So according to data, people in Hong kong (especially woman are #1) live the longest in the world. Yet, when assessed why, there are a lot of countries that have comparable positives like good health care - what do you think are some of the 'extra' secrets of why HKers live long?

Because though becoming old, HKers tend to be quite unhappy when looking at data. There is also 0 regulation on food pesticides here (HK is the dump place in asia when it comes to food with too many toxins: it can always be sold here, if not in other countries in asia), also there is a high import of low quality food from china.

On the other hand, one could argue that HKers tend to walk a lot (unlike countries in the US where everyone drives a car to work), we sit a lot inside but air tends to be filtered through aircons. My favorite is that some articles think it could be the tea and soup that extend the lifes of HK Woman. What do you think? 🤔

I am sick at the moment and I struggle to order pork bone soup, (the ones that are being served in restaurants for 15hkd~). Im not a soup expert but its like the soups that my chinese mom always makes, the one with pieces of pork in it and some melon/carrot. I tried googling it, but i can not read chinese so im only getting western results. I tried searching for it on foodpanda, but i can only find more expensive complex soups (double double boils?). I live in central so this is probaly not helping because there are not so many local restaurants. Does anyone (maybe that is familiar with soups in central) know how I can order this soup/tips on the name of this soup so i can search it with high chance of result? Thank you

I would appreciate advice from people who are working in a marketing job, whilst practicing buddhism to a certain degree. I find myself at continious crossroads: I agree and admire all aspects buddhism, and I would like to practice it more, but my daily job is working in marketing - specifically, social media content creation. This job is the epitome of greed and capitalism. However, I enjoy working this job, I am good at it and it gives me structure (remote work, good pay) that I would like.

I hope I can find some advice of how others are dealing with being part of the system, whilst balancing practicing buddhism.

I could really use some advice from other ftp fans... I live in Hong kong and I am seriously considering flying to the US to see a show when they go on tour. I just dont think they will ever come to Asia, and I am very afraid I might never see them again because of that. I saw them in 2017 in Europe and I just want to relive that. The only issue is, I am very low on money. A ticket to the US is like 800+ USD , should I do it? Do you think they will play more shows across the world? Do you think there will be another album release?
