Excited to show you all the things Hong Kong can offer for a young professional expatriate. Canadian living in Hong Kong since 2017!
This NEIGHBOURHOOD in HONG KONG is one of the COOLEST in the world | Kowloon City
Timeout’s annual rank has named Kowloon City as one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world! It’s my second favorite after Tsim Sha Tsui. Kowloon city has a large Thai community so it’s a great place to get Thai food, Thai products and Thai massages. It is also the area where the Kowloon Walled City used to be, which was a large conglomerate of buildings that were residential and commercial. It was filled with lots of regular daily activities laced with illegal businesses and it was demolished in 1994 and a park was built to recognize the history behind it. Also, Recently there has been a lot of new coffee shops popping up. Lets explore!

What I SPEND on a typical SATURDAY in Hong Kong | Living in Hong Kong
Переглядів 4424 місяці тому
Hong Kong is an expensive city, it’s not a surprise. So how much do I usually spend on a typical boring Saturday. Well.. it seems to be HKD 486.7 or USD 62. With that, I took the train to Shum Shui Po for a one hour massage, had lunch, durian ice cream, lemon tea and got take out for dinner. So nothing fancy, like the hundreds I would spend if I went out for a nice lunch or dinner with friends....

Great content, Jess. I'm looking into teaching into that part of the world and I'm thinking about HK or China. In HK I'd only be able to rent a room. I've seen rooms on spacest. Are there any other sites you'd recommend? (I'll go binge your other content now.)

西灣河柏匯❗
Yes. I've gone to Mexico and my Costco card worked for me. It's likely the membership will work in any country. I've heard of people getting their Costco membership in Mexico and it's cheaper that the US price but the card still works in the US. I like that Costco does make adjustments to their stores as to which products to bring in. Even within the state.
Yes I used my Costco China card in canada and Taiwan and it works. Only thing is they have to key in the number as it doesn't scan. Yes Costco is amazing 😊
Thank you very much for this video, have a great day!
You’re welcome have a good day!
THEY HAVE THE COMBO PIZZA WE MISSED THE COMBO PIZZA
Enjoy your vlog. Love hk your Cantonese is good
Thanks for watching 😊
I think the escalators in the wet markets or food centres are for the elderly, who usually shop here to buy provisions because their walking speed is quite slow, so actually for their safety. Compared with the MTR stations, everyone grabs time and speeds up. That is the living style of Hong Kong.
Even in escalators in the shopping malls are quit slow too
you look divorced
Um thanks?
@@JessBeyondHorizon it's not a compliment. I'm being mean
I really liked your video. It was very informative. If I were to make one, I would not mention my mental health issues over and over.
Thanks for watching. Costco really brings the worst in you 😟
2:13 but I thought you said it was one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world 😁 I like how 大和堂 uses the traditional book binding for their menu, and their mix of traditional and modern looks really cool.
Hahaha you're right I should say it's one of the hottest neighborhoods in the world. 😂😂 Yes the Cafe was so cute! Recommend going!
I also like Kowloon City and TST. Nice areas with shopping, food and interesting side streets. Kai Tak Airport was an experience during a landing. Best of all only 5-10 mins. to my hotel however old. Like the restaurant and coffee shop featured. Walled City good riddance. Enjoyed the video thank you.
Thanks for watching! Yes I can see kowloon city change bit by bit over the years
The pineapple bun looks so tasty! Thanks for the recommendation.
Thanks for watching!
$486HKD / $70 USD on a random sat is actually quite a bit. This level of spending is not sustainable for most Americans. I guess HK is just very expensive and people there get used to it
Haha yes people do spend more in hk I noticed. Higher consumerism
Thank you for this helpful guide, but may I know if there are any security checks like emptying devices out of your bag like an airport? Great video by the way!❤️
Thanks! Yes there is a security check like at the airport. But you don't need to empty your devices.
Are there any benefits to going to Shenzhen instead of buying electronics in HK?
They have the bulgogi bake in Japan too (I'm guessing they also have it in Korea and Taiwan).
Ohh maybe it's asia exclusive!
Excellent video! I just moved to the city and these little but essential tips will definitely help me (:
Welcome to Hong Kong and glad to help 😊
Very impressive place!
thank you so much, this was very helpful as i plan to study abroad in hk when im in college
Best of luck!
How do you like the humidity in HK, are you acclimatized to it?
Noo it's still as terrible as ever
It's been awhile for a new video, but always good to see you vlogging. You're right about expensive H.K., but it's always been this way. Glad to see "locals" using the benefit of being part of the mainland and going there to shop. Remember when they would come to H.K. to shop. Things are changing. Thanks for the video enjoyed.
Good to hear from you 😊yes it's been a while. Yes it definately changed a lot since covid!
The visually impaired masseur was very good, I had a very intensive shoulder and neck massage .
My favorite 师傅 😊
Come to Europe, then you will see what is expensive. Basically, saying Hong Kong is expensive is wrong in my opinion. The only thing that is more expensive is property, meaning living space, and car fuel. Everything else is cheaper, or in worst case same price. When you can take a ride from North Territories to for example Central for some 32HKD, that's cheap, so there is no real need for a car.
True but then if you buy a car it's also 100% tax. And no way would a taxi from New territories to central be 32 hkd... It's like 100 hkd from central to eastern... But still cheap compared to north America
How much was the 1 BR apartment in Monti? That one looked so nice and specious
That 1br was for sale and not rent. But I assume it'll be around 16-18k depending on floor.
hmm thai massages or overnight massages in Shenzhen. I never done any massages in HK
Hi Jess. Could you please kindly advise the best way to get from the airport to the Hongkong west Kowloon station? Many thanks
You can take the airport express to kowloon and then walk over to the hk west kowloon station
@@JessBeyondHorizon thank you very much for your response, Jess!
How did you go about finding a place to live? i'm considering moving there but i can't find any guides online that show how to do this

really helpful as i'm about to move there in a months' time!
Thanks a lot to this video ❤
6:30 Hard to see the items because our exposure is blown out. Not sure what you're using to film but you need to adjust your exposure settings and white balance.
I lost my vlogging camera so I was using my iPhone 13
4:20 Actully half of the food court items are the same or extremely similar, hot dog, pizza, "egg roll'" with meat, ice cream, shakes - all the same.
Similar but some differences
Thanks for all the tips Jess ! I can’t wait to make it my dream to move back to HK one day ❤😊
Love your tips Jess, keep it up! Very interested what it is like to be an expat in HK. Been following you since last year. Will be coming back to HK again this year. 😁
im traveling from hongkong to Beijing tomorrow this is helpful thank you usually i travel by air but since i got bad experience of turbulence last February 😢that traumatized me i gotta use high speed train to Beijing now i travel to Beijing like 5x to 6x a year
Safe travels!
Helpful indeed, thanks! Would like to connect with you for more tips if that's possible
Sure you can send me a dm on Instagram Jessbeyondhorizon
i want to try visiting there did you join tour group? im foreigner working in hk do i need to apply visa? to china around how much did you spend going there including transportation etc.
No I went by myself. Yes you will need a visa. The train tickets here about 800 hkd one way. Spending isn't that much and hotels are cheap.
Hi Jessica, did they have frozen fruits section with frozen berries?
It was a frozen section, but the last time I checked there were no blueberries anymore 😣
Why are you so beautiful?
Dianchi lake in kunming is best ever to visit
Didn't visit but will put it on my list 😊
Hi Jess, great video. Can I buy the high speed train ticket (Hong Kong to Shenzhen) thru Alipay on the day of travel?
You can just take the east rail line to shenzhen ( lok ma Chau or Luo Hu) using the regular mtr line. But if u really want to use the high speed rail. Yes you can buy on the same day.
Very informative. Can you share also food express monthly and tax😊
sure I will do a video on it 😊
Hong Kong immigration is just so efficient. Over the river… I can‘t tell.
Looks like the train station to KunMing is just right at the same place as the china customs, right?
You mean the hong kong high speed rail is the same place as customs if so yes. The customs is not at the kunming station
Who wants to move to HK? Singapore is waiting....
Singapore with its exorbitant rent....
@@JessBeyondHorizon Singapore is also flat no hiking trails and 365 days a year humidity 80%
Why not show the gym?
I didn't stay at the hotel...
Thanks! Found your video after seeing you could book a day trip from Hong Kong just to see Costco. If we are travelling to Hong Kong, would you recommend that or do you think we should stay the night in Shenzhen?
Yes of you have time I would recommend u stay the night. Shenzhen is really big and there are some other things to do there too. But if you're just to see Costco then a day trip is fine.
The de-humidifier tip makes sense. It is humid except for winter months so yes get one. In the hotel you never think of this. Even Stanley Park in VNC has bigger trees than in H.K. Never knew about no cloths dryers. No wonder vlogs have cloths hanging in the apt. Good vlog and tips. Thanks.
Thank you 😊
Really great advice ..Hong Kong has changed since I was last there 10 years ago
Thanks for watching and your comment 😊
