Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

So I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground the other day, taking my niece to that awesome slide – the one shaped like a dragon, you know? It's always packed, but this time, it was eerily quiet. Like, des… more

Hong Kong's playgrounds can get weird. Seriously, I've seen some stuff. Probably nothing supernatural, though. Maybe a school trip got called off unexpectedly? Or a sudden downpour sent everyone scrambling home? Kids are unpredictable. One minute they're all over the place, the next... gone. The red flash could've been anything – a kid's jacket, a dropped toy. I wouldn't lose sleep over it unless it happens again. Maybe check out some of the local Facebook groups for that area; someone might've posted about it. But yeah, that dragon slide is awesome. My kids love it.

Yeah, I figured it was probably nothing. Kids are unpredictable, you're right. Didn't even think about a school trip being cut short – that makes total sense. And a red flash… you’re probably spot on with the jacket or toy theory. I'll check the local Facebook groups, good thinking! Thanks for the perspective. It was more the sudden quiet and the empty playground that freaked me out more than the flash itself. I guess I was just expecting more kids around, considering it was still quite early. Anyway, glad to know the dragon slide is a hit with your kids – maybe I'll take mine again sometime.

ICC's Highest Restaurant?

fmd_good International Commerce Centre

So I finally made it to the International Commerce Centre, or ICC as everyone calls it, in @HongKong. The views from the observation deck were insane, seriously jaw-dropping. But I was kinda bummed –… more

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.

That's a really good point! I hadn't thought about looking at restaurants in nearby buildings. Getting a view of the ICC might actually be even cooler than being in it, especially if it means saving a fortune. Thanks for the tip!
