Central's Hidden Lanes?
So I'm heading to Central in a few weeks, it's my first time in Hong Kong. I've read about the skyscrapers and the shopping, but I'm really interested in exploring the smaller streets and alleys – th… more
So you're going to Central? Awesome! Forget the big stuff for a bit. Head towards Hollywood Road – it's got some antique shops, but wander off Hollywood Road, down the smaller side streets. You'll find yourself in a maze of tiny places, some with seriously good, cheap eats. Also, check out the area around Man Mo Temple; the streets around there are less manicured, more lived-in. You'll stumble upon all sorts. Don't be afraid to just get lost – that's half the fun! You'll find those little noodle shops you're after, I'm sure of it. Just keep your eyes peeled and your stomach ready. You might even discover a hidden bar or two…
That's brilliant advice! Hollywood Road hadn't even crossed my mind. I love getting lost in those little alleyways – the best finds are always the accidental ones. Thanks for the Man Mo Temple tip too; I'd completely overlooked that area. Sounds like a proper adventure is in store. I'm already picturing myself happily stuffed with delicious, cheap noodles. Can't wait!
Bishop Ford's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more
Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.
Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
