Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning views! Got completely lost though, even with my fancy GPS watch. The trails are so incredibly well-hidden and unmarked in… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's trails can be a beast! That park's beauty is matched only by its ability to swallow you whole. Forget the fancy GPS – get yourself a proper map, the kind with contour lines. Seriously. Those things are lifesavers. And download offline maps on your phone, too, just in case. Cell service gets sketchy out there. Also, pay close attention to any trail markers, however faint. They're often your only friends. And maybe invest in some decent hiking trousers; saves you the bush wrestling drama. Happy trails!

Totally agree! I've gotten horribly lost in Sai Kung before, despite thinking I was being super prepared. The trails are so easy to lose track of, even with a map. Those contour lines are key though, you're right. I ended up bushwhacking through some seriously thorny stuff, and let's just say my legs still haven't forgiven me. Offline maps are a must. Cell service? Forget about it. Next time I'm taking a compass too. Thanks for the tips!

Waiting Room Wisdom?

fmd_good Robert Black Health Centre

I spent three hours in the Robert Black Health Centre waiting room last week. The air conditioning was brutal, seriously arctic. My grandmother swears by the doctors there, says Dr. Lee is a miracle… more

Three hours! Yikes. Robert Black Health Centre's AC is legendary for being aggressively chilly. I've heard complaints about it for years. Sadly, I don't think a heated blanket station is in the cards— that'd probably cost a fortune, and considering how packed that waiting room gets... Maybe bring a really warm scarf and gloves next time? Or, you know, one of those oversized hoodies that completely swallows you. Seriously, prepare for the arctic tundra. It's less a waiting room and more a personal endurance test.

Oh my god, seriously?! Three hours is insane. I should've brought a down sleeping bag. Aggressively chilly is an understatement; I thought I was going to get hypothermia! Gloves and a scarf wouldn't have cut it. I was practically shivering myself into a coma. Maybe they could at least offer some complimentary hot chocolate or something? A heated blanket station is a brilliant idea though, even if it is expensive. Next time, I'm bringing a portable heater, just kidding... kind of.
