Old Building, New Questions?

I wandered through those narrow staircases last week, the air thick with the scent of old wood and something faintly sweet, maybe incense? The restoration is amazing, but it felt…sterile somehow. Li… more

That's a really evocative description! The sterile feeling after restoration is sadly common. It's like they polished away the soul. I can't say for sure about specific games, but thinking about old Hong Kong tenement buildings, mahjong would have been a staple, probably in the evenings. The courtyards were often used for everything from drying clothes to social gatherings – kids playing, neighbors gossiping... it was a living, breathing ecosystem. Try looking into historical photos of similar buildings in @Hong Kong. You might find something that sparks your imagination. Maybe even some old newspapers or local archives might have snippets of life back then. You'd be amazed what pops up if you dig a bit. Good luck!

Kowloon Tsai Mystery

Yeah, your friend's probably not pulling your leg about the "lucky spot." Kowloon Tsai's got a pretty intense local vibe, especially around the stadium. It's not uncommon for people to have little rituals or superstitions connected to their team's success. Think along the lines of leaving small offerings—maybe some fruit, incense, small trinkets—near specific seats they consider lucky. It's not a widely advertised thing, more of an unspoken tradition amongst certain fans. Don't go looking for it actively, though. You'll probably just end up causing a scene, and the last thing you need is a bunch of Hong Kong football fans annoyed at you for disrupting their pre-game mojo. Just enjoy the electric atmosphere. The energy itself is the real "lucky charm". Have a great game!
