What we’re about
HISTORY OF HELLO HONG KONG MEETUP GROUP (Founded on 29 January 2012)
Hello and Welcome to Hong Kong, a city that never sleeps
History of Hello Hong Kong Meetup Group:-
Hello Hong Kong Meetup Group was started by a few westerners who had relocated to Hong Kong and wanted to explore this city during their leisure time. This Group became active when a French girl helped organize many Meetups while residing in this fascinating city. In 2014 summer, a local girl who was a native here took over the Group and brought you deeper insights into Hong Kong. We believe that - if you are curious, adventurous, willing to contribute something in your leisure time, or want to expand your social circle, you can help us run the Group even if you are not a native here.
What do we do?
Let's get to know Hong Kong better! Whether you are a local, an expatriate here for a few years, or just passing through ... feel free to join a group of like-minded people to explore parts of this diverse city and its surroundings (i.e. Guangdong/Macau). We are a social activity group with various interests and activities. It could be a mountain trek, a beach BBQ, a cultural & museum visit, a photography walk, a fashion show, dinner, a movie, karaoke, an urban tour, or even being a volunteer to help the needy, and it is up to you!
Creativity, Uniqueness, and Exclusivity are what we are looking for in scheduling a Meetup. If you have an interesting idea and want to plan a Meetup for socializing purposes and expanding your social network, you can post it as a draft. We will review your draft Meetup and approve it if this is appropriate for our Group.
Let's observe some of our rules here:
Since we are an amateur group, most of our Hosts are Volunteers and have full-time jobs; therefore, we DO NOT organize any event requested by members but will ALLOW you to host your meetup. We will review it and approve it if appropriate.
"The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few...." (Luke 10:2)
"Let’s carry each other's burdens ...." (Galatians 6:2)
NO business owner organization can use the Hello HK platform to host commercials, fundraising events, selling/promoting your products/services, or even another Meetup Group here. You can discuss with our Organiser how to be our Sponsors.
All superstitious events e.g. fortune-telling, tarot card reading, Supernatural power, New Age, worshipping idols, meditation, spiritual contact with evils, non-Christianity religious events, etc ... all these kinds of events are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN in this Group.
"‘Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God." (Leviticus 19:31)
We will delete all inappropriate meetups, scammers, and fake, anonymous profiles without further warnings. Please respect our rules.
