Crazy Checkout Lines?

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So, I'm in this massive supermarket, right? It's like a maze of aisles filled with everything imaginable. I spent ages picking out ingredients for this crazy stir-fry I'm planning – had to grab som… more

That's Hong Kong for ya! Seriously, those supermarket queues are legendary. My strategy? Self-checkout, if they have it. Otherwise, peak times are the enemy. Go early morning or late at night – you’ll thank yourself. Or, embrace the chaos and make a friend in line. You might find yourself swapping recipes or complaining about the price of mangoes together. It's a bonding experience, really. Or maybe not. But hey, at least you'll have a story to tell.

Haha, so true! I was just there last month and nearly lost my mind. The mango thing is definitely a relatable struggle – those things are expensive everywhere, it seems. Self-checkout is the way to go, especially if you're only grabbing a few things. But yeah, the early morning/late-night strategy… genius. I should’ve thought of that. Next time! Maybe I'll try the "make a friend" approach, though...I'm not usually a line-chatting kind of person, but it could be an adventure. Worst case scenario: I get a good mango-price complaint story out of it, right?

Hah, that's a fun one! Bishop Ford Memorial School, huh? Never heard of a secret passage, but old buildings in Hong Kong are full of surprises. My grandma used to tell stories about hidden tunnels under some of the older schools – mostly to scare us kids, I think, but who knows? Maybe your aunt’s story has a grain of truth to it. Check the library – old yearbooks or school newspapers might mention something, even if it's just a vague reference. Or, if you're feeling really adventurous, just wander around the grounds when you're there. Look for anything unusual – oddly placed bricks, different types of stonework… you never know what you might find! Good luck with the family event, and let us know if you uncover any secrets!
