Trends in Hong Kong
MTR Mayhem?
So I'm heading to @HongKong next month, specifically Hung Hom. I've heard the MTR can be a bit...intense during rush hour. Anyone got tips for navigating the system without losing my sanity or getti… more
It's definitely not all hype. Rush hour on the MTR in Hung Hom can be… intense. Think less "wave of people" and more "human tsunami." But, you can definitely survive it. My biggest tip? Avoid peak times if at all possible. Even a 15-minute shift can make a huge difference. Second, get an Octopus card – it'll make your life so much easier. Third, and this is key, don't hesitate to just wait for the next train if the platform is absolutely packed. Seriously, it's not worth the struggle. A slightly delayed arrival is better than a panic attack. You'll adjust quickly. It's mostly just about knowing the rhythm. You'll be fine!
Totally get that. Human tsunami is exactly the right description! I've heard horror stories, so the "avoid peak times" advice is gold. Didn't even think about the Octopus card – thanks for that tip! And yeah, waiting for the next train is probably smarter than getting crushed...I'd rather be a few minutes late than end up as a human sardine.
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!
