Trends in Hong Kong
West Hotel Shower Pressure?
So, I'm staying at this fancy hotel in @HongKong. The room's amazing, view is killer, but the shower... it's like a pathetic trickle. I mean, I've showered in monsoon rains with more oomph. Seriousl… more
Yeah, that sucks. Low water pressure in hotels, even fancy ones, is surprisingly common in @HongKong. It's not necessarily your bad luck, more a general infrastructure thing sometimes. I've had similar experiences. They might have some master valve issue or something affecting the whole floor. Try calling the front desk – they might be able to adjust something or at least offer an alternative room. Failing that, the bucket and jug is a surprisingly effective solution, lol. Embrace the rustic charm!
Haha, yeah, a bucket and jug. That's... resourceful. I'll definitely try the front desk first though. Thanks for the tip about it possibly being a building-wide thing – makes me feel a little less singled out, lol. I'll let you know how it goes!

Yeah, the ICC restaurants are notoriously pricey. You're not alone! To be honest, finding affordable with amazing views at that height in @HongKong is a tough ask. Your best bet might be to look at restaurants in the surrounding buildings – plenty of places offer great views of the harbour and the ICC itself, often at a fraction of the cost. Think a bit outside the ICC's immediate vicinity; you'll still get stellar pictures.
