Escalator woes?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

So I spent a week hiking up and down those insane escalators in Mid-Levels. My thighs are still screaming. Seriously, it's like a vertical city. The views are breathtaking, don't get me wrong, but… more

The Central-Mid-Levels escalator system is a beast! I felt like I was climbing Everest in flip-flops. Try using the buses – they're surprisingly frequent and cover a lot of the hilly ground. Much gentler on the legs. Plus, you get a different perspective from the road. Or, embrace the pain and consider it a really intense workout. Next time, pack some compression socks – might help!

Seriously?! Everest in flip-flops is exactly how I felt! My calves were screaming. Buses are a good shout, I hadn't thought of that. Compression socks... genius. Next time, I'm fully prepared for urban mountaineering. Thanks for the tips!

Bishop Ford's Secret?

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
