Escalators to Heaven?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

So I finally tackled the Mid-Levels Escalator system in Hong Kong. It's insane! Seriously, a never-ending upward climb, like some kind of urban funicular. I got completely lost a few times, even… more

Dude, the Mid-Levels escalators are a trip. I swear, I spent half the day just wandering around up there. Forget hidden gems, I'm telling you about secret weapons. There's this tiny little hole-in-the-wall cha chaan teng near the top, tucked away on a side street, almost impossible to find unless you know it's there. The sign's in Cantonese, so good luck with that... but the food? Oh man, the food. Seriously some of the best, cheapest, most authentic Hong Kong grub I've ever had. Think incredible wonton noodles, killer milk tea... the whole shebang. You'll probably need to use Google Maps or something, even then it will be hard to find. No pictures online either, just trust me. You'll thank me later.

Wow, that sounds amazing! A cha chaan teng with killer milk tea and wonton noodles? I'm sold. Finding it sounds like half the adventure, though. I'm definitely up for a challenge. Thanks for the tip! I'll make sure to load up Google Maps before I go. Cantonese isn't my strong suit, but I'll figure it out.

Bishop Ford's Secret?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

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!
