So higher rates of northward passengers than southward ones…kinda symbolic, lah?

You know, their existence comprises one of HK's daily life's essential aspects, better or worse.

However, I don't guess their presence on this subreddit is as large as in HK's reality.

Doesn't any one of them stay here? let's chat.

You know, Chinese vernacular feasts look very exotic for expats, even for southeastern asians.

Do you find them very attractive, or too foreign to take for yourself?

The essence of my plan is shown in the OP, but I'd like to listen to your counsel.

I'm from Tokyo, Japan, and I'm planning to visit the western europe from 11 to 22(the period is subject to extention and contraction…f*ck Japan's holidays customs)

My route consists of these cities/regions, currently.
-Amsterdam
-Brussels
-Paris
-Mt St Michelle
-Lyon/Marseille
-Côté d'Azur

Is my 12-day trip too busy or not so bad? which spot in particular is recommendable from your own experience?

thanks!

(some premises)
- I have a few friends of mine, living in Amsterdam, Brussels, and Paris, respectively.
-The latter two of them have generously offered to accommodate me for nightstays. The Paris guy lives near the Tour d'Effel.
-I'm a railfan and also susceptible to carsick, so I prefer to ride Trains(TGV? bravo. TER? très génial!). Bus is ok but taking one for long would lead to being ill. driving myself isn't in my bucket list unfortunately.

I'm a male Japanese who is considering a trip to the Schengen area(Benelux and France) this September(maybe 11th to 22nd). However, ETIAS is supposed to be implemented within 2026.

I read Japan's MoFA site on ETIAS and they say it's expected to be applicable in 4Q of this year.

So…am I exempted from this duty for this trip?

Well, in these conditions where EU's new entry programmes are bringing about some turmoil, its inauguration might be postponed to as late as possible, but I just want to conform.

Ah was she present at ACGHK? great

This is Japan's fast-developping fitness gym franchise chain, and I read that this has been being rooted in HK for a few years.

I'm thinking of getting on a service from Tokyo to Paris via Guangzhou with the layover there(around 5 hours).

On googling, I found some ambivalent opinions on its customer experience…attendance, foods, interior facilities, seat gap, and particularly other passengers' noise(you-know-what).

Have you ever tried it? is it really a good value for price or unworthy, or does the price represent its quality?

Well…as compared with Cathay's offer between those two cities for around 220,000 yen(it's already been quite discounted for their brand, though), the OP's airline's return-ticket for 130,000 yen is ground-breaking.
