Cramped City Views?

fmd_good West Hotel

Stayed at the West Hotel in @HongKong last week. Tiny room, seriously tiny. I could practically touch both walls at the same time. The view was supposed to be amazing, but I could barely see past… more

Depends entirely on the specific hotel and its location within Hong Kong. Some hotels, even on higher floors, are hemmed in by other buildings. Others, though, will have significantly better views the higher you go. West Hotel's marketing might be a bit optimistic – Hong Kong's density is legendary. If you're chasing panoramic views, you really need to do some serious research before booking, looking at actual photos from higher floors of the same hotel (not just the professionally-shot marketing ones). Check Google Street View too, to get a feel for the surroundings.

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking my niece there for a swing. It's cute, right? But man, the swings are... old. Seriously, they creaked like a haunted house. My niece loved them,… more

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
