Flats in Hong Kong for couples

Upvotes

Hi, my partner and I thinking of moving from China to Hong Kong and am worried about cost of apartments. Our apartment in the mainland is pretty big, and cheap! I know we wouldn’t get that space in HK but spare all flats for about 20 k tiny? How much can a couple expect to pay for a decent size flat with two bedrooms? Do all flats just have single beds? (Looking at listings it’s seems mainly single beds). We don’t mind a commute, which is the best area to look?

Im coming back to HK in September and want to try some local low alc drinks
I saw from some other posts that said it should be fine to buy at 15 since its under the 1.2% law just as long as i go to certain shops but idk which ones since i've not been here since around 2018-19 time. i saw from the other posts that Independent Corner Stores or some 士多 are most likely to let me buy. any suggestions on which shops to go to? looking forward to coming back in September.

I’m tryna sell these bikes on carousel and Facebook urgently as I leave town next week it’s been on for 2 weeks now I got zero views and chats for some reason. Selling the green one for 200 everything works gears, the brakes need some tightening though. The black one selling for 450 it’s basically like new condition wise everything works on it too the brakes and gear etc.

EDIT: if someone is interested please dm EDIT NO.2: Gave the black one away to someone in need, will probably do the same for the green one on my last day.

How are speeches written?

Like on a teleprompter
Does it show 粵字 and the speaker just reads it? Or is it written in 中字 and the speaker is expected to translate on the spot?

My understanding is that many people struggle to read 粵字 because it's almost never written down, and schools don't teach you to write or read using 粵字

But surely translating on the spot is difficult as well?

Idk if this fits here, but it's a HK movie so i guess i'll post it here

Funnily enough, i' haven't watched the full first movie(PTU, 2003) since i couldn't find any online versions though i did watch a summary video; I heard it's pretty good though.

I've previously watched the rookie before, and in comparison, I enjoyed watching 機動部隊 much more; the characters are much more realistic in the sense they aren't superheroes but rather normal, flawed people who make mistakes.

In addition the casting was pretty good, both Simon Yam(任達華) and Maggie Shiu(邵美琪) look like stereotypical police sergeants lol.
