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.

Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and I've heard whispers of this amazing hidden street food stall tucked away somewhere near the waterfront. Locals call it something else, apparen… more

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
