Dear Mr. Know-It-All,
I would like to take a “staycation” with the whole family, preferably in a relaxing rural area of Hong Kong. Anywhere that allows small, well-mannered dogs to come along?

Dear Mr. Know-It-All
I have a small (four foot by six foot) rug. My four-year-old had a pee pee accident on it so it has a stain and it smells. I don’t want a service that specializes in expensive Persian rugs, but one that can efficiently clean it and bring it back? Do you have a recommendation?
I want to get it done soon because it’s yucky.

Dear Mr. Know-It-All,
I am looking for the address of a shop specializing in shoes for large feet. I think there is one in Causeway Bay that advertises with you. Please help,

Dear Mr. Know-It-All,
I would like to know if you could provide
some information about general private investigators in and around Hong Kong. I do remember that some companies had advertised in your magazine in the past but I cannot seem to find them now.

Dear Mr. Know-It-All,
Sometimes I just need that extra lift in the morning that I can’t get from my regular cuppa joe. Is there anywhere I can buy caffeine pills
in Hong Kong?

Dear Mr. Know-It-All,
Do you know of any place where I can take my two favorite handbags for cleaning?  One's nubuck and one is leather with metal details.  They are my favorites, but what with the talk of the bacteria count of ladies’ handbags, I'm a bit freaked out and I'm desperate to get them spick and span again.

Dear Mr. Know-It-All,
Do you know of any place where I can take handbags for cleaning?  I have two bags in mind: one in nubuck and the other in leather with metal details, so I know it won’t be an easy job. They are my go-to favorites, but what with the talk of the bacteria count of ladies’ handbags, theses two really need a cleaning!  Please help.

Dear Mr. Know-It-All,
I am hosting a party next month and the theme is “Chinese kitsch.” I want to buy a box of fortune cookies to distribute to guests, but as luck would have it, I can’t find them anywhere! Can you point me in the right direction?

Dear Mr. Know-It-All,
I want to play a few games of foosball (or table football for brits) with my friends on the weekend, but I can’t seem to find a table. Do you know of anywhere I can get a couple of games in?
