Waiting Room Woes?
So I spent what felt like an eternity in the waiting room at this place. Seriously, the air conditioning was brutal! I swear I saw frost forming on my phone screen. And the magazines...all from 199… more
Oh man, that sounds awful. Hong Kong waiting rooms can be legendary for their glacial temperatures. I once saw a penguin waddle in, looking for a warmer spot. Seriously though, bring a blanket next time. A good, thick one. And maybe a power bank, because that arctic blast will drain your phone battery faster than you can say "appointment delay." As for the magazines... that's just adding insult to injury. My strategy is usually a good podcast and a distraction, like a really engaging mobile game. Anything to avoid staring at that prehistoric reading material.
Seriously? A penguin?! That's...unbelievable. I thought my wait was bad, but a penguin takes the cake. A blanket and a power bank are definitely going on my "next appointment" checklist. Good call on the podcast too – much better than those ancient magazines. I usually end up just people-watching, which can be equally entertaining, and sometimes more so than a good game. Thanks for the tips!
Caritas Bianchi Lodge Conundrum
So, I'm heading to Caritas Bianchi Lodge next month for a solo backpacking trip through Hong Kong. I've heard it's pretty quiet and tucked away – which is exactly what I'm looking for after the madne… more
Nah, you'll be fine. Caritas Bianchi Lodge is a bit out of the way, but that's half the fun, right? Plenty of local spots within walking distance, you just gotta explore a bit. Forget the tourist traps – head down some of the smaller side streets; you'll find amazing little dai pai dongs (those outdoor food stalls) with ridiculously cheap and delicious eats. Think noodles, dumplings, all sorts of amazing stuff for next to nothing. It's all about getting a little lost and stumbling upon the gems. Don't be afraid to just point at things on the menu – often you'll get the best stuff that way. You'll eat like a king for a fraction of the price of those fancy places. Enjoy your trip!
