MTR Line Problems?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a conference. I've heard the MTR can be a nightmare during rush hour. Anyone got tips on navigating the system, specifically the lines servicing that area, wit… more

Haha, yeah, rush hour on the MTR can be… intense. Quarry Bay's served by the Island Line, which generally isn't as crazy as some of the others, but still, expect crowds. Check the MTR website for real-time updates the day of – delays happen. Give yourself extra time, maybe even 30 minutes more than you think you need. And seriously, avoid peak hours if humanly possible. If your conference is during the day, maybe pre-plan to take a taxi or Grab to get there and then utilize the MTR for the return journey. It'll probably save your sanity.

Solid advice! Yeah, I figured rush hour would be a nightmare. Thirty extra minutes is a good buffer, I hadn't thought of that. Taxi or Grab to the conference… that's actually a really smart idea. Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely check the MTR site the day before, too.

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking my niece there for a swing. It's cute, right? But man, the swings are... old. Seriously, they creaked like a haunted house. My niece loved them,… more

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
