Home of the snowy mooncake shuts its doors.
New HSR destinations coming in July.
Updates from The John Lee Show.
And some HKers grabbing a Kiwi Golden Ticket
All this and the rest of Tuesday’s news that matters 👇
1. Another day, another catering chain shutters, this time Taipan.
The writing had been on the wall for quite some time.
2. Tuesday is The John Lee Show, and he handed out some awards…
… and gave an update on Hong Kongers stuck in the Middle East.
3. A new spat between the HK government and the US Consulate has begun after the Education Bureau allegedly warned schools about participating in July 4th celebrations.
Via SCMP: This comes after it was reported that schools had recently received “friendly reminders” from the Education Bureau’s regional offices, warning that students taking part in Independence Day events might be at risk of violating national security laws.
4. As mentioned yesterday, the fear of a Japan “mega quake” by Hong Kongers is evident not only in airline passenger loads, but in the number of arrivals into Japan.
In May only one market was down, and it was down by a whopping 11.2%.
Meanwhile the Japan Meteorological Agency has had enough of the rumours. And a timely retweet by the HKO.
5. New destinations for the HSR starting July 1st.
6. Swimmers at Deep Water and Repulse Bay take note.
Press release here.
7. And finally, interesting data out of New Zealand, with Hong Kongers the third highest takers of the new visa system.
