For many families in HK, securing a place for their kids at primary schools may be one of the more challenging obstacles they’ll face. With a large number of children applying for the limited number of school slots you will probably find this a somewhat tiresome endeavour. But, don't despair; you just need a little patience and perseverance.The demand is seemingly forever increasing for English-medium schools, which run under the English Schools Foundation (ESF), the Independent Schools Foundations (ISF) and the long established international schools including Australian International, German Swiss International, Kellet Schools and Hong Kong Academy, to name a few

Even with three days of gloomy weather hanging over the festival like a wet blanket, Clockenflap was the place to chill last weekend (Nov 28-30). Billed as Hong Kong’s biggest outdoor music festival, it featured a stellar line-up of headlining acts this year, including: Chvrches (UK), Mogwai (UK) The Vaccines (UK), Travis (UK), Kool & The Gang (US), Rudimental (UK), Tenacious D (US), The Flaming Lips (US) and Deserts Xuan & Algae (TW).

For several weeks, thousands of protesters have been occupying major roads and paralysing traffic in Admiralty, Causeway Bay and Mong Kok, demanding for the 2017 election for the city’s top leader to be free of China’s influence.

Four weeks in and Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement, a protest of unprecedented scale that first started as Occupy Central, is still going strong. What began as a week-long boycott of classes by thousands of university students in late September evolved quickly into a full-blown city-wide protest, as thousands of protestors took to the streets to demand universal suffrage from the Chinese central government.

Fire Dragon Dances

The Mid-Autumn Festival is so much more than eating mooncakes and spotting rabbits on the moon! This year, we took a trip to Tai Hang and Pok Fu Lam, where they host the most spectacular fire dragon dances, to see the shows first-hand. The dances, which boast traditions that stretch back beyond a hundred years, are an integral part of Hong Kong’s cultural heritage and a definite must-see experience you should mark down in your calendar for the next year.

Will Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade devolve into a scene ripped right out of “The Walking Dead” on Oct 2? We very much hope so… and when the zombie apocalypse does happen, we can blame it all on Arthur Lin, the founder of Action X. He’s bringing Run For Your Lives (a zombie-themed 5K obstacle course) to Hong Kong – and just in time to rev up the city for Halloween.

You may have heard that Transformers: Age of Extinction premiered in Hong Kong last week. Guess who got to see the much-anticipated movie in 3D before its official release?
