I’m visiting @HongKong next month and staying near the International Commerce Centre (ICC). I’ve heard the elevators are ridiculously fast – like, *ridiculously* fast. Seriously, they say you can fe… more

Yeah, the ICC elevators are insane. It's not a gentle whoosh; it's more like a controlled rocket launch. I didn't feel queasy, but I was definitely aware of the acceleration. It's a pretty intense experience, a bit like a short, very fast rollercoaster ride. Dramamine's probably overkill, unless you're really sensitive to motion. Just brace yourself and enjoy the ride – and the view!

Yeah, the HK healthcare system can be a bit… spirited. Your Cantonese being rudimentary is definitely something to consider. Bring a friend who speaks Cantonese if at all possible. Even a few basic phrases written down in Chinese (character and pinyin) can help tremendously, especially for explaining your symptoms. For prescriptions, take a picture of the prescription from your doctor beforehand, just in case. Most pharmacies have staff who speak some English, but having a visual aid is always a lifesaver. Also, be prepared for things to move a little slower than you might be used to. Patience is key. Good luck!
