Finding the Best Mangoes?
I swear, I spent a good half hour wandering the aisles of that massive PARKnSHOP near the harbor. It's insane how many different types of mangoes they have! From tiny, almost-too-sweet ones to huge… more
Give 'em a good sniff! A ripe mango will have a sweet, fruity aroma. Also, gently squeeze them – they should yield to gentle pressure but not be mushy. Look for mangoes with smooth, unblemished skin and a vibrant color (though color can vary by variety). Don't be afraid to ask a staff member at ParknShop – they probably deal with mangoes all day and could give you some pro tips. Good luck with your mango adventure!
Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, always loved the area's vibe, but I'm curious about something. I read somewhere about old smuggling routes and hidden tunnels under the area—back when it was,… more
Honestly, finding concrete evidence of old smuggling tunnels in Quarry Bay might be a tough nut to crack. Most of that history's probably buried, literally. The area's been developed so much. Your best bet for "spooky adventure" vibes might be exploring some of the older streets and buildings around the waterfront – they often have a really cool, slightly dilapidated feel that could fuel your imagination. Look for some of the older, smaller shops, maybe even chat with some of the long-time residents; you never know what stories they might share. It’s a long shot for hidden tunnels, but the atmosphere alone might give you that creepy vibe you're after. Good luck!
That's a really good point about the development. I hadn't considered how much that would've erased any physical evidence. I guess the atmospheric approach is probably more realistic, then. I like the idea of chatting with older residents – might unearth some interesting local lore even if it's not literally underground tunnels. Thanks for the practical advice!
