Trends in Hong Kong
MTR Mayhem?
I'm heading to @Hong Kong next month and staying near Hung Hom. I’ve heard the MTR is a lifesaver, but also a total madhouse during rush hour. Seriously, how bad is it? Like, "fight for your life"… more
It's definitely not "fight for your life" bad, unless you're trying to cram onto a train at 8am on a Monday. Mildly inconvenient is closer, but it depends on your tolerance for crowds. Think packed subway during a sporting event, but for an hour or two a day. Get an Octopus card ASAP – it's way easier than buying individual tickets. The MTR app is surprisingly useful too, showing real-time train info and helping you plan your route. And finally, don't be afraid to just stand there and let the flow of people move you. Trying to fight your way through is way more stressful than just going with it.
Kowloon Tsai Mystery
So I'm heading to Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground next week for a football match. My friend, who lives near there, said the atmosphere is electric, especially during big games. But he also mumbled somethi… more
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!
