    This is a cute show...bunch there. http://www.drama.net/house-of-harmony-and-vengeance/ Once you get far enough along you'll probably find that the subs just hold you back though, as you find yourself just 'watching the show' (reading subs/enjoying story) and your brain not working hard at pulling out vocab and patterns and putting things together. There's lots of stuff...just google 'streaming'+ 'drama' 'hk' 'hong kong' 'tvb' etc....

    Hanping Cantonese is also a fantastic offline Cantonese resource on Android. It uses the CantoDict library which I think is fantastic.

    HK Drama series are becoming harder to find with the popularity of Korean and Japanese Drama the last few years, but you can still find a lot. If you're not concerned with quality and living outside HK and don't have the options to subscribe to the one or two Chinese stations your cable provider might charge you an arm and a leg for, you can just google 'streaming Hong Kong drama'. 

    Be prepared for annoying ads and some questionable content sometimes, but the diligent and careful can find some good sites that are fairly reliable in providing current and past series and variety shows. Generally you have to initially close an ad to watch. Good ones will provide a number of sources for each episode. Some sites even present only series that have been subtitled in English, but these will not be the latest series. 

    These shows stream in a quality that some people won't be able to tolerate, but I love the shows and the chance to hear the language, and think there has to be a trade off for watching it for only the price of my internet connection.

     

    Personally I prefer the historical dramas for some reason...

    Ghost Dragon of Cold Mountain – 寒山潛龍

    Storm in a Cocoon-守業者

    Gilded Chopsticks – 食為奴

    Men Don't Cry - 奸人堅

    A Fistful of Stances - 鐵馬尋橋

    etc...

    Super Snoops – 荃加福祿壽探案 was funny...we loved it...

     

    You can buy legitimate copies of some series at sites like YesAsia, but I learned the hard way that often even if you are trying to buy legitamate copies from a brick-and-mortor Chinese video store you could end up with a rip of the series in laser printed packaging :(

    (*As others have said great job, and most of my changes aren't correcting errors but only making adjustments so that the sentences 'sound better' to me, for what it's worth.)

     

    Physical beauty, or Inner Beauty?

    It just suddenly came to my mind that, I am no longer attracted to men with handsome facial structures features. Though there was a time, when I would be so easily be drawn by to those thick eyebrows, blue eyes, tall nose, or even just simply the blondness of their hair. Now that I am a little older, a little more mature, and my hormones are little more stable; I find myself becoming an aficionado of characters,humor and wit (<for some reason the order sounds better when longer words are put first). Maybe it is still the teenager in me talking. Perhaps a few years later, I will find myself looking for other things in love.

    Please correct my English :)

    很高興能參與是次活動,不但可使我計劃和溝通技巧 進步,而且能學以致用, 把之前對貧窮問題的研究用於是次活動當中,讓不同文化背景的參加者能更認識香港的貧窮問題。同時,活動能促進文化的交流,參加者很積極和投入於活動當中,對香港貧窮議題的敏感度增加了不少,與參加者互相分享的過程中,大家都有了很多的反思,對對方的文化有了更深的了解。雖然活動過程要付出很多時間和汗水,但活動非常有意義,付出都是值得的。

    I am glad to join this activity. Not only to improve my organisation and communication skills but also to make a good use to of something what that I learnt before. We implied applied our research about poverty problems in Hong Kong ("to the activity" is ambiguous, lacking context) to let the participants know more about the property issues in HK. Also, the activity doing this facilities facilitates cultural Interchange. Participants are active and involved in the activity, and their sense to awareness of Hong Kong poverty are ???( issues are improved. When we shared our thoughts, we learned a lot from each other and understood more about different cultures. Although we need to spend a lot of time and pay a lot of effort into the activity, I found it very meaningful and worthy.

    出街喺餐廳食 噚晚我同我嘅家庭出街去餐廳食飯。雖然平时我哋唔會出街食飯,因為今日我媽咪嚟咗探我哋,同埋嗰日嗰陣喺餐廳有一啲折我哋都覺得去個度好主意。對我哋喺餐廳食幾特別,所以我哋好開心。如果我有一個好嚴重嘅芝麻過敏,另外去餐廳食多會太貴,從而平時我哋唔想去。 其實我唔應該詐型因為我太太真係好叻,煮嘢食好味好好食好似餐廳一樣。

    我鍾意遙控玩具 我諗我好似後生仔一樣。有好多興趣我鍾意只係後生人應該做。譬如聽rap音樂,打機,同埋玩遙控車。 我好鍾意玩遙控車。 我有兩個型。第一係4x4揸山車,第二個係drifting車。 而且有幾多細直昇機。 佢哋全部用電芯。我覺得我鍾意呢啲玩具多啲過我嘅細蚊仔。 好奇怪。。。唔明白點解佢哋唔鐘意。我自細想有遙控玩具。

    I feel depressed doing a Graphic Designer work

    I feel depressed doing a Graphic Designer work in Hong Kong (or "I feel depressed working as a Graphic Designer in Hong Kong"), especially is a when I get freelance jobs. The client just is cares a about prices. They will bargain a for cheap prices for themselves, but and they still have many requests. They hope all elements is are big and outstanding in the layout, and it's that the design uses many colors. However it the design will be ugly for the design. Then Additionally, most things they find need you often to do is a urgent.
