Mr. Know- It-All, Week of October 21, 2011
  Dear Mr. Know-It-All, When I was 18, I went on a hiking trip in Nepal. Not only did I fall in love with the mountain, I fell in love with the food as well. Now I'm back in Hong Kong, and I've been itching to find a place that serves yak cheese and momo (those Nepalese dumplings that are so...

Dear Mr. Know-It-All, Before I moved here, I had to give away my pet ball python that I had owned for several years. I was heartbroken. I think I'm ready to adopt another… but where to find one? Seems like it's easier to find snakes in soup rather than as pets! I'd prefer to get my new pet...

Dear Mr. Know-It-All, I only have three pairs of shoes and one of them just broke beyond repair. I’ve only ever bought shoes overseas and I’m a guy, so naturally I don’t have any patience when it comes to shopping. It’s difficult to find shoes because my shoe size is US size...

Dear Mr. Know-It-All, When I was a kid, my mom used to buy loads of those white Lion gym pumps for me and my friends to decorate at my birthday parties when I was about five years old.

Dear Mr. Know-It-All, I am finding it hard to find good places to get a Brazilian wax since a lot of the cheaper places reuse their wax which is super, super, super gross! One of my friends came out with this huge bright red rash that wouldn’t go away for a month! Where can I go to get one...

Dear Mr. Know-It-All, My mom gave me a couple of her rings, but my fingers are much too large to fit into them. Where can I trust to get them safely refitted in Central or Hang Hau? — Antique Chic You seriously want to go through all the trouble to re-size your mom’s old hand-me-down...
