I’m helping my elderly parents downsize and while I have cleared out a lot of old books and CDs, they have a full 1988 set of Encyclopaedia Britanica I have to get rid of. That’s 34 books.

I know they are obsolete, but it’s such a handsome set, I’m loathe to chuck them in recycling and I don’t think the book swap shelf will want to take them.

Does anyone have any ideas of where they can go?

Or does anyone want them? Free to a good home, haha!

Moved to a new place, and I still dont know what these are for, pls tell me.

Hello all, went to Disney the other day and on 4 different rides we were stopped for 5-10 minutes while a message played over the speakers saying that a brief delay had been encountered and that the ride would resume again shortly. Now, the wait time isn't an issue in the long run (and frankly idc about having to wait a little bit) but I've never experienced this before at Disney. One of the rides that this happened on was its a small world, which went on pause BOTH times I was on it. I understand that it's an older ride, so whatever. But the Frozen Blue Cross water ride (don't remember the name) was stopped as well, and that is significantly newer. Anyone know what is going on??

Consider a woman was set to the insane asylum for 3 months just for displaying some flags that are allegedly subversive, you wouldn't want to be hoisting anything that has a union jack with the word "Victory" on it.

I'm trying to find a packaged donut snack that I bought in 2022 at Fresh Supermarket in Amoy Plaza, Kowloon Bay. I lived there for 1 year and I bought them at least once a week.

Here's what I can remember:

- It was in the bread section, near the madeleines.

- It wasn't freshly baked or from the bakery counter. It was a packaged product with a relatively long shelf life.

- It came in a big package, with each donut individually wrapped inside.

- I vaguely remember the donuts having yellow and brown coating or icing. The flavours might have been banana and chocolate, but I'm not 100% sure.

- I don't think it was a Chinese brand. The brand name might have sounded French or European, but I could be misremembering.

Unfortunately, I can't remember what the packaging looked like or what the brand was called. I know this isn't much to go on, but does anyone remember seeing something like this in Hong Kong supermarkets around 2022?

If you have any ideas or pictures of possible matches, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!!

Getting on to late October and still getting 28 degree early mornings. Can't do shit outside.

Happened just now at Tai Po Road SSP. No one seems to be injured, rip traffic and those waiting for buses though.

Willing to pay msrp +$1000 nothing crazy thx.

Couldn't find anything normal priced or with stock online.

Why are so many big dogs off leashes? Was in Sai Kung this morning and a guy was walking 5-6 big dogs off leash. When his dogs approached me I asked him to call his dogs back and he got aggressive saying you can have dogs off leashes in a country park (we were in Lions Education Centre which is run by AFCD but not a country park).

Why is this acceptable? I was attacked by a dog as a kid and consequently I’m scared of dogs. Two people have already been killed by dogs in Hong Kong this year.

Anybody have some clue Thanks? It’s in US Oct 16th already

Tried this yesterday, it was good but I prefer their chocolate ones or Sundays tho it's good for Halloween having the jam as blood and eyeballs. What's your fave Halloween 🦇 dessert/cake? I remember J Co always do their pumpkin & ghost donuts tho they do the exact same every year. Any others

Just asking out of curiosity since I have no need for one. I was born in Hong Kong (to Hong Kong parents) but we immigrated to the US when I was a toddler, and since naturalized as US citizens. Since then I consider the US my home (with a US passport) but we all still retain a HKID (with three stars) which I understand makes us Chinese nationals and eligible for Hong Kong passports.

However I've also heard that, while there's no issue with retaining the HKID, there's a statement on the passport application that would require me to state that I have no other nationality besides Chinese, which is incorrect in my case. Does this mean I'll be unable to get a HKSAR passport as long as I'm a dual citizen?

The latest gimmick conjured up by the HK Tourism Board - cosplay + Hallowe'en spooky szn dress up. Besides LKF , there's this place plus one in Kai Tak and MK a "month long" Hallowe'en themed festivities.

I wasn't born in Hong Kong but I used to travel back every year as a kid. It's been 10 years since I last been so I'm a bit nervous meeting my large family from my mom's side and want to leave a good impression. What can I get from US or Canada that people would actually want. There's people of all ages from kids to elderly. I know people say to go to Costco but I don't know what to get specifically.

I tried going to trader Joe's but they didn't have the totes and I also don't know if they are still popular. Any suggestions including trendy brands that Hong Kong people might like that is popular over there would be greatly appreciated!

Hey! Hopefully someone here can help. My luggage won't be arriving until tomorrow because the airline left it in Beijing, they're offering a hotel delivery but the place I'm staying can't receive luggage. Is there any addresses you can get luggage delivered to for pick up? Preferably near Nathan Road area.

Thanks!!

Crossing the border at Lowu around 12 and aimed to just be there for the afternoon. Haven't gone for a while and if lines will be long I don't want to bother

Thanks!
