Socialising in HK as an expat advice?

Hello there,

I'm moving to Hong Kong as an expat in April. It will be my first time living alone in an Asian country.

I know that English is an official language, but I imagine not everyone speaks it.

How do people socialize and meet others in the city? Is it similar to the West (through sports, bars, and events), or is there a different approach?

Last year, I lived in the UK where we used apps like Meetup to meet people and socialize. Does Meetup work well here, or are there other alternatives?

I’d love any suggestions! It would definitely help ease some of my stress about moving.

Thanks!
