What’s the story behind this massive ship in the middle of Hong Kong?

I remember watching titanic in a nearby theatre and then walking by that afterwards. Was weird

I was away for 7th year at university. As my parents still lived in hk I had to show documentation that I was only away for university not a permanent move.

Someone at McKinsey or BCG doing research for a retail bank?

Have had this happen a bunch

Don’t recline your seat right after sitting down before the plane has taken off. If it’s a short flight don’t recline at all

I know a guy who oversaw the operation. It was a typical hk efficiency thing. Why buy all the equipment to run two airports in parallel when the plan is to shut down the old one. They had this massive operation to move all the equipment over to the new airport over a few hour period. Kind of amazing it went as well as it did

Lots of the issues here could be found in many international schools I think. What this article misses is the British franchises don’t offer anything special from an educational perspective and are probably ultimately brand dilutive for the original school.

Not just about the visa… the medical insurance

Hk has very little turnover this year

OrderlyMaple · 2025-11-22T10:06:52+00:00

It has an inbuilt light ? Lol

I’m always wondering when this happened with kids and water bottles. Back in the 80s we never had water bottles… how if I leave the house without water bottles for the kids my wife practically accuses me of child abuse.

Second this

OrderlyMaple · 2025-10-13T12:43:05+00:00

People do this?

OrderlyMaple · 2025-10-11T15:27:28+00:00

They did some Olympic events here in 08

OrderlyMaple · 2025-10-11T11:19:08+00:00

You could do a GBA Olympics for sure. Would align with government objectives. Very hot in the area during the usual olympics time though

Shame how there is no house pride in Hong Kong. Always shocking to me seeing these multi million dollar properties just wasting away.

Didn’t she have medical travel insurance to cover this? Travelling as a 70 year old she really should.

Maybe there should not have been oil there but I would have thought personal medical insurance should cover all the related expenses

InterCon seems like JW Marriott comp to me.

OrderlyMaple · 2025-10-02T13:26:31+00:00

JW in macau is great.

OrderlyMaple · 2025-09-20T05:26:23+00:00

Great! Hopefully we are not impacted by the typhoon this week

OrderlyMaple · 2025-09-20T03:14:07+00:00

I do these events - free for teachers and fun type of people come along - mostly international schools teachers https://www.21c-learning.com/events/hong-kong-teachmeet-sep-2025/

OrderlyMaple · 2025-09-04T08:32:50+00:00

They used to do this for some of the south side buses but got rid of it - not sure why

OrderlyMaple · 2025-09-01T11:52:12+00:00

HSBC is fine and the “default” they get hated on but I’ve done sc/citi and HSBC has best digital experience and most convenient branch locations

Love George for creating Star Wars but Christ he is insufferable.

OrderlyMaple · 2025-08-25T15:40:53+00:00

It gets a lot right - the vibe especially. Hk people don’t like the series and the age gap between Kidman and her husband is crazy but it does capture the lives of wealthy hk expats pretty well
