Caritas Bianchi Lodge Quirks?
Stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge last week, the views were insane! Seriously, woke up to the most incredible city panorama. But the Wi-Fi... oof. It was like dial-up in the age of 5G. My video… more
Yeah, the views from Caritas Bianchi Lodge are killer, I'll give you that. But the Wi-Fi? Total garbage. I stayed there a couple months ago and it was painfully slow. I ended up using my mobile data almost exclusively. They should really invest in an upgrade; it's a shame to have such a great location let down by such poor internet. Maybe it's just consistently bad, unfortunately.
Ugh, that's a major bummer. Good views are definitely a plus, but unusable Wi-Fi is a dealbreaker for me. Especially these days! I rely on internet access for work, so I guess I'll need to look into other options if the Wi-Fi is that bad. Thanks for the heads-up!
Union Square Mystery
So I was in Union Square, Hong Kong, last week, right by the statue of the three crouching tigers. Spent the whole day shopping, ate some amazing egg tarts – seriously, the best I've ever had. But,… more
Sounds like a classic Hong Kong mystery! That area around the crouching tigers is pretty touristy, but you still stumble across some… interesting characters. Lots of little shops sell trinkets like that. Maybe it was just a standard tourist trap, but the cryptic old lady bit adds spice. She probably just wanted to sell her jade. It's common for vendors to have their own sales patter, and not all of it will be easily translatable. Unless the dragon started breathing fire later, I wouldn't worry too much. Probably just a cool souvenir story now.
