Cage and Coffin Homes in Twenty Twenty-four
A recently published video by YouTuber Drew Binsky reminds the world of Hong Kong’s cage and coffin homes.
The video also captures the unique spirit and generosity of HongKongers and it’s that, that makes Hong Kong such a wonderful place.
Regrettably, the government’s planned new legislation only covers sub-divided flats – not cage or coffin homes.
8 Years Ago Today… Joseph Lau Spoke About Love
Even for Hong Kong, buying a newspaper’s front page to tell the world about your love life is a bit extreme. But 8 years ago Joseph Lau, Leun-hung did exactly that.
The advert was a blunt and informative response to tabloid speculation about the status of his relationship with Lui Lai-kwan.
Oh did local tongues wag…

Grand Opening @ King Ludwig am Meer, Soho West – 10 November, 2024
The King Parrot Group celebrated the opening of their latest restaurant King Ludwig am Meer in Soho West with a party on 10 November, 2024.
Okay, I know many of you will go ‘Soho West!’ Well, think of Sai Wan Ho’s Soho East in the West. It’s a short walk from Nam Cheong MTR, and while it is all high-rise concrete and glass… The waterfront promenade is pet friendly, faces west to catch the sunset, and even boasts a view of Hong Kong Island. You can also, sort of, walk along the water’s edge all the way to West Kowloon and thence to TST and the Star Ferry.
All in all, in a very manufactured way, it is rather a nice place to grab some fresh air – especially now you can enjoy a cold beer at King Ludwig and sit outside!
