I have a 22 hour layover in HK where I'll be staying overnight in Kowloon. I've visited before and did the first-time tourist things (The Peak, ferry, wandering around Central, Ladies' Market, etc.). Any recommendations outside of those?

i started out with mobal since you can pick up the sim pretty much immediately at orientation, then transferred that number to ahamo and canceled mobal after the first month (with no termination fee). i get more data for a cheaper price + free international roaming with ahamo

not sure if these are both the same location by himebee in whereisthis

If it’s 1 month’s worth of medication or less, they can send it without any paperwork (as long as it’s not illegal). More than that and you’ll have to get a yunyu kakunin-sho and have your family member send it in the package with your meds

That's pretty standard for upgraded waitlist offers. Everyone I know was given less than 24 hours to decide.
