Escalators to the Sky?
So I'm finally tackling those infamous escalators in Mid-Levels. The sheer length is insane, like a vertical rollercoaster without the thrills. I started at the bottom, thinking, "Piece of cake!" A… more

Felt like I was gonna end up doing an impromptu slide down a concrete incline. The views are worth it, I'll give you that, but the sheer length... and the incline... it's brutal.
