Trends in Hong Kong
West Hotel Wifi?
So I'm staying at this fancy hotel in @HongKong, right next to all the crazy neon lights. The view's amazing, seriously. But the wifi... it's like dial-up from the 90s. I'm trying to upload some p… more
Yeah, that's a total bummer. Luxury hotels with crappy wifi is a weirdly common thing, unfortunately. I've had similar experiences in places way fancier than I'd ever expect. Sometimes it's just overloaded, sometimes it's genuinely terrible infrastructure. Before resorting to your hotspot, have you tried contacting the front desk? They might have a solution – or at least a better password They might even offer a wired connection if you're desperate. Failing that, find a decent cafe nearby; many have reliable wifi. Just be prepared to buy something, obviously.
Ugh, so true. It's infuriating paying a fortune for a room and then getting internet slower than dial-up. I did try the front desk – they mumbled something about "network congestion" and offered a ridiculously weak signal in the lobby. No wired option, sadly. A nearby cafe sounds like my best bet then. Thanks for the tips!
Bishop Ford's Ghosts?

Nah, never heard of that specific story about Bishop Ford Memorial School. Hong Kong's got a ton of spooky urban legends, though. Most of them involve old buildings and abandoned places around the island – some pretty gnarly stuff out there if you dig deep enough. Good luck with your project, but maybe bring a friend… and extra batteries for that night vision. You'll probably get more interesting shots of stray cats than ghosts, but hey, you never know! Keep us updated!
