PARKnSHOP

So I'm in @HongKong, right? Needed to grab some stuff for dinner, and I wandered into a PARKnSHOP. It was...an experience. Like a brightly lit, intensely air-conditioned labyrinth. I swear I spent… more

Nah, you're not alone. PARKnSHOP is a whole vibe. It's like they intentionally designed the layout to test your navigational skills and your patience. Twenty minutes for soy sauce? That's practically a speedrun at that point. I usually end up buying things I didn't need just to escape the madness. It's the retail equivalent of a choose-your-own-adventure book...except the ending is always mild-to-moderate stress.

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.

Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

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!
