what happened in 2019?

So, 2019 is really the first time that we really heard of facial recognition being used to identify protestors. The big one I can really name was the 2019 Honk Kong demonstration that was protesting the way that law enforcement could handle international affairs of criminality.

Unfortunately, I can't remember all of the specific details at the moment, but I know that biometric data was used to track down protestors so that they could be arrested and tried and criminals. Just for wanting a law amended.

We saw the same thing happen with the 2020 protests around the world. And it's continued on to this day.

Somewhere at the city roads, somewhere in the backyard. At the side view. I noticed such amazing car. It is pure retro. It is detected retro! It is bus from Toyota. It is rather big for microbus. It has rather retro design.

It is such a front view photos, silhouettes. I think, that I see in a Asian action movies. Something like about a Bruce Lee, but another ones. I think so. And I hard have something to compare with. It is amazing explore moment. Somekind Honk Kong action movie, or action movie some of style. Some fragments, flashback from my memory. Fragments of movies. So, it has also a wide camera frame size. And its own bright level. So, it is, already, mixed memories. But of course, not so long version of a bus.

And I think about a micro bus. I think, I guess, it should to be this version too. But it is a lucky event. And I can to make a photo such bus.

Do Indians Need a Hong Kong Visa? Exploring the Requirements and Application Process

If you're an Indian passport holder planning a trip to Hong Kong, one of the key aspects to consider is whether you need a visa to enter the region. Hong Kong, a vibrant and dynamic destination, attracts tourists, students, and professionals from around the world. Understanding the visa requirements and application process is essential for a hassle-free travel experience. Let's find out if Indians need a Hong Kong visa?

Understanding the Visa Requirements

Types of Visas Available for Indians

Tourist Visa

A tourist visa is suitable for individuals intending to visit Hong Kong for leisure or sightseeing purposes. It typically allows for a short-term stay and prohibits engagement in any form of employment or business activities.

Employment Visa

For Indians seeking employment opportunities in Hong Kong, an employment visa is necessary. This visa category requires sponsorship from a Hong Kong-based employer and proof of relevant qualifications or work experience.

Student Visa

Students aspiring to pursue education in Hong Kong institutions need to apply for a student visa. This visa permits the holder to enroll in academic courses and participate in educational activities within the region.

Eligibility Criteria for Indians

To qualify for a Hong Kong visa, Indian applicants must meet certain eligibility criteria, including possessing a valid passport, demonstrating financial stability, and providing relevant documentation based on the visa type applied for.

Application Process

The application process for a Hong Kong visa involves submitting the required documents, completing the online application form, and paying the prescribed visa fees. Some of the essential documents include a completed application form, passport-sized photographs, proof of financial means, and travel itinerary.

Factors to Consider Before Applying

Duration of Stay

Consider the duration of your stay in Hong Kong when choosing the appropriate visa category. Ensure that the visa validity aligns with your intended period of visit.

Purpose of Visit

Determine the purpose of your visit, whether it's for tourism, employment, or education, to select the most suitable visa category that fulfills your requirements.

Financial Stability

Maintain sufficient funds to cover your expenses during the stay in Hong Kong. Financial stability is a crucial factor considered during the visa application process.

Challenges and Common Issues Faced

Processing Time

The visa processing time may vary depending on the visa category and individual circumstances. Delays in processing can disrupt travel plans, so it's advisable to apply well in advance.

Language Barrier

Navigating the visa application process and communicating with authorities may pose challenges due to language differences. Seeking assistance from translation services or bilingual professionals can help overcome this barrier.

Cultural Differences

Understanding and respecting the cultural norms and practices in Hong Kong is essential to avoid misunderstandings or conflicts during the stay.

Tips for a Smooth Visa Application Process

Plan Ahead

Initiate the visa application process well in advance of your planned travel dates to account for any potential delays or unforeseen circumstances.

Double-Check Documents

Thoroughly review all required documents before submission to ensure accuracy and completeness. Any discrepancies or missing information could lead to delays or rejection of the visa application.

Seek Professional Assistance if Needed

If you encounter difficulties or uncertainties during the visa application process, consider seeking guidance from immigration consultants or legal experts specializing in Hong Kong visas.

Divorce Saga Domon - A Haunted Honk Prequel

Hello Internet Stranger looking up G Gundam on Tumblr dot com!

This is an idea for a fic set in an Alternate Universe involving Queer Non-Canon Relationships between the characters of the series.

If you are not looking for this content please scroll on.

If you ARE looking for this content - and you're ok with reading my and other's Headcanons for this Alternate Universe I've haphazardly spun up -

--------------------------------------

Ended up outlining a completely different fic as a Segway for an explanation instead of making progress on the Royal Flush Haunted Honk AU's Clown Motel Fic like I wanted to but uh....

For y'all's review for the AU: A Prequel Outline - Divorce Saga Domon

--------------------------------------

Hey real quick - I'm thinking of maybe changing the timeline to 2 years post canon as opposed to 3 years and change post canon.

The reason being: I had a thought that this scene could either be part if the fic or if it's getting to big then it could be a stand alone tie-in prequel fic as part of this AU but - like

Immediately Post Divorce Domon Needs Space and runs off. As one does. And he runs to Earth because he just wants to Get Lost for a while.

He has Argo smuggle him out to avoid detection.

Argo has Andrew help stow Domon in a storage hanger of a Neo Canadian supply ship that's returning to the US - they have trade often enough and share agricultural resources - which leads to Domon ending up in New York when he hits Earthside pavement.

He's privately worked on his English the last couple of months and after being dropped in New York with a different hairstyle, outfit, and accent he's unrecognizable. 

He considers making his way west to get some solitude in the wilderness, but something about that initial plan feels off now that he's on the ground.

Chibodee is also Earthside for a special series of prize fights aimed at raising charitable appeal for the US in the eyes of Neo Americans.

Domon decides to hit up Chibodee for a fight on a day between matches hoping it'll clear his head and give him the clarity to decide on a course of action. What ends up happening is an unexpected heart to heart via blows and a breakdown.

Domon is happy for Rain and Kyoji, and he knows it's not true; but he feels like he lost a piece of himself when his relationship with Rain fell apart.

Domon's instinct is to run after that but Chibodee knows this city and Domon doesn't hide out for long before Chibodee drags him back to his place to stay and just "Chill out and breathe. You don't have to be anyone but yourself here. You can take as long as you need to find out what everything changing means for you." Friends and teammates stick together.

So Domon spends a few weeks with Chibodee sparring and hanging out in New York. Chibodee does a frankly awesome job at containing his feelings because he's focusing on Domons feelings and being a good friend first and foremost. Whatever he's feeling can wait until after Domon is done going though it.

There's a bit of a twinge in Domon's heart as he leaves that he can't really place.

After he returns to Neo Japan and gets settled back into life with his family, The Dreams start.

They're mainly set in New York. Small things first like noticing Chibodee's smile and his eyes. Then sparring sessions that begin to turn lurid.

He thought these kinds of dreams would stop after he was married.... he doesn't know what to do about this.

I just figure it gives more clarity and sense of time for the journey from Comphet Marriage Dissolution to Feelings to Confession. Idk.

But I got stuck on a bit and then had this thought and needed to get it down before I lost it and it was so long it made sense to make it its own post as opposed to several replies.

The Maize and Clown Motel will probably still be 3 years and change post canon for clarification.

Alexandre, you were not the French I expected a title from this week

[provecfy]

I think instead of lame excuses like "Cass is away in Honk Kong" or "[x bat] is doing stuff from his team of heroes" or just ignoring Steph's existance altogether, it would be funny if fanfics took members of the Batfam out of comission by having them have their own fanfic-related cliché adventure

Like, a Jason-centered fic where he asks Alfred where is the replacement and Alfred just goes "oh, Master Timothy has just been possesed by himself from thee-years into the future and is away trying to prevent our horrible deaths" and that's it, Tim is having his own time-travelling fix-it fic in the background which is why he's not mentioned

Babs on a Babs-centric fic where she could really use some advice asking Bruce on comms where her Batgirls are and Bruce non-chalantly answers "Steph has been hit by a love potion and Cass has offered to help her to her apartment", Babs waits a moment and comments "oh... do we get the 'congrats on kissing' banner ready for tomorrow?", "no, I think it's a slow burn, give them a week" and the rest of the fic happens without them

Dick, entering a room and finding Duke "hey, is Damian acting weird this morning or what?" "I think he said something about being stuck on a time-loop until he learns the true meaning of christmas" "aren't we on july?" "Yeah I thought so too but when I asked he mentioned he had already gotten my help on two loops so I just left him be" "well I needed help with a case, you in?" and the rest of the fic is a Dick and Duke team-up

The fastpass and the Disney Channel theme are currently tied, one because I forced my friend to watch it and he came out even MORE disgusted at Disney, the other because it's literally a piece of art and should be studied under a microscope

But the third one is the Wild Party of Walt Disney because of the absolute BANGER of an intro followed closely by The Final Jim Henson hour, Honk Kong Disneyland and Nara Dreamland

Well??? What is it??

[sirfrogsworth]

Just as a reminder, The Aristocats featured a Siamese cat named Shun Gon.

Here he is playing the piano with chopsticks...

His song lyrics start out...

Shanghai, Honk Kong, egg foo young Fortune cookie always wrong

Oh, and the voice actor is this dude...

Is a brief, "Our bad, sorry about that!" really that terrible in this instance?

They didn't censor the movie. It's still all there.

Seriously, what is the problem?

kidkiller headcanons?

Here’s a smattering

-Neither of them can sing for shit but this does not stop them from shou-singing very loudly together

-Killer has weird hyper-specific knowledge on a ton of random subjects and Kid likes to ask him about weird obscure things to see if he knows anything about it

-Killer whips out the “Eustass.” when he’s upset w him and it IMMEDIATELY shuts Kid up. Visceral “😦” reaction.

-Kid is definitely more into PDA than Killer is. Killer is still fine and cool with it but Kid is definitely the initiator for most of it. By which I mean he’s shoving his tongue into Killer’s mask like a dog playing with a kong toy

-They take naps in an absolute tangle of arms and legs and it looks so uncomfortable but they’re both out like lights and honk-shooing

-Obligatory Killer helps Kid w/his makeup

-Kid is usually very antsy and doing shit with his hands to keep from getting bored and that does include running his hands through Killer’s hair (this sometimes backfires and he just ends up yanking Killer’s head back)

-Kid made Killer piercings and then. remade them out of a non-magnetic metal shortly after. no incident occurred Killer was just like “awwww thank youuuuu these aren’t magnetic right :)” and Kid was like . uhm. i need those back actually
