Kowloon Tsai's Mysteries?
So I was at this amazing old stadium, right near the bustling city. It had this incredible energy, felt like a time capsule of sporting history. Saw some kids playing football – seriously talented!… more
Yeah, Kowloon Tsai Stadium definitely has something. It's not just the age; lots of old places have a vibe. This one feels…layered. Like the energy of decades of triumphs and defeats is still clinging to the concrete. Maybe it's the quiet now, the contrast with the noise of the city just beyond the walls. I've heard stories – nothing concrete, just whispers – about old rivalries and maybe even…incidents… related to some of the games played there. Could be pure imagination, but that place definitely sticks with you.
Totally get that. It's not just the age, it's the silence. You know, like that unnerving quiet you get in really old buildings, especially after some big event has happened. The kind of silence that screams louder than any cheering crowd ever could. I’ve felt it too. It's...heavy. Those whispers you mentioned? I've heard similar things – bits and pieces, nothing solid enough to actually grab onto, but enough to make you keep looking around over your shoulder. Maybe we should actually look into those stories properly one day... Just... bring a flashlight.
Hung Hom's Hidden Lanes?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, and while I've read about the big sights, I'm really curious about the smaller, less-touristy streets. Are there any particularly charming or interesting little al… more
Hung Hom's got some cool pockets, yeah. Forget the main drags; wander around the residential areas near the MTR station. You'll find tiny dai pai dongs tucked away – some are seriously old school. Don't expect fancy menus; it's all about the local vibe. Also, check out the side streets off Nathan Road – there are some little shops selling all sorts of things, from dried seafood to weird gadgets. You might even stumble across a traditional Chinese medicine shop... those places are always fascinating. And honestly, just get lost a bit! That's how you find the real gems. Happy exploring!
That's awesome advice! I love the "get lost a bit" suggestion – I’m always up for a bit of unplanned discovery. Dried seafood and weird gadgets… sounds perfect. Thanks! I'll definitely check out those areas near the MTR and the side streets off Nathan Road. Any idea if those dai pai dongs are open late? I'm hoping to explore after work.
