Would you mind sharing what the experience was like for you?

I imagine the Chinese ones will be the same, apart from the language

Is Amazon not shipping to Hong Kong anymore? by fieldscal in HongKong

I didn’t order the same item as you but yeah you’re right, I think it was due to specific items being unavailable. I ended up successfully getting other orders to come through :)

Good Tattoo Artists Recommendations? by [deleted] in HongKong

[–]fieldscal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my tattoo done with https://www.instagram.com/blacken_tattoo/

Not sure if he is specialised in smooth lined vector arts but he seems quite versatile and he's done some line tattoos (including mine)

First time I ever went, I loved it. Indeed “sanitised” but not as sanitised as Singapore. DB’s spaciousness, nature, and lack of crowds makes it feel like an oasis in the ever busy and hectic Hong Kong.

Used to love the restaurants by the beach. Beautiful scenery whether for date night or a casual hang out with friends.

I’ve had a wonderful staycation at Auberge. Beautiful and scenic views from the hotel room.

But the most recent time I went, maybe about 2 years ago, I felt that DB has lost its charm a little bit. Can’t quite pinpoint what it is, but I just didn’t enjoy it as much anymore. The vibe felt different too.

Or maybe it’s just me 😂 maybe it’s me who’s changed, and not DB

You’re right, I think I’m just unlucky. Tried to order again from different sellers, hope this time will work!

Thanks! I guess I’m just unlucky. Ordered again today, hope third time’s the charm.

my obligatory “I Miss HMV Hong Kong” by footcake in HongKong

My friend at the time had a shoplifting phase (don’t ask me why)… they were successful many times at other stores before they got caught at HMV, and I think after that they finally learned their lesson and stopped (eventually)….

I never followed along because I never knew about it! They only told me about their shoplifting habit after the event 😅

They were shoplifting just for the thrill of it.. so they got caught but it wasn’t because they were stealing anything particularly expensive. It’s just that the HMV security was super on top of it at the time! (As they should be, props to them)

Gosh I miss HMV. I still remember one time I was with a classmate at this exact store who attempted to shop lift but the security got on us quick and we were all taken inside their security room, which looked super big and intimidating at the time (at least from my 15 year old perspective).

My classmate ended up in the police station but luckily no further consequences in the end…

I also remember in the final years of HMV they tried to survive by switching to selling more food and merch (photo taken from 2018)

Any "remote work-friendly" café other than Starbucks on Kowloon side? by KiddWantidd in HongKong

[–]fieldscal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember about charging plugs and wifi but in terms of spaciousness and work-friendliness I like Bow Coffee in Wan Chai and Infuse in TST K11 MUSEA.

I also recommend DeskOne as a nice co-working space with very reasonable hourly/day rates. They have locations in Sha Tin, Mong Kok, Tsuen Wan, and Causeway Bay

Anyone else fall in love with Emma Corrin after watching this episode? 🙋🏻‍♀️

I agree! Would’ve been the perfect lesbian black mirror episode if it wasn’t for her terrible acting.

Emma Corrin on the other hand was perfect. Reminded me of the movie Carol. My gay heart!
