是否担心你的过去影响你新生活。
对于香港入境事务处，你不必太担心你过去的错误。
他们在意有犯罪记录的人可能给社会带来的安全威胁和风险，但他们对大多数案件的反应似乎相当宽容。
此外，除非移民局特别要求，否则在您的签证申请（无论是学生、就业、投资或居留权）的任何时候都没有正式要求披露您的犯罪历史。
但是，一旦你到了香港，任何非法活动都会对你在香港的未来产生重大影响。
Wining and Dining Your Clients? Better Follow the Rules!
We al like to make a good impression. Especially when it comes business dinners.
Wining and dining our clients, partners, friends and family, is deeply enrooted into our culture, so why not learn a few simple etiquette tricks to make the experience complete?
So here a re a few tips for your dining out:
- Dress nicely
True, we are now much more causal than we used to be even ten years ago. But it is still recommended to play it safe and lean towards formal wear for formal dining.
For men – classic suits or a shirt and tie are a good choice. For women – a dress/suit and classic shoes (not sandals)
2. Keep you personal items off the table
Bags, cellphones, keys and a mobile phone have no place on the table. They will clutter the table, distract your companions and complicate the job for waiters.
3. Pay up front
In order to avoid a loud debate on who should pay the bill, do it in advance. Excuse yourself from the table for a moment and discretely settle the payment.
4. Not the tight time for Instagram
It is a common trend to take pictures of your food these days and it would not surprise anyone. However, when you are dining with a client, keep the images in your memory. Unless, of course, your client him/herself initiates the picture taking.
5. Where doe the napkin go?
On your lap. If you leave the table, carefully put it on the chair. And when the meal is over, place it neatly on the left side of your plate.
6. Follow your client’s lead
Let the guest order first and order the same number of courses. This will help avoid awkward waiting and keep the meal flowing smoothly.
7. Business can wait
It is customary to not start talking shop until the entrée is finished. Use the time for small talk, catching up or discussing food preferences.
8. Remember the basics
No elbows on the table
Cut your meat piece by piece
Butter your bread on your plate
Look into the glass when drinking and not over.
Bon Appetit!
招待客户？

我们都喜欢给人留下好印象。尤其是在商务晚宴上。
为我们的客户、合作伙伴、朋友和家人提供餐饮，深深植根于我们的文化中，那么为什么不学习一些简单的礼仪技巧来使体验变得完整呢？
所以这里有一些外出就餐的提示：
穿着漂亮
的确，我们现在比十年前更具因果关系。但还是建议大家安全起见，在正式用餐时尽量穿正装。
对于男性来说，经典西装或衬衫和领带都是不错的选择。女性，连衣裙/西装和经典鞋（不是凉鞋）
2 . 让你的私人物品远离桌子
包、手机、钥匙和手机不能放在桌子上。他们会弄乱桌子，分散你的同伴的注意力，并使服务员的工作复杂化。
3. 预付
为了避免关于谁应该支付账单的激烈辩论，请提前进行。暂时离开桌子，小心翼翼地结算付款。
4. 不适合拍照分享
如今，拍照留念你的食物是一种普遍趋势，任何人都不会感到惊讶。但是，当您与客户一起用餐时，请将图像保留在您的记忆中。当然，除非您的客户自己发起拍照。
5. 餐巾纸去哪儿了？
在你的腿上。如果你离开桌子，小心地把它放在椅子上。用餐结束后，将其整齐地放在盘子的左侧。
6. 听从客户的指示
让客人先点餐，然后订相同数量的菜式。这将有助于避免尴尬的等待并保持用餐顺畅。
7.业务可以等待
通常在主菜完成之前不要开始谈论商务。利用时间进行闲聊、探讨或讨论食物偏好。
8.记住基础知识
桌子上没有肘部
把你的食物一块一块地切下来
把你的面包涂在盘子上
喝酒时看着杯子，不要喝完。
祝你用餐愉快！
Happy Dragon Boat Festival! Let The Race Begin!

SeatGuru.com – Your Guide To a Comfortable Flight
A few blogs before we talked about how to sleep better during flights. This time we would like to share a great website that can help you plan your trip (and even your sleep) in extensive detail.
Behold www.seatguru.com.
On the website you can:
– see seat maps
– find out about flight shipping and information,
– get seating advice,
– read user comments and see photos.
You have a chance to find out seat length and width, leg room, amenities and basically everything there is to know about your flight from within.
Reviews are especially helpful, as you can read about people’s first-hand flying experiences and the extent of detail you get from their comments is amazing.
Reading about my upcoming flight to Thailand on Emirates A380, I learnt which seats are best to book and which are right above the crew’s office and as a result are too noisy.
I found out what menu options I should pre-order as a vegetarian, what amount of legroom I should expect and even how to win the armrest battle.
SEATGURU.COM – 舒适飞行指南
在之前的一些博客中，我们讨论如何在飞行中睡得更好。这次我们想分享一个很棒的网站，可以帮助您详细地计划您的旅行（甚至您的睡眠）。
看www.seatguru.com。
在网站上，您可以：
– 参见座椅图
– 了解航班运输和信息，
– 获取座位建议，
– 阅读用户评论并查看照片。
您还有机会了解座椅的长度和宽度、腿部空间、便利设施，以及从内部了解您的航班的基本信息。
评论是特别有用的，因为您可以阅读人们的飞行体验，并且您从他们的评论中获得令人惊叹的详细程度。
读到我即将乘坐阿联酋A380飞往泰国的航班，我知道哪些座位最适合预订，哪些座位因为正好在机组人员办公室的上方，所以会很吵。
我发现作为一个素食主义者我应该预定什么菜单选项，很期待多大的腿部空间，甚至如何赢得扶手之战。
