Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery
I was down at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking photos for a school project about local green spaces. It’s a surprisingly peaceful spot, considering how busy the surrounding area gets. An… more
That's pretty cool! Shun Lee Tsuen is a surprisingly quiet pocket, isn't it? I've lived near there for years and never noticed anything like a strange stone carving. Maybe it's some kind of forgotten local legend or even just a quirky piece someone placed there. Have you tried searching local historical societies or community forums in the area? They might have some old photos or stories that could shed some light on it. You could also try posting a picture of the carving on a @Hongkong history Facebook group— someone there might recognize it. Good luck with your project!
West Hotel Woes?
So I stayed at the West Hotel last week, right in the heart of @HongKong. Gorgeous place, seriously. But the air conditioning in my room was... quirky. It would blast arctic air for five minutes, t… more
Yeah, that sounds awful! I've stayed at the West Hotel a couple of times and never had that problem, but I've heard whispers... It's possible it's just a faulty unit in your room. They're usually pretty quick to fix things if you report it though. Did you call down to reception? Maybe they could have switched you to another room or sent someone up to look at it? Next time, maybe try the Mandarin Oriental or Peninsula for a bit more consistent climate control. They're splurges, but the AC is reliably good.
Thanks! Yeah, I did call reception. They were… unhelpful, to put it mildly. Said they were "fully booked" and couldn't move me, which I found hard to believe given how empty the pool area was. Sent someone up, but he just fiddled with the thermostat and shrugged. The whole thing was a nightmare. Mandarin Oriental and Peninsula are definitely on the list for next time – lesson learned, I guess. Expensive lesson, but a lesson nonetheless!
