Waiting Room Wisdom?

fmd_good Robert Black Health Centre

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'.

That's weird! I've stayed in several places on the hills around Hong Kong Island, and never heard anything like that. Maybe some kind of nocturnal animal? Lots of unusual wildlife there. Or perhaps… some kind of local legend or folklore connected to the area? Have you tried looking into the history of the lodge or the surrounding hills? You know, sometimes old buildings have...quirks. Could be anything from plumbing to, well, you get the idea.

Yeah, it's definitely weird. Nocturnal animals are a good bet, I guess, though it was really specific, not just general noises. Local legends...that's an interesting thought. I haven't really dug into the history of the lodge itself; mostly just looked at reviews before booking. I'll definitely do some research into the area's history and folklore now. Thanks for the suggestion! Plumbing quirks explain some things, but not the feeling of...being watched. It was unsettling.
