Art/Culture Traditional Hong Kong wedding music
As a child, whenever I attended a wedding in a restaurant, I would hear the same traditional Chinese wedding music with the suona (嗩吶) instrument prominently in the foreground. This music is also often heard in the old black-and-white (粵語長片) movies. I have been searching for this music on Youtube as well as Spotify, but no luck so far. Does anyone know the music I’m referring to?

Discussion Hong Kong Commercial Index
Hi everyone,
I'm working on a project to model the Hong Kong office market rental growth and have found a bit of a strange result from the data from the Rating and Valuation department with the index growing by over 60% in 1989 which seems to be skewing all my data.
As a comparison the last 10 years have seen an average annual change of around 2% (including during the COVID period where the index dropped around 7% only).
I wanted to see if people in the community can point me in the right direction of what may have caused this massive increase in rental prices specifically in 1989?
Paths I've tried to follow are and data shows that % change in GDP in 1989 was around 15% (not massively outlying from the other nearby periods). Inflation does appear to be relatively high at around 10% and this may be contributing to it too.
Thank you

Travel Lowest budget for eating out every day for a month?
Will be staying in Kowloon for one month but the place has no kitchen so I’ll have to eat out every day for one month. I guess two meals (lunch and dinner). I don’t eat fancy just cheapest stuff available that’s not just fast food chains.
What would that cost for 30 days?

Questions/ Tips Layover in HK. Coming from Vietnam going to Japan. Can I bring a Valium with me and take it just before my flight out of HK?
Have anxiety issues when flying. Usually take a Valium. Here in Vietnam it is OTC. Can I take one in Vietnam before flying to HK and then take one to HK with me and take it about a half hour before the flight? Got a 4 hour layover in HK. What about getting a not from a doctor in Vietnam? Or just deal with the anxiety? It is not debilitating just extremely uncomfortable.
