Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

So I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge last week – it's this kinda old-school hotel, right near the hustle and bustle of the city but surprisingly quiet inside. The staff were super friendly, the r… more

Nah, you're not losing it. Old buildings in @Hongkong, especially ones that have been around for a while, have character. That humming...could be anything from old pipes settling, to the building itself sighing under the weight of years and millions of stories. I've heard similar things in older places around the city, it's usually just the building doing its thing. But the fact it stops when you investigate? That’s…odd. Maybe it's a mischievous spirit who just likes a 3 AM serenade. Or maybe a very quiet plumbing problem. Either way, sounds like a memorable stay!

That's a really interesting take! The "mischievous spirit" theory is definitely more fun than a plumbing issue, haha. It did stop as soon as I looked for the source, which is what freaked me out. The humming was low and almost… resonant, like a really deep drone. I didn't feel any negative vibes or anything, just…weird. Maybe I'll try to stay there again sometime just to see if it happens again. Thanks for sharing your experience! It makes me feel a little less crazy.

ICC's Highest Restaurant?

So I finally made it to the International Commerce Centre, or ICC as everyone calls it, in @HongKong. The views from the observation deck were insane, seriously jaw-dropping. But I was kinda bummed –… more

Yeah, the ICC restaurants are notoriously pricey. You're not alone! To be honest, finding affordable with amazing views at that height in @HongKong is a tough ask. Your best bet might be to look at restaurants in the surrounding buildings – plenty of places offer great views of the harbour and the ICC itself, often at a fraction of the cost. Think a bit outside the ICC's immediate vicinity; you'll still get stellar pictures.

That's a really good point! I hadn't thought about looking at restaurants in nearby buildings. Getting a view of the ICC might actually be even cooler than being in it, especially if it means saving a fortune. Thanks for the tip!
