With Halloween falling on a weekend proper this year, there are already crazy parties happening, even a week before.
This pub crawl is for those of us who are introverted and prefer to chill instead. Costume is not required, I will be rushing over from scuba diving so I am most likely be dressed as the Reddit Drinking Guy.
We will officially start from Not2Sweet at 19:00, though I will try to arrive earlier.
33 Peel St, Central
Note: Their Happy Hour is 17:00 - 20:00 so feel free to arrive early to take advantage. They will have some Halloween specials as well.
At about 20:30 we go to 99 Bottles
Shop B, 59a Peel St, Central
This is a bottle shop with no food option. But there are some food in surrounding shops. They will also have some special Halloween specials.
And we finish at the Globe at 22:00
Garley Building, 45-53A Graham St, Central
While they have excellent food, by the time we arrive the kitchen will be closed.
If I don't manage to get a costume then I will be wearing Reddit t-shirts, with a Snoo stuff toy so we would be easy to spot.
Strongly suggest everyone to pay for your drink as soon as you order it. The bill often get confusing when we have a large crowd.
Please send me your whatsapp number so I can put you into the super secret elite whatsapp group.
Finally, if you had a good time please leave a good review for our venues. Good venues are closing left and right in HK and they need all the help they can get.
meetup link Please RSVP so we have an idea how many people to expect.

there is a mass disinformation and smear campagin going on across reddit / twitter against HKers, and quite often seeing the same names.
these people are ruthless and will try anything and want us to be on their level.
watch out and call it out.

It was fun, there were a lot of cool cars. The best part was definitely the end when they all started up and we got to hear their engines.

Hi everyone,
I was chatting with a friend who coaches tennis, and he mentioned something surprising: apparently a group of “hackers” are using bots and scripts to grab all the public tennis court bookings on the Smartplay app right at 7 AM. After that, they resell the slots to coaches for 200 HKD or more.
I’m not sure if this is true or just a rumor, but I’d love to hear what others in the community think.
Has anyone else come across this?

Hey HK runners, staying in mid levels for a month and wanting to get some hilly runs in, wondering if running up old peak road is safe at night (ie lighted, no wild dogs, etc). Thinking probably 10 pm or so based on schedule. Also if there’s any late night run clubs in the area would love to join!

Hi all,
Selling one standing ticket for the Weeknd on the 31/10 as I can no longer travel for the concert, reach out if interested.
Thanks,

Carl Cox, now in his 60s and still headlining marathon techno sets worldwide, is frequently asked by journalists when he plans to hang it up. His standard reply is classic:
"Techno has no age limit. The kick drum doesn't care what year you were born, it only asks for your energy."
Serious sound systems, heavy basslines, and just dancing hard. There are two killer electronic gigs happening over the next couple of weeks:
1. Bellissimo Halloween (Secret Warehouse), Sat, 31 Oct
Raw industrial warehouse energy, live sets, heavy techno, and bass running from 23:00 till late. Let's meet at the MTR once the secret location drops, grab a quick drink, and walk in together around 11:00 PM. (RA Event)
2. Shi Fu Miz 10 Year Anniversary, Sat, 14 Nov
Tai Tong Ecopark in Yuen Long, open air, noon till late. Grabbing an Early Access pass (entry before 3:00 PM) to catch the daytime sun and outdoor sets. Down to split a cab from Yuen Long MTR, grab a cold drink, and hit the grass. (RA Event)
Looking for gig buddies:
Most of my original rave friends have either emigrated or hung up their dancing shoes, but I still love driving techno, proper sound design, and being on the floor. I'm a Gen X female, and while rolling in solo is fine, catching sets with people on the exact same wavelength hits completely different.
If you have another solid underground night on your radar, let me know. If I'm free and the sound is right, I'm down to join.
Strictly about the music, good company, and dancing hard. Zero drama, no creeps.
Drop a comment or send a DM if you're heading out.

I have searched and read other posts on here but they seem a little outdated...
I have just been quoted $40k to have my 2 lower wisdom teeth extraction by Nixon Dental. There are complications - cyst, impact and roots entangled in nerves on top of that, biopsy, lab report etc. Their website states $5k so, yeah I'm pretty shocked. I'm aware the complications make the price go up but that's ridiculous!
I initially moved to Nixon because their rates seemed better than the other expat friendly dentists.
I'm open to anything cheaper, whether it be Hong Kong, Shenzhen or Thailand.
I tried Vickong in SZ and they advised me to go to public hospital...
Had a quick look at Thailand and was shocked how much cheaper it is.
I have read mixed reviews about Shenzhen. Some say good and bad things about the same places.
Has anyone have experience, contacts, advice, etc?
Thanks

I'm an international school student and want to get a part time job that I might be able to do over Christmas break. I typically have tutoring and a lot of work over the typical school week and am free on holidays.

Asking on behalf of some people. Does anyone know of legitimate and well-working online (or offline) dating platforms that age groups of 80+ in HK might be using? Or 55+ age groups? I can manage it for them to avoid scammers.
Already using coffee meets bagel for 55+ age group.
Would appreciate hopeful, not pessimistic replies.

Hi all. I’m flying to HK soon and take modafanil for narcolepsy. Can I bring a 30 day supply in the original bottle with a doctors note? I can’t find any information on it. It’s not on any of the restricted drug lists
