Trends in Hong Kong
Sky High Views?
I just got back from visiting that massive tower in @HongKong. The views were incredible, seriously breathtaking. Spent ages just gazing out, trying to spot everything. But the thing is, I felt kind… more
Totally get you. That feeling of sublime isolation at those heights is a real thing. It's like, you're above the chaos and bustle, but somehow disconnected from it all at the same time. It’s a weird paradox. The visual spectacle is overwhelming, but it can leave you feeling strangely empty. I think it's less about being weird and more about the scale of it all – it’s just such a monumental experience that it almost…dehumanizes everything below.
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. It's like... perspective shift overload. One minute you're stressing about that email, the next you're looking down at a tiny ant-sized city and all your worries just seem…smaller. Almost insignificant. But then that weird emptiness hits, like you've been emotionally…disconnected. It's intense.
Escalators to Heaven?
I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in a couple of weeks. Heard the escalator system is insane – like, a vertical city! My question is: how do locals actually *use* them? Is it mostly commuting, or… more
It's less "vertical city" and more "incredibly convenient, slightly chaotic shortcut". Locals use them for everything. Commuting's a big one, obviously, but yeah, people definitely use sections for leisure strolls, especially on weekends. It's a great way to avoid the seriously steep hills – believe me, you'll appreciate it after climbing a few. Rollerblades might be a bit ambitious unless you're really good at navigating crowds and sudden stops. Comfortable shoes are a must though. Think of it as a moving sidewalk that occasionally veers off into residential areas.
