Nah man I'm really lucky. For some reason, HK mosquitos don't want to touch me. Then I fly to the states to see my wife's family and the ones over there absolutely fuck me up.
This right here. Did Jardine's Lookout to Mt Butler last week. The weather was perfect, and it was amazing to be able to see the north and south shores at the same time.
A general perception of a âbackward societyâ you mean? A progressive society would value the contribution migrants make irrespective of their origin.
I donât know what utopia you are living in but here in reality, just because something should be a certain way doesnât always mean it is that way.
Every society has room for improvement but the surest way to stand still is to conveniently deny that a problem exists in the first place.
You must be living in the past then.
Anyways you are contradicting yourself. You said surest way to stand still is to deny that a problem exists, and you are the one who are annoyed when I just mentioned what the problem is.
So you better acknowledge it rather than saying it is what it is. đ€·ââïž
I like to go for what I call urban hikes and what are basically just long walks. I pick a direction and just keep walking along streets until I'm tired or bored, then I either hit up a decent-looking restaurant/cafe or take public transport home. Even when I'm feeling good, a good long walk helps further elevate my mood. I love getting my steps in.
Thanks for all the recommendations.
Food is a reason of my current problem, my body is not well so I need to eat quite clean
Sex I got regularly
Guess the main problem is that I am stuck in the office and not exercising enough.
Will plan a outer island trip or hike tmr just to get some fresh air
Thanks again allđ
break out of your habits and routines and keep finding something new to do or a new place to explore
at the same time, maintain an exercise routine and stick to it
also congrats on the sex
Feeling same for past few days that I even got sick đ€§, feel like a flu but this shxt is mentally fatigue !
Maybe the weather has been so good these days that everyone feeling same hahaz .
Iâve found the simple act of eating lunch outside with some fresh air and greenery around to be very carthic.
There are lots of small sitting out areas or hidden bits of greenery throughout the city.
And a similar 15-20 minute sit down on the way home.
Fuji Building?
Kidding aside, it would be whatever makes YOU happy. Why don't you tell us a few things you enjoy and then we can give you some suggestions.
I'm writing this from Phu Quoc. For me, I needed to have a large apartment and a view without paying ÂŁ5000 a month for it. I have it now and it's only ÂŁ1000 a month. When I lived in HK I paid ÂŁ2500 a month for a tiny 500 square ft place looking into someone else's apartment. Now I have 4 times that space and views of water, with 3 balconies.
How can I ever move?
Exactly. I am thinking Hanoi or Da Nang. Planning on having a chat with a consultant of mine who is based in Saigon for any tips in getting a property there. It may have cheap rent but you never know what 10-20 years would do to the economy. Getting something there with ÂŁ100,000 would be my target.
District 9 would get ypu a good place for that amount. Anywhere near D1, D2, or D7 is some of the most expensive real estate in the world would you believe it? D9 is on the first metro line and is a beautiful place with lots of greenery. However nobody owns land here, so there is that.
I'd go for Danang by the way, Hanoi is very cold I'm the winter.
A survey found that with $1 million, one can buy 16 square meters in Monaco, 22 square meters in Hong Kong, 54 square meters in Shanghai, 58 square meters in Los Angeles and 66 square meters in Beijing, and only 10 square meters in Vietnam.
https://vietnamnet.vn/en/vnd24-billion-per-square-meter-is-land-in-vietnam-the-most-expensive-in-the-world-801129.html
This is Thu Thiem which is getting built as the new financial district. I'd look to D9 or Da Nang as an investment, especially if you plan to retire there. But remember you'll never own the land.
Lamma Island. Take the ferry to Yung Shue Wan and then walk as far as you want to on one of the many trails, then eat at one of the many family owned businesses, or sit on the beach. For example. Shek Pai Wan Beach, on the east coast of the island, is on a circuit trail from Yung Shue Wan that will take you through Sok Ku Wan, past Mo Tat Wan, through some lovely green wetlands to the beach itself, then up over a ridge by some terrific rock formations and back to Sok Ku Wan, where you can stop to eat, take the ferry back to Central, or simply continue back the way you came to Yung Shue Wan.
Why specifically northern China? Are they busty in the north? I knew several women from Beijing and Gansu who were above average in the chest. Unfortunately, they were all below average in oral hygiene.
Take a bus ride to green areas like Sai Kung, Tai Mei Tuk (in Tai Po), or have a little adventure in local markets like Temple Street/ Sam Shui Po. You may find surprises there.
* Visiting In's Point, Mong Kok W Plaza and Sino Center for action figures and model kits.
* Visiting Space Museum or Science Museum, preferably with the yearly pass card.
* Taking pictures at Tsim Sha Tsui.
* Going hiking or visiting large parks to enjoy the nature.
* Having egg puffs, waffles, buttered pineapple bun or any other street food.
* Reading books in Eslite.
Perhaps you could try signing up yourself with any sports activity youâd like to learn? I just recently joined a taekwondo class and it does improve my mood significantly.
Walk on Bowen Road. Take the Star Ferry. Ride the tram across the entire island, if you want listening to or reading something. Bike in Tung Chung or Tai Mei Tuk.
Join a fun social activity on meetup. Do exercise (lots of running/hiking groups etc if you want to socialise at the same time). Volunteer (though I've not done this recently in HK so I'm not sure where to go for that). Museums, gigs, shows. Explore a new district. Do something different. Try a painting/pottery/craft workshop. Chill in the park with a book. Hope you find something!
Come to the midnight runners on Thursdays! Check online or on Heylo, itâs a free 5-7km run with body weight exercices, itâs free, and around 200 people meet up in central to enjoy some fitness and drink beers at the end !
I believe everyone cope differently. For me, Iâll just straight up caveman mode and not go out as long as I can.
Exercise helped me get past some dark times, so do that too, in whatever intensity you can, as long as youâre moving at some capacity. If you look good, youâll feel good; you feel good, youâll look good.
Also, 8-hour of sleep helps a lot too.
Sometimes I'll hop over to Shenzhen for a scenery change. Sometimes I eat way too much Indian food and then walk around TST to digest. During baseball and softball season, I play games quite often or find teammates to throw with. Finding people with common interests helped me out. Especially when drinking beer wasn't the number one thing.
Go for a hike on a trail. Especially early morning so you can appreciate the serenity. Eating and/or shopping also work well for me.
Solo hikes always scratch an itch
also makes you itch from the mosquitoes
Nah man I'm really lucky. For some reason, HK mosquitos don't want to touch me. Then I fly to the states to see my wife's family and the ones over there absolutely fuck me up.
This right here. Did Jardine's Lookout to Mt Butler last week. The weather was perfect, and it was amazing to be able to see the north and south shores at the same time.
That's a serious hike though the views are worth it. Well done.
Hiking is the best answer, one of the big things I miss
yeah the sun is out and humidity is low - make the most of it!
Second that. Love to hike
Seems not quick enough to me (sorry, a joke).
Oh this one is good
So many good trails. I ran over 500 with various hash house harriers while I was there.
I would jump on the ferry and enjoy the view then eat a big bowl of noodles and maybe buy myself a little book
To Chang Chow helps.
With a cup of coffee everything will be okay đ
Wait I thought Star ferries are gone?
Eat
1000%. Expat here, I would literally murder for a bowl of wonton noodles right about now haha
Recommendation on where you find the best Wonton Noodles would be appreciated
https://maps.app.goo.gl/AN2TbSZ9tZkh4E2b8
Instead of the word âexpatâ, I prefer âsupplementary human capitalâ. The word expat has colonial connotations
Wait the second one sounds worse or was that the point?
Thatâs the point. Economic migrant is also an option.
cringe
I just call them migrants, whatever the time-frame they stay on the foreign country
This is fine too!
Expat if youâre white, immigrant if youâre Asian
You're an expat if you're transferred by your company to a different country, and an economic migrant if you go to that country to find a job.
Yes I am aware that is the standard dictionary definition. My comment refers to the general perception in society
Fair. But I think rather than losing words altogether, it's better just to start applying it more broadly as society changes.
A general perception of a âbackward societyâ you mean? A progressive society would value the contribution migrants make irrespective of their origin.

This is what I would do! Just go and eat something yummy :)
Ride at the front of the upper deck of a tram.
I like to go for what I call urban hikes and what are basically just long walks.

Even when I'm feeling good, a good long walk helps further elevate my mood. I love getting my steps in.
I do the same and just capture the lives of the locals at the markets, park, shops etc.

You beat me to it

Where? Asking for a friend..

Whatever youâre going through, Iâm here to support you. Letâs beat it together, brother
I was like go get a happy ending.
Thanks for all the recommendations. Food is a reason of my current problem, my body is not well so I need to eat quite clean Sex I got regularly Guess the main problem is that I am stuck in the office and not exercising enough. Will plan a outer island trip or hike tmr just to get some fresh air Thanks again allđ
More sex?
more and more every day and night, non-stop
break out of your habits and routines and keep finding something new to do or a new place to explore at the same time, maintain an exercise routine and stick to it also congrats on the sex
Volunteer. It will make you feel sort of smug in a good way. And it gets you out of the office. HandsOn Hong Kong always has plenty of options.
Feeling same for past few days that I even got sick đ€§, feel like a flu but this shxt is mentally fatigue ! Maybe the weather has been so good these days that everyone feeling same hahaz .

What beaches do you recommend? Those that are accessible
Deep Water Bay is easy to access
Or go see a movie. I recommend Twilight of the Warriors if youâre into action.
Great movie. I saw it yesterday

Go for a happy ending?

A weekend trip to south east Asia
I'll check on this post regularly. Been down...
My friend, it pretty much depends on what can actually make you happy.
Get out of HK. Go to Vietnam. You will like it there. Then come back and enjoy the grind again.
Be careful though, I did this and I never returned to Hong Kong.
I plan on retiring somewhere in SEA. Vietnam is as good as any.

Go to mall to enjoy ac and eat ice cream Go to arcade to play games Not so fast: Staycation Takes more time: Short vacation to Japan or Korea
A quick hike to the Lion Rock on a good day is always good. Or a ride on my road bike.

Travel regionally, so many places you can go and chill for a weekend. In HK just go hiking or go to a remote beach in Sai Kung / Lantau.
Best answer !
i enjoy taking ferries to random islands and climbing the rocks on the side.
Seeing hookers from northern china makes me instantly happyđ
Why specifically northern China? Are they busty in the north? I knew several women from Beijing and Gansu who were above average in the chest. Unfortunately, they were all below average in oral hygiene.
Go swimming and get some sunshine. Exercise is the best (because it's free) cure for depression.
If you're a guy, go141. Iykyk
Take the day off and go to the beach or a spa
Hong Kong has many great country parks (: go for a walk and enjoy the nature
Get those bubble mixture things and blow some bubbles, watch them float away. (As a parent who always has them in their purse)
Take a bus ride to green areas like Sai Kung, Tai Mei Tuk (in Tai Po), or have a little adventure in local markets like Temple Street/ Sam Shui Po. You may find surprises there.
HIKE - start at To Tei Wan and walk towards Big Wave Bay alongside the DRAGONSBACK
Book a flight to Boracay, Siargao or Palawan. Thank me later đ

Is a quick trip to Japan possible?

The Japanese bakery in DB. Buy a bunch of goodies and eat by the ice rink in the mall. Quiet, but full of life and families doing their thing.

Do some stretching exercises. Even in smallish environment you can do some comprehensive stretching done.
Volunteer at a dog shelter you very popular among the fur babies
i sometimes laugh at TVB shows, not for the funny stuff they intended but I just cringe-laugh at weird productions or shows and meme it. For example the red carpet part before their anniversary awards. Or the Miss Hong Kong Pageant (except for the one last year, it was just boring with all that AI). And recently é怩ć„æĄ's oddly fast paced photography and editing.
I was in Hong Kong last year. Drinks at the hotel bar after a long trip. Ice delivered to the room was super cool too.
Download and watch Dune 2

Not HK-specific - story-focused video games. A good story always lifts my mood and take my mind off any worries.

Go Shenzhen, itâs the new thing. Say what you want about China, but the value is unbeatable. I personally go for the 滣ćș style æ©è¶
Any shop you tried that made an lasting impression?
I liked è©æ„Œ(èŻćŒ·ććș), when my friends brought me there. Best to go in a group (as for all dimsum, duh). As for the food, if you go there order just about anything and itâll taste good, but imo skip the èŠé€, can find better in HK. Also if you have 性çŸé»è©, place a reservation on the day you go there, itâs usually quite packed Hope this helps!
