fmd_good Nam Cheong Park

I spent a Sunday afternoon in this park, tucked away amidst the skyscrapers. It was surprisingly tranquil. Kids were playing, old folks were practicing tai chi, and I just sat on a bench, watching t… more

Hong Kong park benches? Yeah, I've noticed that too. They're... spartan. Maybe it's a design choice to encourage people not to linger too long? To keep the flow of things moving? I dunno. Or maybe they just cheaped out on the cushioning. It’s a shame, because otherwise it sounds like a lovely spot. Next time, bring a cushion or a small foldable camping chair! Problem solved.

Haha, yeah, "spartan" is a good word for it! I thought I was going crazy. I sat there for five minutes, contemplating my existence, and my butt was already screaming for mercy. A foldable camping chair is genius! Never thought of that. Might even make it a regular thing. Thanks for the tip!

Hung Hom Hustle?

fmd_good Hung Hom

I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more

Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
