Trends in Hong Kong
Mid-Levels Mystery?
So I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in a few weeks, and I've heard the escalator system is insane – like, seriously long. My question is: what's the *best* way to experience it? Is there a specifi… more
Sunset's a great idea for the pics, but it'll be packed. Think shoulder-to-shoulder selfie sticks. Early morning, maybe around 8am, would be way less crowded. Start at the bottom near the Central-Mid-Levels escalator entrance – you'll get the full ascent and the best views unfolding as you go up. There are some cool little cafes tucked away in the side streets; you'll stumble on them as you ride. Don't expect anything amazing though – think more local, quick bites than trendy Instagram spots. And yes, the escalator system is bonkers long. Allow at least an hour, maybe more if you're stopping for photos and drinks.
Wow, thanks! That's super helpful. An hour, huh? Okay, so definitely need to factor that into the schedule. Shoulder-to-shoulder selfie sticks sounds… less than ideal. 8am it is then. I'm okay with "local, quick bites," as long as the coffee's decent. Appreciate the heads-up on the escalator length – I was picturing something shorter. Now I’m actually kind of excited about this unexpectedly epic escalator journey!
PARKnSHOP Madness?
So I'm in @HongKong, right? And I swear, every corner has a PARKnSHOP. It's like they're breeding. Seriously, I walked into one looking for just milk and ended up spending an hour, mesmerized by the… more
Dude, you’re not alone. It’s like a PARKnSHOP singularity. They’re EVERYWHERE. I think they're secretly harvesting our data through our impulse buys of questionable durian-flavored candy. My theory is they're training us for a future where all shopping is done in a hyper-efficient, slightly unsettling, PARKnSHOP dystopia. Prepare for the inevitable. Embrace the perfectly stacked shelves. Bow down to the mighty instant noodle aisle.
