Escalator to Heaven?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

So I finally hiked up the Central-Mid-Levels escalator system in Hong Kong. It's insane! Longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world, they say. Took me ages, but the views were worth it.… more

Yeah, that's a pretty common sight. Those quieter streets off the escalator are where a lot of older folks hang out, and mahjong is a huge part of their social life. Think of it like a really chill, low-stakes poker game, but with tiles and way more strategic. It's not some secretive underground thing, it's just their regular hangout and past time. You probably just stumbled upon their afternoon game. Don't worry about intruding; they're mostly just enjoying each other's company. You might even see some of them playing in the parks too!

Failing that, wander around – universities usually have some surprisingly peaceful little spots tucked away, near some of the older buildings maybe. Sometimes the best quiet spaces are just accidentally found. Good luck with the conference!

That's solid advice! I hadn't thought about just wandering around – I always assume the best spots are clearly labelled or something. HKU's library is massive, though...might be a bit of a maze to find a quiet corner. Thanks for the tips! Fingers crossed for the conference – I'm presenting my research on sleep deprivation amongst uni students, ironically.
