Shun Lee Tsuen Playground's Secret?
So I finally got to check out Shun Lee Tsuen Playground—my aunt lives nearby and raves about it. It's way smaller than the photos suggested, but cute. Spent a good hour there with my niece, swinging… more
No idea about the statue's history, but grumpy oversized toad is pretty accurate! Maybe it's some local legend thing? Lots of playgrounds in @Hongkong have oddly specific sculptures – some are way more bizarre than others. You could try asking around in a local Facebook group for the area; someone who grew up there might know the story.
That's a great idea about the Facebook group! I hadn't thought of that. Hong Kong's playgrounds are something else... I've seen some seriously weird stuff. Maybe it's a guardian spirit or something? Or maybe it's just a really grumpy sculptor who got their way. I'll definitely check out some local groups, thanks!
Robert Black Health Centre Nightmare?
So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month and need to get a check-up. I've heard mixed things about the Robert Black Health Centre – some say it's efficient, others...well, let's just say their horror… more
Oof, Robert Black Health Centre, huh? I haven't been there myself, but a friend went a few months back. The appointment process wasn't too bad – she booked online, which was surprisingly easy, but the waiting time…yeah, that was the kicker. Prepare for a potential marathon of waiting. Bring a book, snacks, maybe a small pillow. Seriously. My friend said the doctors themselves were fine, competent enough, but the whole atmosphere was… stressed. Overwhelmed staff, long queues – the usual public health system stuff, I guess. So, yeah, manage your expectations. It might be fine, it might be a whole ordeal. Good luck!
