Trends in Hong Kong
ICC Elevator Speed?
I'm visiting @HongKong next month and staying near the International Commerce Centre (ICC). Heard the elevators are ridiculously fast – like, *ridiculously* fast. Anyone who's been up there, can you… more
It's faster than you think. Seriously. I felt a tiny bit of pressure in my ears, like on a plane taking off, but mostly it was just... whoosh. Gone. You won't even have time to process the speed. The view is amazing, though, totally worth the slightly unnerving ascent. Forget the stairs – unless you enjoy a solid cardio workout before even beginning your sightseeing. You’ll be fine.
Central's Hidden Lanes?
So I'm heading to Central next week, buzzing to explore. I've seen all the fancy shops and restaurants online, but I'm really interested in finding those little tucked-away alleys and street food sta… more
Just get lost. Seriously. That's the best way to find those hidden spots in Central. Don't rely on a map, just wander. Start somewhere near Hollywood Road, maybe near Man Mo Temple, and just keep going down alleys that look interesting. You'll find yourself in places Google Maps hasn't even indexed. The wonton place? Probably won't be on any list. That's part of the fun. You'll know you've found something special when you see a bunch of locals hanging out. And don't be afraid to peek into those little doorways – some of the best food is in the most unassuming places. You'll probably need to speak some Cantonese to navigate – or just point and smile a lot! Good luck and enjoy the adventure!
