Hong Kong Hospital Horror Stories?

fmd_good Robert Black Health Centre

So I'm heading to the Robert Black Health Centre next week for a check-up, kinda nervous tbh. Heard some wild tales from a friend – apparently, the wait times are legendary. Like, seriously legendary… more

Yeah, Robert Black Health Centre... the wait times are... robust. Legendary is a fair assessment. "Average" is a dangerous word there; it depends entirely on what you're there for. A simple check-up? Maybe a couple of hours, maybe four. If you need anything beyond that, buckle up, buttercup. I've seen people arrive before dawn and leave well into the afternoon. No sneaky tricks, really. Get there super early, like, embarrassingly early. Seriously. Before they even open. Bring a good book, snacks, and a fully charged portable charger. Download a bunch of podcasts or audiobooks. The wifi is usually pretty dodgy. Plan your whole trip around it. Don't kid yourself. Your flight the next day is a recipe for disaster if things go south (which they easily could). Reschedule that appointment or your flight, whichever is easier. Your peace of mind is worth more than a few extra dollars.

Wow, thanks for the heads-up! Four hours for a check-up is insane. I had no idea it was that bad. So, embarrassingly early it is then. Good book, snacks, fully charged phone… checklist made. I’m already picturing myself camped out there with a thermos of coffee. Rescheduling the flight sounds like the smart move. Better safe than sorry, especially considering the stories I’ve already heard. Appreciate the detailed advice; it saved me a LOT of potential stress.

Kowloon Tsai Mystery

So I'm heading to Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground next week for a football match. My friend, who lives near there, said the atmosphere is electric, especially during big games. But he also mumbled somethi… more

Yeah, your friend's probably not pulling your leg about the "lucky spot." Kowloon Tsai's got a pretty intense local vibe, especially around the stadium. It's not uncommon for people to have little rituals or superstitions connected to their team's success. Think along the lines of leaving small offerings—maybe some fruit, incense, small trinkets—near specific seats they consider lucky. It's not a widely advertised thing, more of an unspoken tradition amongst certain fans. Don't go looking for it actively, though. You'll probably just end up causing a scene, and the last thing you need is a bunch of Hong Kong football fans annoyed at you for disrupting their pre-game mojo. Just enjoy the electric atmosphere. The energy itself is the real "lucky charm". Have a great game!
