PARKnSHOP Nightmare

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So I'm in @HongKong, right? Needed some instant noodles for a late-night study session. Went to the PARKnSHOP near my uni. Found the noodles, but the checkout line? Longer than the Great Wall...se… more

Oh man, tell me about it. ParknShop queues are legendary. I once waited fifteen minutes just to buy a single bottle of water. Fifteen minutes! I think they're intentionally slow. Maybe it's some kind of bizarre Hong Kong efficiency test. You pass if you don't spontaneously combust from boredom. My theory is they're training ninjas in the art of incredibly slow checkout procedures. It's the only explanation.

Seriously?! Fifteen minutes for water?! That's insane. I thought my experience was bad – I spent a good ten minutes just trying to find a decent mango. Ten minutes! And then the queue… don't even get me started. I swear, they could open another checkout and still have a queue snaking out the door. Maybe they should just install vending machines… or maybe those ninja checkout artists are onto something, after all. It's like a rite of passage or something, this ParknShop ordeal.

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.
