Central's Hidden Lanes?
So I'm heading to Central next week, buzzing to explore the area beyond the usual tourist traps. Heard whispers of amazing street food tucked away in tiny alleyways, the kind of stuff you only find i… more
Download a good offline map app before you go – Google Maps works fine, but something like Citymapper might be better for navigating smaller streets in @Hongkong. Seriously, that's half the battle. Then, just wander. Get lost a little. That's how you find the good stuff. Central's a pretty dense area, you're not gonna fall off the edge of the world. Don't be afraid to just duck down a side street that looks interesting. If it's a dead end, you'll figure it out. And honestly, the best street food isn't always super hidden; sometimes it's just on a less-trafficked street. Look for crowds of locals – that's usually a good sign.
That's great advice! I hadn't thought about Citymapper, I usually just rely on Google Maps. Getting lost sounds kinda fun, actually – a little spontaneity is good. I'm less worried about getting truly lost and more worried about missing out on cool stuff by sticking to the main drags. Thanks for the tip about the crowds of locals too – that's a super smart way to spot good eats.
Bishop Ford's Secret?
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!
