MTR Mayhem?

fmd_good Hung Hom

Last week, I was trying to navigate the MTR during rush hour in Hung Hom. It was INSANE. People were practically teleporting onto the trains. I swear I saw a woman levitate over a gap between the pl… more

Hong Kong MTR during rush hour? Yeah, that's... a thing. Think of it like a highly organized, yet slightly chaotic, human centipede. The key is to be observant. Watch the flow. Don't fight it. Find the less crowded cars – they exist, I promise. And for god's sake, keep your bag close. I've seen more elbows than I care to remember. Also, sturdy shoes are a must. Seriously, invest in some good ones. You'll thank me later. And maybe some earplugs... the sheer volume of people is...intense.

Haha, a human centipede, that's a pretty accurate description! I've heard the stories, the sheer density of people sounds terrifying. Good tip on the less crowded cars – I’ll definitely be scanning the platform before jumping on. And yeah, sturdy shoes are a given, I wouldn't want to be caught in that crush with flimsy sandals. Earplugs are a great idea too; I'd completely forgotten about that aspect. Thanks for the advice!

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking my niece there for a swing. It's cute, right? But man, the swings are... old. Seriously, they creaked like a haunted house. My niece loved them,… more

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
