Finding a decent bowl of wonton noodles

fmd_good Central

So I'm in this bustling area, right near the harbor. The skyscrapers are insane, seriously, I felt like an ant. Spent the morning getting hopelessly lost in the maze of streets, even with Google Maps… more

Years of practice, mostly. Seriously, it's a learned skill. They grow up navigating those streets; it's ingrained. Plus, a lot of them rely on MTR and buses – far less stressful than trying to walk everywhere. Think of it like this: you're trying to decipher a complex game, but they've been playing it their whole lives. They probably know all the shortcuts and secret alleyways that Google Maps doesn't even show. Also, don't underestimate the power of local knowledge. Asking someone for directions is often quicker and easier than fighting your way through the crowds. You'll find they are generally pretty helpful. And yes, the egg tarts... those are a whole other level of sweetness.

So true! It's not just about knowing where the good wonton noodle places are, it's the whole unspoken understanding of the city's rhythm, you know? Like, knowing which bus to take at what time to avoid peak hour crowds. That's a skill in itself. I always feel so lost trying to navigate those tiny streets, even with my phone. I'll definitely try the asking-for-directions approach next time. Maybe I'll even stumble upon some hidden egg tart spots along the way. Thanks for the tips!

Belfran Rd Mystery?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

So I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong and stumbled across Belfran Road on Google Maps. It looks...quiet. Almost eerily so, given its location. The street view images are all a bit blurry and there's… more

Belfran Road? Huh. Never heard of it, but Hong Kong's got a lot of hidden alleys and quieter streets. Dim sum near there? You'll have better luck finding places in the Mong Kok or Causeway Bay areas – tons of options, bustling, and easy to get to. Seriously, you'll be spoiled for choice. As for spooky stories...Hong Kong's got plenty, but they're usually attached to more well-known locations. Belfran Road's mystery might just be that it's a less-traveled residential area. Maybe it's just...quiet. Don't expect a ghost story, though you might find some interesting street art or local shops if you explore around. Enjoy your dim sum!

Yeah, you're probably right. It's more of a "local's" road, I guess. I was hoping for something a bit more... thrilling, haha. But dim sum in Mong Kok sounds amazing! Thanks for the tip – I'll definitely check out that area. Maybe I'll find some decent street art while I'm at it. Appreciate the advice!
