working in HK
Hi all,

Just recently moved to HK for a new job at the TST area. I would like to meet up the local FT members, if anyone is free. I remember meeting kaka from FT few years ago in Kowloon, not sure if he is still around.

I did it at the FourPoints at Tong Chung, very quite and peaceful. But no heating in the room makes it very cold during some days...

That was what I was going to do when it was 14 days and in a suite, but when it became 21 days had to change to save cost.

Cost me about 20K HKD for 21 days. They added 7 more days the day I left YYZ without notice . I find most hotels are around the same price.

I ended up at the Mira Moon in CWB - today is my 20th day. Was around 31k for 21 days, not too bad and the room has heat and AC

If you're still interested in a meet we could organise a FT HKG yum cha for the first time since 2019.
