分一半給我。」樂瞳透露每月的收入，人工和客人打賞加起來有6位數字港幣，但拒絕透露實際金額。

對於網上賭場的公信力，外界一直有很多疑問。但樂瞳強調她做過的賭場，據她所知都沒有出老千。那麼有否見過賭客，輸到傾家蕩產呢？「見過，有些人第一注是1萬，輸了後第二注是3萬，再輸第三注是7萬，以一三七的模式（俗稱『賭纜』）去投注，但他總是買莊開閒、買閒開莊，就這樣輸了巨款。」

園區治安欠佳 不敢獨自外出
樂瞳透露，她在柬埔寨工作的賭場，真的位於園區內。那麼是否不聽話，就會被人電擊的KK園呢？「不是所有園區都是KK園區，我有人生自由，不是被禁閉的。」她強調護照是自己保管的，沒有被「賣豬仔」。

身在香港接受訪問的樂瞳，提起柬埔寨的生活，總是很輕描淡寫；但當記者追問之下，她承認柬埔寨園區的確治安欠佳，她一個女孩子絕不敢獨自外出，要去就相約多人同行，並需要安排接送，「我那時在柬埔寨的生活，就是兩點一線的，公司和宿舍，好像一部賺錢機器，每天都是上班賺錢。外出就會叫公司司機，跟司機說要去按摩、洗頭或做指甲，都是點對點的。」

雖然做網上荷官收入豐厚，但半年前樂瞳終於決定辭職，另覓出路。她解釋，假設網上荷官這工作的限期是35歲，她現在還可做多7、8年，而且還可賺多一點，「但這7年是我的壯年，我用來做我想做的事，說不定成就更大。」另一個辭職原因，是樂瞳已經完成她的目標，儲夠錢去歐洲進修。較早前，她已遠赴法國讀了一個甜品課程，正計劃開甜品店。

5年的另類工作，令樂瞳可以追求理想。惟她在訪問期間，多次強調不鼓勵其他人學她在東南亞園區打工，畢竟那些地方治安太差，人身安全難有保障，「我沒事安全回來，不代表其他人都這樣。有時候命運這回事很微妙，萬一你出了意外，你的心肝脾肺腎被人取走了（就很慘）。」

大家對於樂瞳的選擇和經歷有什麼看法？有否試過遠赴外國，做一些離奇古怪的特殊工作？歡迎留言分享。

Hi! Anyone knows the ways of working of Muay Thai coaches here in HK. Do they get salary or paid by commission. As my friend is considering on moving here for a year. Thank you!

My samsung s23 ultra screen is broken, I'm looking for a place to repair it. Don't want to use samsung official repair because they told me they'd have to wipe the device and some of the photos have not been backed up.

Previously I repaired an old samsung at the New Wan chai computer center (next to the MTR) they did a terrible job and whenever I'd touch the screen, it felt like there was a gap under the screen and it was bending inside. So I'm looking for a shop that actually does decent work.

So would love to hear if anyone has experience where they've been happy with the repairs

EDIT: Mostly looking for actual shop recommendations, I really want to avoid going to Sham Shui Po or a computer center and end up choosing a shop that does as poor a job as the one in wanchai computer center did before.

EDIT2: Went to Chi Sing Mobile repair. So far seems to be good, I looked while they did the repair and the person doing it was rather detail oriented.

I only just found out FlyTaxi was shutting down when I got this SMS today, apparently just months after Uber bought them. Last time it was HKTaxi, and now it seems they're doing the same to FlyTaxi.

OG HKTaxi was great and honestly it's been a lot harder to get a taxi reliably since Uber bought them and shut them down. Uber Taxi is just an inferior and less reliable product compared to HKTaxi, and I'm not even considering the higher prices I end up paying via Uber

I mean I realize industry leaders buying out smaller rivals to quash competition happens all the time but this seems a bit too anti-competitive and is clearly bad for consumers
