I would definitely recommend joining a sports club.
Due to me finally managing to get a PNET position (yay!), thus giving me far more sociable working hours (like finishing at 4, rather than 9pm every night like I was doing working at a private centre) I was at last able to join a dragonboat club.
And I've met more people there in the last couple of weeks than I did in the previous 6 months. People from all over the world doing all sorts of jobs. In fact I think I'm the only teacher there. So no risk of talking shop - always a major peril when teachers get together.

Hmmm....

Five weeks after the OP made his/her request for suggestions -- and no thank you or other statement of appreciation for many excellent responses.

What might that say about the size of her/his circle of friends in HK?

I find it extraordinary that you cant make friends in HK.

I work in Guangzhou and travel to HK on most weekends and have many friends.

It is much easier to find friends in HK than Guangzhou.

I advise that you broaden your circles and look outside of the ' Gwailo haunts '.
