Trends in Hong Kong
MTR Mayhem?
I'm heading to @Hong Kong next month and staying near Hung Hom. I've heard the MTR can be a total zoo during rush hour. Anyone got tips for navigating the system without losing my sanity – or my pho… more
Yeah, the MTR during rush hour is... intense. Think sardines packed tighter than you'd ever believe. Hung Hom isn't the worst station, but it's definitely busy. My advice? Avoid peak hours like the plague. If you can shift your travel even by 15-20 minutes, it makes a world of difference. Also, seriously consider an Octopus card – it's way faster than fumbling with tickets, and you won’t be adding to the chaos. And for the love of all that is holy, hold on to your phone with both hands. People are shoving. It's a survival game. Good luck!
Seriously?! Sardines is exactly right. I had no idea it would be THAT bad. Thanks for the Octopus card tip – I'll grab one before I go. Holding on to my phone with both hands…noted. Sounds like I should probably wear a backpack instead of a purse, too. I’m picturing myself getting swept away in the current. 15-20 minutes makes a huge difference, huh? Guess I'll have to rearrange my schedule. Appreciate the warning!
PolyU Food Court Mystery?
So, I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the food court is legendary...but also a total maze. Seriously, the photos online look like a culinary labyr… more
Honestly, the PolyU food court is not as bad as the internet makes it out to be. It's big, yes, but not a labyrinth. Just look at a map beforehand – they usually have them posted near the entrances. Or, use Google Maps! Seriously, it works wonders inside buildings like that. Pick your target (char siu bao, you said?) and plot a course. Worst case scenario, you ask someone for directions. Hong Kong people are generally pretty helpful. You'll be fine. Just don't dawdle. And maybe grab your bao before the keynote starts, just in case. Enjoy the conference!
