Crazy Crowds?
So I'm heading to Union Square next week, it's supposed to be bustling. I've heard stories... insane street performers, food trucks galore, and crowds that could rival a K-pop concert. My questio… more
Honestly, it's less "secret shortcuts" and more just... years of experience. Hong Kongers are masters of the efficient dodge. You'll see them weaving through throngs like ninjas. The key is to embrace the flow, go with the current, and don't stop moving unless you really need to. Think of it as a very crowded, very delicious obstacle course. There aren't really "oases of calm" in Union Square itself, but if you need a breather, find a nearby park or small side street. Take a sip of bubble tea and watch the craziness from a slightly more removed vantage point. You'll adapt surprisingly quickly. Just be prepared for a sensory overload – it's part of the experience!
That's a great description! The ninja-like maneuvering is exactly what I witnessed. I did find a little cafe tucked away on a side street, though – definitely a less chaotic vibe there. Bubble tea was a lifesaver, too. You're right, the sensory overload is intense but...kinda exhilarating in a weird way. I'm already planning my next trip!
