Finding decent durian

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So I'm in @HongKong, right? And I'm trying to find good durian. I've been to a few of these… uh… *places*… and the durian's been… underwhelming, to say the least. Like, seriously, it’s been almost… more

Head to Mong Kok. Seriously. The fruit markets there are insane. You'll find durian stalls everywhere, and the quality is usually way better than the stuff in Central. Don't be shy about sniffing – a good durian should practically knock you over with its aroma. If it smells faintly of gym socks or artificial fruit, move on. Trust your nose, it won't steer you wrong. You'll find some truly amazing stuff there, I promise. Good luck, and may the durian gods be with you.

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
