I can pinjam you my HKJC account if you want to bet....if win we split 50-50....hahaha.

Hahaha......I left JP for HK already.

I am not too sure as I am not here long. But I think it will be hot but not as hot as Japan though. And it has been raining quite often and in fact there was a typhoon yesterday as well

Physically I also migrate liao.

Do see it from the TV but so far people around me no impact.
You dont even see alot of people wearing mask unlike Japan.
But of course any wahere you go you need to take precautions (not talking about rubbber... )

Dont worry too much lah.....just practice precautions. Remember to buy insurance. GP here will cost you about HKD300

Weather here really sucks though. Raining and if not damn hot...

There was another typhoon with cat 8 yesterday. First time in dont know how many years two big typhoon hit HK. Things not that bad in HK as most tourist spot are back to normal, though there are clean up of falling branches that are still ongoing. Most places impacted are residential place that are near coastal area rather than tourist spot.

AFAIK its open. When it was Cat 10 last week, I also went out yum cha.

I am staying in Kowloon and the shop is just next door. Just a short walk across the street. In HKG nearly every estate have their own small shopping community which tourist seldom goes to.

You can try a restaurant call Paradise Dynasty. I like their Sioa Long Pao. They have a branch in Tokyo as well which I think its very nice. However some of my colleague says its so-so only. So really depends on person I guess. If not mistaken its a Singapore company.
Besides that cannot really recommend as I am not a foodie and I mostly eat salad.

At my age, you have to eat to stay healthy. I still need to get use to the amount of oily but delicious food here!

Dont mean that I ONLY eat salad. Just that it is basically my main staple. I still love meat especially "siew yuk" which I miss a lot while in Tokyo but just have to not over eat.

Another typhoon is on the way this weekend.....not sure how strong though.

Actually not that bad lah, except for HK Island. In Tung Chung (TC) you only have TC line. If you want to go MOngkok and dont mind walking about 10-15mins, take the TC line and stop at Olympic. To TST, just change at Lai King and it takes about 45 mins. If you plan to go Island, just stop at HK and take bus/tram or other lines.

YOu can download the MTR Mobile as well to plan your trip. It can cost you somewhere between 9 -15HKD. If you cross over the island its definitely much more expensive. Once you get a cross, the trams are cheap - HKD2 per ride

Normally it will be very expensive during CNY as a lot of Chinese tourist coming to HK. On the other side a lot of Hongkies will take this chance to travel abroad. Not only HK, but in anywhere around the world, if its peak period, the earlier you book the better. The same as well for air ticket. Of course there is a very very small chance you might get a room, but i very much doubt so.

Uber is available and will be cheaper than taxi. Also you get better car, like tesla. Havent taken one before but my colleague coming from Europe have taken it. He says its much better than taxi, esp if you cannot speak Canto/Chinese

Thats what my colleague told me but I cannot really verify as I havent taken UBER before even though I have been here for a year. As for your hotel, where is it located? Sometimes its cheaper to take the Airport Express to Kowloon and then take the free shuttle bus to your hotel. You can get cheaper ticket in Klook as well.
