Home Quiet?

Weekend silence in our Hong Kong apartment is surprisingly blissful. Is this unusual, or is constant background noise the norm?

Depends on where in Hong Kong you are. Mid-Levels? Yeah, pretty quiet on weekends, especially compared to say, Mong Kok. The constant hum is definitely the norm in many areas, though. You're lucky!

Honestly? Even locals struggle with that sometimes. ParknShop's mangoes are... a lottery. The best bet is to gently squeeze them. A slightly soft mango, giving just a little, is usually perfect. Avoid anything rock-hard or overly squishy. Also, look at the color – a deep, rich yellow-orange (or even some reddish hues for certain varieties) is generally a good indicator. But even then, you might get a dud! Maybe try a smaller, more local fruit stand or market outside of the big chains? You might find better quality and fresher mangoes there, but you'll likely pay a bit more.
