@@ReubenCharles hey man, you can get me at @jonnyzaka

@@MyBrokenPassport cheers man, followed

Hey! With a Masters and six years experience it should be very easy for a company to hire you and apply for your visa. Once you sign a work contract with them they will apply for the visa on your behalf. Should all be pretty straightforward - you just need to get the job offer first!

Hey, you mean a taxi in Macau, or a taxi taking you from Hong Kong to the Macau border crossing? In Hong Kong, once you get past the flat fee of the metre the fare does increase every few seconds (you hear the meter beeping). I only really use taxis for short distances, any journey more than a few minutes I check the price on Uber first as this gives you an idea of how much the journey should cost whether with Uber or in a taxi.

Hey! I have good news for you... apply for a dependent visa through your wife, this enables you to work in any job or go self-employed here in Hong Kong (potential employers won't need to go through the hassle of applying for a visa for you). It will be 1000 times easier to get a job once you're already in Hong Kong (I know from experience). Imagine you're the recruiter in a company and you have 60 qualified applicants for one position - the first thing you're going to do is bin anyone who isn't already living in HK because there's a risk you go through the whole hiring process and then they decide not to move here). Also, if you're working for one of the 'Big 4' they probably have an office in HK - have you checked if they can transfer you? If that doesn't work out try the banks. I know an American guy doing marketing for one of the big US banks here. It will be a lot easier than you think 🙂

That’s one way of doing it! 😀

There is no hotel in sheung shui. The closest one is Hyatt Regency Sha Tin at University Station which is only about a 15 minute train ride from Sheung Shui. The train is very frequent and costs HK$6.5.

@@rabmos8320 thank you for your reply . I will try to search any accommodation around sha tin station till find a fit flat in Sheng shui . Might I ask other question please .

@@rabmos8320 i am a civil engineer and my project will be a road project near sheung shui. So please what is best way to find a flat as It is my first time come to hong kong. Mainly that I search for a temporary rent first till my 3 month probationary period finish

Will that be all the time or only a special for this week? Maybe they’ve higher mark ups on McCafe Coffee 🤔

@@MyBrokenPassport they're pricier coffee from what I gather. I'll be in Hong Kong next week. Will be able to check it out by then and see if there is a difference from whatever McDonald's Canada is serving

@@tinlunlau1 McCafe coffee here is actually pretty decent. If anyone asks me to choose between Starbucks and McCafe, I’m going with McCafe every time !

@@MyBrokenPassport but people in Hong Kong are always in a hurry to enjoy a rich roast of coffee. We just want it quick and cheap. Lol

@@tinlunlau1 especially when most people here are starting work so early in the morning!

Hey Gareth, long time no see! TBH I’m still a massive fan of char sui fan (bbq pork rice), or dimsum like char sui bao and turnip cake. Gotta’ love some Hong Kong style French Toast as well! 🤤

Haaa! Those were the days mate. We had no idea how life was going to pan out. Really enjoyed being home this time actually. Hopefully bump into you sometime I’m back!

Absolutely, the infrastructure for dealing with such storms is great. As soon as the winds died down yesterday the emergency services were out clearing roads and cutting down damaged trees. The city was back to normal very quickly.

Mangkhut was a few weeks after I moved to HK. What an introduction ! Thankfully this one wasn’t as bad as that.

Thanks man, it means a lot 🙏🏼 I guess everyone has reasons for leaving or staying. How is everything at your end?

I love 'char sui bao' and 'lo bak go' !

Wow, back twice a year was good going. It’s important to stay connected to family and friends. I’m glad you’re enjoying being back in HK! Thanks so much for watching and sharing your story 🙂

Thank you so much for the kind feedback Kenice! Yes, I guess it's an ongoing struggle for many people, torn between two places.. 😟

I guess the ironic thing for you is seeing so many Hongkongers moving to Canada! Another of my friend's just moved there last month.

@@MyBrokenPassport I know right? Apparently it's never been easier and inexpensive to emigrate to UK or Canada than right now. So I guess they are taking advantage of the situation in case the policy changes in the future. We already hold foreign passports, so we can afford to sit on the fence and wait it out.

@@Ed7501 That's exactly what my friend said! It's sad to see so many friends leaving, but I hope to make a success of it 🙂

There is a high chance that most of them will move back after getting the passport. Neither the UK or Canada can offer what Hong Kong can offer: convenience, low tax, safe, food options, affordable fresh produce and dine-out options, weather being decent for most part of the year and proximity to top travel destinations like Japan and Taiwan

@@lebbeus agree with this, especially the low tax, low crime and ease of travel. Not sure about the affordable fresh produce though, think the UK wins that one, especially for dairy products!

Hey Ed, I worked in the music scene in the UK for about 12 years before moving to HK. Getting a bit old for it now but still love to fire on some of the old tunes every now and again. There's a decent amount of small events popping up here but it's nothing compared to Europe. It's one of the things Hong Kong is really lacking in my opinion.

Wow, hadn’t heard about this one! Thanks for the info.

Hey, what type of jobs have you been applying for? Most sectors hire year round, though some, like education and aviation, have cycles. Nevertheless, you’ll find it much much easier once you’re already in Hong Kong!

Hey, long time no see! Thanks for checking in with the new video. There’s more coming very soon 😀😀

@@MyBrokenPassport thank you, take your time!

Ahh, so many scam phone calls every day! That’s why I never answer my phone when it rings 😄

Sometimes you just don't have a choice 😆

Thanks for watching and commenting Billy !

Thanks! Just took a little break 😃

It was great Colin. Will have to get back when the weather is a bit better! Plenty of islands still to explore.

Very good point. One of my friends does exactly this. I've been enjoying living in the city, but as you say for those who prioritise space a village house is the way to go! More space but less convenient.

Hey, you can send a DM to my Instagram account (MyBrokenPassport)

Thanks dude. From Belfast though 😄
