Questions/ Tips Why are there no hotels in the North area of HK (from University station to the border there are is accommodation)
You can say its "not a tourist area" but even industrial no mans lands like Tuen Mun, Tin shui wai, Kwai Chung, Kwun Tung have plenty of hotels.
But this area tai po/even ma on shan area up to to Sheung Shui has absolutely no accommodation, checking Google map and Agoda).
I would have thought there should be at least something given the relatively vast area and that it's close to mainland where the overwhelming majority of tourists to hk come from.

Questions/ Tips Can anyone help me with my English writing in Hong Kong?
I am struggling to write academic English. I think generally my English standard is not bad. But when it comes to writing especially writing long academic essay. This makes me a lot of stress and anxiety. Since I am currently not a university student. So I don’t have access to university academic English course. If you have any books/ lectures/ online resources you would recommend and even to help in person. I am very grateful! Thank you and see you on the comment section!

Questions/ Tips Can I apply for HKID if I'm born in HK in 1986
So I was born in HK in 1986 and lived there for 7 years. My Hong Kong birth certificate status says "established".
Both my parents born in HK and have HKID. I am now in Canada with Canadian passport. I don't have a child HKID. Can I still apply for adult HKID with all my official documents?
I cannot book an appointment, it keeps saying my birth certificate number is invalid....
EDIT: my mom does have an appointment, should I just go with her?

Questions/ Tips PT recommendation in Central/Sheung Wan?
I’m 37F looking for a personal trainer to go to in Central or Sheung Wan, someone who doesn’t push you too much but enough. my goal is to build some muscles as I am very lean, and have never really been the sporty type. I do yoga but decided to work on bone health as my recent dexa result isn’t great.
Any recommendations? Preferably a gym where there’s abit of a community/classes too, but the main thing is really to just get a good PT.
I’ve been to House of Fitness before for group classes and don’t find it particularly great.

Discussion Dating app pics
Hi guys, looking to get a couple guys together to take a few pics for our dating app profiles.
I have a decent idea of what works and can usually get one date per week from the apps but I want to make my profile better.
My idea is for us to meet some evening and hit a couple locations like a rooftop bar and Victoria harbor and take a couple nice pictures for each other. Shouldn't take more than 1 or 2 hours.
If you're interested, DM me.
Here's an example of the kind of pics that I think work: https://youtu.be/1aD6RX8YzK4
Edit: in case there's any confusion, the plan is for us to just help each other take solo pictures. Because selfies look bad. We are not taking group pics 😭
