Imagine you were on a trip around HK, no specific area and suddenly your work needs you to remotely do something on your laptop. Where is a suitable spot you could go to do this?

I know some cafes might let you do this but are there any non-food amd drink spaces that would be suitable? I dont mind paying either, doesnt have to be free but I do not have a membership for any coworking spaces etc.

It's like something from an alternate universe where Ryan Adams got his shit together and became a respected artist playing with a proper band at big venues.

Not this timeline, obviously.

What is a quick touristy way to say these things in a restaurant or market/food context:

"Four people, please" (asking for table)

"Your recommendation?"

"Mild" (to avoid very spicy hot stuff)

I'm not looking for the proper Google translation but ideally a simplified 1 or 2 words that get the point across and is still polite.

Should I add it to my itinerary and what did you eat there?

The positive I hear is that it's not very touristy. The concern I have is that there isnt a huge choice of street foods?

I'm booked on LHR-ICN then HKG-LHR in December with stopover in FRA for bith.

Today both of the shorter legs got rescheduled. Anyone have any idea why? Both changes could be modified by me and I chose to change 1 of them to leave a longer transit at FRA instead of shorter (as they had it).

For both of the cancelled flights I had not prebooked seats whereas I had on the longer legs. Does that make any difference?

I'm always fascinated by info on who owns what, the stories of founders of restaurants, startups, ups and downs in the restaurant and hospitality scene. I'm not a business owner but opening a restaurant or cafe has always been a sort of pipe dream. I find little facts about the industry quite interesting e.g did you know that the guy who started Wasabi has left and founded Sushinoya? And that the Wasabi chain is now partly owned by Sushiro from Japan? Who are the founders behind Salad Project, Farmer J and Atis and why do they all have seemingly City/wealthy backgrounds? The behind the scenes stuff really fascinates me.

Is it worth making a sub for this aspect of London food scene?

​

My main concerns are: Have I accounted enough for the cold weather? Should I do either or none of the 2 main towers?

And Can you suggest anything I could add to the itinerary, keeping in mind the December weather?

Yes MJ was a global superstar on a totally different level of fame.

But the allegations against him were truly on another level too, I mean numerous kids in his bed, large paid settlements to an accuser.

But on one hand Ryan is shunned, cancelled and allegedly broke while the MJ estate just made millions from a movie and people around the world are dancing in the aisles to his music.

I guess I'm just saying isn't it a crazy contradiction we have there?

This is $5000 purely for kit. Assuming actors/locations/props/costumes are a separate cost. Using 100% natural light. Editing and post all done pro-sumer style on a computer.

I just want a grab bag that I can call my 'shooting kit' that I can grab at very short notice and make something.

For such a young player, he's doing amazing. Don't know if Tuchel's constantly being on his case is the reason but he's coping brilliantly. Love how Bellingham is supporting him too.

Edit: I was a bit wrong calling him young as he's 25

Is it just a general walk around vibe or is there a specific thing I should be sure to include? I am likely to have half a day there including lunch, although I'm thinking lunch should be at Mangwon Market.

Maybe I'm just seeing more of this content in my Instagram but it seems to be rising, which surprises me because the exchange rate seems to favour British tourism to Japan much more. Any thoughts?

Creating this as an anonymous safe space for people to share thier experiences with the Lion & Lamb owner Andre King. He has not ever been held accountable for serious allegations and accounts of abusive behaviour. He uses his venue as a playground to be an absolute creep and it needs to stop for good.
Collective pressure can make change. The power of strength through alliance is unmatched every time.

Please read these accounts. Listen to victims and take them seriously

I'm talking French or other European, and Japanese especially.

My streamer algorithms have been repeating the same types of stuff to me but I want to break out a bit and find something unexpected. I love movies the the original The Vanishing, Cache, Shoplifters, Drive My Car, 2 Days 1 Night, Personal Shopper

I have Netflix UK and Disney+ UK.

Remember when Thai was so popular, mutiple popular chains everywhere, Thai food in pubs etc. Don't get me wrong there are still a ton of Thai restaurants everywhere but is everyone a bit bored of it now? Korean seems to be the cuisine that's on the rise now.

Was walking to Tooting Market and saw so many stores selling mangoes. Not just grocery stores but people parked in vans on pavements, even a butchers shop had set up a stand and was selling mangoes! Never seen anything like it! I'm guessing they're in season?

I'm a long term user and supporter of CleanMyMac especially because of the Ukranian aspect. In the past support has been great and replied instantly.

My paid sub suddenly stopped working and I seem to have been reset as a trial user. I can still log in to my MacPaw main account and it says my sub is still valid until next year. But licence is not recognized when I try to enter it.

​

Anyone else having issues and also not hearing from Support?
