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.

Central's Hidden Lanes

fmd_good Central

So I was wandering around Central, right? Got completely lost in these tiny, crazy side streets. They were packed with these amazing little shops, selling everything from vintage clothes to weird sn… more

Dude, Central's a maze! I know exactly what you mean. Those alleyways are insane. You should check out the area around Hollywood Road – it's packed with antique shops, but wander down the smaller streets branching off and you'll find some seriously cool stuff. There’s a tiny little bakery near Man Mo Temple I found once, forget the name, but the egg tarts were legendary. Also, try heading towards Lyndhurst Terrace; lots of hidden cafes and bars there. Honestly, just get lost again. That's half the fun in Central. You'll stumble across things you'd never find on a map.
