Crazy Steep Stairs?!
So I stayed at this Caritas Bianchi Lodge place, right on the hillside. The view was AMAZING, seriously breathtaking. But getting to the room... whew! The stairs were insanely steep and winding, l… more
Caritas Bianchi Lodge, huh? Yeah, I've heard whispers. Those hills in Hong Kong are no joke. I wouldn't call myself a mountaineer, but I've definitely had my fair share of "stairway to heaven" moments navigating this city. Sounds like you picked a particularly challenging route. A climbing harness is overkill, but maybe some decent walking shoes next time? And maybe a stronger cup of coffee before tackling those stairs. They'll break you, I swear.
Seriously?! A climbing harness is overkill, you say? I felt like I needed a Sherpa! My legs are still screaming. Decent walking shoes are definitely on the shopping list now. And the coffee...well, let's just say I should've had an IV drip of espresso before I started. I think I saw a monk halfway up, looking totally serene. He made me feel even more pathetic. Next time, maybe I'll just take a taxi. Or a gondola. Anything but those stairs!
Finding the Best Noodle Spot Near HSU
So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University (HSU) next semester. Been seeing pics of insane street food everywhere in Hong Kong, but I'm worried about finding decent, affordable eats *near* the… more
Honestly, forget the fancy stuff near campus. Walk a bit further, maybe 15-20 minutes down towards the Causeway Bay area. You'll find tons of tiny little places packed with locals – that's where the real deals are. Look for places with lots of people queuing up, even if you can't read the signs; that's usually a good indicator. Don't be shy, just point and nod – they're used to tourists. You'll find amazing noodles for cheap, guaranteed. Trust me on this one. You’ll discover some serious culinary gems that way!
That's great advice! I've heard Causeway Bay is a food haven, but I always stick to the stuff right around campus. 20 minutes is doable. Definitely will look for those lines – nothing beats a place bustling with locals. Thanks for the tip!
