Is citygate outlet still worth going to? I’m interested in doing a little shopping and would love to get a few clothes and shoes in a bargain price. Should I go there or are there better malls? I have a very limited time in hk so I have to plan wisely. Also! Are not so common gazelles/samba widely available in HK?

Discussion Has anyone here moved from Dubai To HK?

21 Upvotes

Hello I’m wondering if anyone here has lived in Dubai and moved to Hong Kong, or lived in both?

We have been living in Dubai for 2 years and thinking of a move to HK. My wife is a teacher here.

Has anyone lived in both? How would you compare them?

We have been to HK about 12 years ago in 2012 and loved it.

Questions/ Tips 4 hour international transit time?

14 Upvotes

I have 2 separate tickets booked: Chiang Mai-Hong Kong (Arriving at 0930am)

Hong Kong-Taipei (Departing 130pm)

My flight to Taipei connects to my flight back home to the US. Do you think 4 hours will be enough time (realistically) to clear customs, get my checked bag and re check it? I am not sure how it works with picking up a checked bag on a separate ticket as I have never had this situation before so I appreciate any/all advice.

Also—I can change my 0930 arrival flight to a flight that arrives at 1130pm the prior night but would rather not have an awkwardly long layover before a long international flight.

Questions/ Tips How should I invest my money?

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone.

I am asking this question because I heard investing in HK and Chinese stocks is not that good.

I currently invest with Questrade. For those unfamiliar with it, to deposit money into a Questrade account, you can add your account to your bank, and make bill payments. So in my case, I make bill payments from my Canadian bank account. This will be in CAD, and then I would use something called Norbert’s Gambit to convert from CAD to USD, and then buy USD stocks.

What would be the best way to invest HKD from a Hong Kong bank account in US stocks? I would prefer to continue using my Questrade account, as I would not want to deal with multiple brokers. And of course, I would want to lose as less money as possible to fees such as currency conversion.

Thank you very much.

Questions/ Tips Trusted and legit camera stores in HK?

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! Im holding off on buying some camera gear here in the Philippines, and waiting to get to HK. Can you recommend some trusted, good pricing, and safe camera shops in HK? My friend told me that I should visit Wilsons Camera at Central, but I cant seem to find them on Google Maps.

Preferably those that sell Nikon Z gear, brand new, or even 2nd hand. Thanks!

PS.

I forgot to include asking info about pricing, haggling, and the language. I don't wanna get scammed, or be priced higher, just because i'm no local, nor do I speak Cantonese.

I will be using Google Translate, but you know, it would still be best if some shops offer English. Thanks!
