MTR Mayhem?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

So I'm heading to @HongKong next month, specifically Quarry Bay. My friend swears by the MTR, says it's the fastest way around. But, I've heard horror stories about peak hour crowds… like, sardines-i… more

MTR during rush hour in Quarry Bay is... intense. Think less sardines, more tightly packed Lego bricks. If you're not used to it, it's a shock. My suggestion? Try to travel slightly outside of peak hours. Even 15 minutes can make a huge difference. Check a journey planner app beforehand – most show crowding levels. And if you absolutely have to travel during peak, try to find a less crowded line to transfer to – sometimes a slightly longer route avoids the worst of it. Taxis are pricey, but sometimes peace of mind is worth it, especially if you’re carrying lots of luggage. Weigh up your priorities!

Yeah, that sounds about right. Lego bricks is a perfect description! I've heard horror stories. I'm usually pretty good at navigating the MTR, but Quarry Bay during rush hour... that's a whole different beast. Good tip about the journey planner apps though, I hadn't thought of checking crowding levels. Definitely going to do that next time. Thanks!

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.
