Attending the University of Hong Kong, which hall should I pick?
I'm planning on studying abroad at HKU and I need to pick a hall. I'm looking for reasonably nice accommodations, friendly people, and a large international student population and so far I've narrowed it down to Lee Shau Kee Hall or Starr Hall: http://www.hku.hk/starr/ http://www.hku.hk/lskhall/ Any advice would be appreciated.

Chances of getting a job in Hong Kong?
Chances of getting a job in Hong Kong?
Hello, I am an international student from Eastern Europe and I am currently attending one of the universities in Hong Kong. I am also learning Cantonese and I can speak a bit Mandarin. My industry interest is related to Marketing and Advertising. Is there any chance for me to get a good job in Hong Kong, even if I am a foreigner? And, also, are the job permision and visa requirements for foreigners very strict and problematic?

Nope, Rules are like france they must give detailed explict reasons as to why a local person cannot do this job before giving it to you. Which is a biggie with regards to getting a work visa. Marketting and advertising is already crowded with lots of native talent, therefore everybody in HK and everybody who has the right to live in HK i.e. me and almost all overseas HK people have to be considered before you.
2 :
Yes you can, specially if you can get into international companies in Hong Kong. Usually, work visa for foreigners are very specific and maybe a bit strict, the company must provide a good reason for hiring a foreigner, and this will be reviewed before granting you the visa. So my advice is you need a good competitive edge not only to impress your employer but also reflect well in your work visa application.

I think your best bet is to head towards Sheung Wan or even Central (Lan Kwai Fong) - try Mad Dogs.
2 :
walk around central (LKF) and wan chai... you are always bound to find premiership games there but not championship or below.

If Chinese passport holders need visa to work in Hong Kong?
I am a student, holding Chinese passport. Now I am applying to an internship program in HK, but I was noticed that "Due to the short period of the internship assignments, we are not able to sponsor visa for all internship positions." So just wondering if the Chinese passport holders need visa to work in Hong Kong?

Yes.

Unless you have a HK identity card, then you must have an employment visa to work in HK.

Yes they need work visas. Internships are usually viewed as temporary jobs so it's not unusual that the company won't sponsor you a visa. Employers would want longer period of stay within the company to maximize the visa application.
