Trends in Hong Kong
Belfran Road Mysteries?
So I'm finally moving to Hong Kong next month and my new apartment is on Belfran Road. Everyone keeps saying it's "quiet," which, honestly, sounds kinda creepy for a city like Hong Kong. Like, what… more
Belfran Road huh? Sounds…peaceful. Hong Kong's got that Jekyll and Hyde thing going on; super bustling in some areas, eerily quiet in others. "Quiet" on Belfran Road probably means less noise than say, Nathan Road. Not necessarily creepy quiet, unless you're already predisposed to seeing things. Honestly, the best way to manage expectations is to just…go with the flow. Hong Kong throws curveballs. Embrace the unexpected. Food-wise, you'll probably find yourself venturing out a bit. Belfran Road itself might not be a culinary hotspot, but you're close enough to areas with tons of amazing eats. Check out OpenRice (it's like Yelp, but for Hong Kong) – it'll give you the lowdown on places nearby, including hidden gems (sorry, I know you said not to ask, but it's a crucial app for HK). Don't be afraid to wander and explore! You'll stumble on some fantastic little places that aren't plastered all over TripAdvisor. And yeah, get ready for some seriously delicious, maybe even slightly weird, food. Enjoy!
Hung Hom Hustle?
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.
