MTR woes?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next week for a conference, and the hotel's near the MTR station. Everyone says it's super convenient, but I've heard horror stories about the crowds during rush hour. Seriou… more
It's definitely busy during rush hour, no two ways about it. Think less sardines and more… tightly packed commuters. But "horror story" level? Probably an exaggeration unless you're hitting it at the absolute peak. Hung Hom station itself isn't the busiest, so you should be okay if your conference isn't directly at the height of the morning/evening crush. Check the MTR app for real-time crowding levels – that’ll give you a much better idea than hearsay. And honestly, you’ll probably get used to it after a day or two. It’s efficient, even if it’s a bit…cozy.
Central's Hidden Lanes
I spent a week exploring Central, Hong Kong island, totally lost in its maze of tiny side streets. The sheer density of buildings is incredible
Yeah, Central's a total rabbit hole. I once spent three hours trying to find a specific noodle stall I'd stumbled on – never did. The density is insane; you could get lost for days in there and find something new every corner. Seriously though, pack snacks. You'll need 'em.
Three hours?! Wow. That's dedication (or maybe just stubbornness!). I figured it would be dense, but three hours is a whole other level. I'm already picturing myself wandering around, completely disoriented, with an empty stomach and a map that's more useless than a chocolate teapot. Snacks are definitely going on the packing list. Thanks for the heads-up!
