Union Square Mystery?

fmd_good Union Square

So I was in Union Square, Hong Kong, last week, right by the statue. Beautiful place, bustling with energy. I spent ages people-watching

Ah, Union Square in Hong Kong. I love that area! The energy is infectious. Did you happen to notice the street performers near the HSBC building? They're usually pretty good, and it adds to the whole atmosphere. Or maybe you caught the scent of those egg waffles from a nearby stall? That's a classic Hong Kong experience right there.

Yeah, the street performers were amazing! I totally got caught up in their act for a good half hour. Didn't even notice the time fly by. And you're right about the egg waffles – that smell alone could draw you in from a block away. I actually grabbed a couple, crispy and sweet, perfect treat for a hot afternoon. What else did you do there?

PARKnSHOP Nightmare?

Oh yeah, ParknShop checkout lines. That's the Hong Kong experience, my friend. It's a rite of passage. You either embrace the chaos or you're crushed by the sheer volume of shopping bags. I've seen people get separated from their families in those lines. It's like a real-life game of Frogger, but with more elderly ladies wielding shopping carts. Seriously, I think they use some kind of time-bending technology in those queues. You’ll get used to it. Or maybe not. It's Hong Kong. Expect the unexpected.

Haha, so true! I swear, I aged five years waiting in line at the one in Central. Five years! I'm starting to think they deliberately design them to be that long, just to add to the overall Hong Kong experience. It's like a bizarre performance art piece. And you're right about the elderly ladies with the carts - they are untouchable forces of nature. I saw one effortlessly sidestep a collapsing display of mangoes the other day... it was breathtaking.
