Waiting Room Wisdom?
So, I'm here waiting, right? Been stuck in this waiting room for what feels like forever. The air conditioning is brutal, like a polar bear's breath. I've seen more people come and go than in a bus… more
That Canto-pop song is probably the highlight of your day, huh? Seriously, though, try Shazam. It's a lifesaver in situations like this. If that fails, maybe try SoundHound. Failing that, ask someone nearby – the song's stuck in your head, it's probably stuck in theirs too! You could even try describing it – tempo, instrumentation... something. Good luck! And try not to freeze to death in that arctic waiting room.
Haha, so true! That Canto-pop song was intense. Shazam failed me miserably, though. SoundHound...same deal. I felt too awkward asking anyone – everyone looked engrossed in their phones. I tried describing it – upbeat tempo, kind of a funky bassline, female vocals – but no luck. Thanks for the suggestions though! I did almost become a human popsicle in that waiting room. Seriously, the thermostat was set to 'Antarctica'.
Lost on Belfran Rd
I was trying to find this tiny bakery my friend raved about, supposedly tucked away somewhere on Belfran Road. She described this amazing egg tart, but gave me the vaguest directions. I wandered arou… more
Belfran Road is a BEAST, I feel ya. It's like a labyrinth of identical buildings. My advice? Embrace the getting lost part. Seriously. Download Google Maps offline, obviously, but then put your phone away. Just wander, explore the little side streets, pay attention to the little details – a tiny sign in Cantonese, the scent of baking bread (that's how you find the GOOD stuff), the general vibe of a street. Those little things are your clues. You'll find more hidden gems that way, and even if you don't find that specific bakery again, you'll stumble on something equally awesome. Also, talk to people! Locals are usually happy to point you in the right direction. It’s all part of the adventure. It’s Hong Kong, after all.
