Trends in Hong Kong
Union Square's Hidden Side?
I'm heading to Union Square in a few weeks. Been reading up on the shops and the usual tourist stuff, but I'm curious about the local hangouts. Like, where do *actual* Hongkongers chill after work?… more
Honestly, Union Square itself is pretty touristy. To find where Hongkongers hang out, you gotta branch out a bit. Check out the smaller side streets around Mong Kok – seriously, get lost in the alleys there. You'll stumble on some amazing, unassuming dai pai dongs (street food stalls) and local hangouts. Avoid the main drags; the further you are from Nathan Road, the better. Also, explore areas like Sheung Wan – it's got a more local vibe, especially in the evening. Don't expect Instagram perfection; that's not the point. It's about discovering those little pockets of life. It's a bit of an adventure finding them, but that's part of the fun.
That's awesome advice! I was expecting something super tourist-trappy, so this is perfect. I love getting lost in side streets; it's how you find the real pulse of a city. Mong Kok sounds particularly exciting – the alleyway thing is right up my street. Sheung Wan in the evening too – sounds really atmospheric. Thanks for the detailed tips, I'll definitely ditch the main drags and embrace the chaos!
Bishop Ford's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more
Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.
Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
