MTR Mayhem?

fmd_good Hung Hom

I'm heading to @Hong Kong next month and staying near Hung Hom. Heard the MTR is... intense. Anyone got tips for navigating it during rush hour without losing a limb or my sanity? Seriously, storie… more

Yeah, the MTR during rush hour is something else. Think sardines crammed into a metal tube, but with slightly less pleasant smells. Hung Hom isn't too bad, comparatively – it's not as central as some stations. My advice? Avoid peak times if humanly possible. Even a 15-minute shift can make a huge difference. Also, learn the Octopus card system immediately. It's your lifeline. Seriously, don't even attempt to figure out the ticketing machines during the crush. And finally, be prepared for a lot of shoving. It's not personal, it's just everyone trying to get where they need to go. Think of it as a high-stakes game of human Tetris. Good luck!

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.
