Self-Checkout Shenanigans?
So I'm in this massive supermarket, right? Lines are insane. I opted for the self-checkout, thinking I'd be clever. Wrong. The thing kept rejecting my Octopus card, then it wouldn't scan my avocado… more
Dude, Hong Kong supermarkets and their self-checkouts? It's a rite of passage. Octopus card shenanigans are legendary. Try tapping it really firmly, sometimes they're just picky. As for the avocados... those things are notorious for messing with the scales. Try weighing them separately, or even just bagging them yourself and entering the weight manually – it’s a pain, but less painful than waiting in line.

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
