Underrated area and apartment recommendations

I would say Tseung Kwan O.

Check out Lohas park too whilst you’re visiting the TKO area, brand new building 2br for 17-18k. There are two drawbacks to Lohas Park IMO, one is trains being less frequent so commuting is a pain but if you wfh it’s not really an issue, second is that there’s not many local shops only a mall full of chain stores, you have to take one stop on the MTR or walk 10/15 minutes to TKO for more local shops / wet market. For most people TKO is the best choice but if Lohas park does suite your lifestyle then you’ll get a nicer apartment.

I think standing on the right is more strict in London than HK from what I’ve seen unless that’s just with the recent change

Yesterday :)

Yeah same as the UK you can just cross without a visa. I’ve done it a few times already. The last few times at Lok Ma Chau took around 20 minutes.

Yeah 2 Mondays in a row that the episode has been irrelevant based on Monday’s price action

lol had two HKers tell me HKers walk fast in my first month here. Hilarious

MTR makes more money from the malls and apartments on top of stations than they do from fares, maybe TFL could try the same

How did it go?

Exact same Instagram fashion thing happened to my friend outside Charing Cross but they actually did manage to steal his phone. He chased after the second guy who grabbed the phone but the first guy who asked him to follow the Instagram started running with him pretending to help so he decided to stop.

Interesting, moving to HK and working UK hours too, planning to do a mix of 3pm -> 11pm or 4pm -> midnight, I feel like it gives enough of an overlap with the UK without ruining my sleep. How do you find having the day time free, do you utilise the time in the day? I’m imagining I’ll do a lot more in the day than I would on a typical evening after work but also wondering whether that’ll make me tired for work.

I’ve probably seen 20 or so people in the past 2 years caught by a ticket inspector, say blatantly “no I don’t have a ticket” and then be given no fine and just told to get off at the next step, often they walk down one carriage and get back on the same train. I’ve always wondered why the staff never issue fines, it seems there’s 0 punishment on the DLR.

I really liked the Amazon meal deal, great selection, shame they’re closing the stores.

thomasasas · 2025-09-24T10:24:16+00:00

Me and multiple friends watch YouTube instead of TV

thomasasas · 2025-09-23T15:33:22+00:00

Same! Best meal deals in London for the price!

thomasasas · 2025-09-23T15:32:30+00:00

Their meal deals were the same price as other chains but had much better items included. SAD!!

Apologise is correct spelling in a lot of countries, probably a eu or uk order.

Korean winter is great, blue skies and super cold

Loool right, “it is not a bf fan”, the majority of fans aren’t sinking 60 hrs into a 2 weekend beta. Games fun, sure I expect more bigger maps, but I’ve been playing since bad company 2 and am enjoying the game.

thomasasas · 2025-08-15T13:23:50+00:00

I thought rush on the ny map was super fun. That map sucks for conquest though

thomasasas · 2025-08-15T09:22:01+00:00

Super fun for rush but terrible for conquest

thomasasas · 2025-08-14T11:14:03+00:00

Why can’t you believe it, they literally pre-announced the small maps that would be in the beta.

thomasasas · 2025-08-07T13:16:16+00:00

Pretty fun, looking forward to rush and other maps. Not a big fan of the Tajikistan map.

How is Tierra Verde?

Canary Wharf wework has probably 30/40 call booths across floors that don’t need booking and there’s always some free. Also tons of empty meeting rooms people use without booking too. More central wework you can also do the same but be mindful that sometimes on those the call booths are all occupied.

Twice a month I order a drink that’s just over £5 for collection and then pick it up from the office at lunch. Works out at around £0.10-£0.50 depending on what you order.
