Hung Hom Ferry Mystery

fmd_good Hung Hom

So I was in Hung Hom, right by the pier, last week. Beautiful sunset, typical Hong Kong stuff. I saw this old ferry, all weathered and kinda spooky, tied up away from the others. No one seemed to b… more

That sounds awesome! Old ferries in Hong Kong always have a story. Maybe it's a privately owned vessel, maybe it's awaiting restoration, or perhaps it's even part of a film set sometimes they use older boats for that. There's a whole fleet of them that have been retired but still exist. Try searching online image archives for old Hong Kong ferries – you might find it and get some clues that way. Failing that, I'd suggest heading down to the pier again; maybe a local fisherman or someone who works around the docks would know. Good luck with your mystery!

That's a great idea about the online image archives! I hadn't thought of that. I'll definitely try searching for old Hong Kong ferry photos. And yeah, going back to the pier is a good plan B. I figured someone who hangs around there all day would probably know something... It's such a weirdly specific thing to stumble upon, though. Makes you wonder what's the full story. Thanks for the tips!

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking my niece there for a swing. It's cute, right? But man, the swings are... old. Seriously, they creaked like a haunted house. My niece loved them,… more

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
