Our long-term client Karen from Alexandre de Paris appeared on TVB Pearl last week in a lifestyle programme Dolce Vita.

 

Alexandre de Paris is a boutique for luxury hair accessories. All the items are handcrafted and shipped right from France.

The show that aired last Thursday and again on Saturday focused on the trends in hair fashion and the unique accessories to be found at Alexandre de Paris.

We remind you that Alexandre de Paris stores have a number of locations in Hong Kong.

The event ended with a lucky draw. We hope the winners are enjoying their prizes!

UBER, everyone’s personal driver, launched in Shenzhen only a few weeks ago and Josephine was eager to try what everyone was talking about.

UBER is a downloadable app, that allows you to, as they say, travel in style. All you have to do is to press a button, indicating where you have to go, wait from 5 to 7 minutes and watch a luxury car with a private driver pull up in front of you.

What are the perks?

–       No money exchange (the payment is made via Credit Card, PayPal or Alipay.

–       Wi-fi, phone-charger and bottled water in the car salon

–       The driver will address you by name and open the door for you with a welcoming smile

 As UBER explains, the idea came to its founders in San Francisco, when they were tired of waiting for a taxi after a party. Since that day, UBER has spread over 32 countries.

Josephine took the ride early in the morning on the way to a business event and on the way back. It was a pleasant, hassle-free experience which gave her a chance to recharge her phone and take a few fun photos.

As featured in Hong Kong Startups, Hotel Quickly is a mobile –only, last-minute hotel booking application available across Asia.

The app promises great rates for hand-picked quality hotels and offers a winning solution for hotels as well helping them to sell rooms that have not been booked by the end of the day.

Loosing your job does not mean that you will be asked to leave Hong Kong. However, you do need to approach the Immigration Department to change employers (submit an employment visa application) or establish/join a new business (investment visa application).
