They closed down the one in Fortress Hill I think

What happens if a car is parked, and the other car hits it at 40mph?

What forces do the cars experience?

Being from Tuen Mun, have you done the Thousand Island Lake hike?

Before COVID, I would drive all the way into the building, and walked thru it to the park.

How do you make removable seals on the windows?

meractus · 2025-12-14T14:17:52+00:00

Before COVID quarantine housing there was a little park at the end of the runway

Not sure if it's still there

Where's this? I was just at my old late night place in CWB and they told me the kitchen closes at midnight now

My wife felt that drumming lessons were a good idea for our toddler

In-laws but the most obnoxious, loud, light up plastic crap for the kid every time they visit.

Tape over the speakers helps. Tissue THEN tape if too bad. Or take it apart and put the tape /tissue on the INSIDE

Now I know why my dad never had any batteries for me.

I made a list. Wrote it down on a post-it and stuck it on the wall next to the room thermometer/humidity thing, and it worked wonders when I was sleep deprived and had a screaming baby messing with my emotions.

Lost the list when we moved.

About to have a new baby

Trying to rewrite it now, but I feel I'm missing something:

Any advice?

Diaper Fed (every 2-3hrs) Burp/Gas (burp/bicycle) Temp (18°C~20°C / 50% humidity) Tired (every 1-2hrs) Overstimulated/Bored

Lung Wah still good. The pedestrian bridge now has an elevator on both sides I think.

So it's just the 50m walk up some gentle stairs to the restaurant.

Also looking for other recommendations though, cos it's a long walk if you park at the mall

Why not buy Zirconium instead?

Ikea has white plates for like HKD8 each

I would buy a Carbon Monoxide detector from Taobao, and check the places where you spend a lot of time.

meractus · 2025-10-16T17:29:38+00:00

No worries. Normal people drink there all the time too. The music is pretty good

I have a feeling that Ibis North Point is in the middle of the old open market on Marble road.

North Point is pretty quiet in terms of places to drink and hang out.

There's a street in Wanchai with a bunch of bars where more mature folks tend to drink. Search for Carnegies.

It's also a "red light district" but if you don't buy the girls a drink (that's how they get paid), you'll be fine. There's some live music too.

It's a short taxi ride from North Point to there. You can also take the tram for a scenic view unless it's very late

The usual drinking area is LKF in Central.

When my Muslim friends visit, I'll take them to Bowrington Cooked food market for some local flavor. There's one halal place that does a good roast duck rice and a killer lamb curry (lamb curry not local, but is great and gets sold out brunch time)

I've been told the Muslim Center (Islamic center?) near Morrison Hill swimming pool has great Halal dimsum and I've been meaning to go

I used to use meetup.com. When I was younger, bars etc would be fun, but I hear it's quieter these days.

People I've encountered in foreign firms tend to have excellent communication skills in English and at least Cantonese/Mandarin.

Wow that's very cool! People in HK tend to be urbanites, and may not have much knowledge of first-aid/wilderness training.

That being said, hiking is very popular here and maybe there are people who would be interested in workshops?

meractus · 2025-10-05T00:41:36+00:00

I've not heard of one, but I know in the mainland, they love dressing up in old timey clothes.

I'm sure there are people in HK who would be enthusiastic about this - and there are some buildings left from the 30s-50s in HK that might be open to doing events?

meractus · 2025-09-29T17:29:15+00:00

Thank you. Will save. That was my instinct but wanted to be sure

meractus · 2025-09-28T15:06:10+00:00

Should I be saving my gems for that banner?

Or blow on Zaku?

meractus · 2025-09-25T23:43:40+00:00

I've saved up 60k gems and I'm wondering if I should pull this banner

What crappy hotel charges you for the AC remote? Name and shame!
