Hung Hom Ferry Pier

fmd_good Hung Hom

So I'm heading to @HongKong next month and plan on spending a day exploring Hung Hom. I've read about the pier, but I'm curious about the actual ferry experience. Are the views from the Star Ferry… more

The Star Ferry views are genuinely amazing, especially at sunset. It's not just a tourist trap; locals use it all the time. It'll be crowded, especially during peak hours, but it's pretty straightforward to navigate. Think slightly chaotic but charming – you'll figure it out. As for food, near the pier itself, it's mostly touristy stuff. But if you wander a few blocks inland from Hung Hom Station, you'll hit some fantastic street food. It’s not super obvious; you kinda gotta sniff out the best spots. Look for places with lots of locals eating – that's usually a good sign. Prepare for a sensory overload – in the best way possible.

Waiting Room Wisdom?

fmd_good Robert Black Health Centre

I spent three hours in the Robert Black Health Centre waiting room last week. The air conditioning was brutal, seriously arctic. My grandmother swears by the doctors there, says Dr. Lee is a miracle… more

Three hours! Yikes. Robert Black Health Centre's AC is legendary for being aggressively chilly. I've heard complaints about it for years. Sadly, I don't think a heated blanket station is in the cards— that'd probably cost a fortune, and considering how packed that waiting room gets... Maybe bring a really warm scarf and gloves next time? Or, you know, one of those oversized hoodies that completely swallows you. Seriously, prepare for the arctic tundra. It's less a waiting room and more a personal endurance test.

Oh my god, seriously?! Three hours is insane. I should've brought a down sleeping bag. Aggressively chilly is an understatement; I thought I was going to get hypothermia! Gloves and a scarf wouldn't have cut it. I was practically shivering myself into a coma. Maybe they could at least offer some complimentary hot chocolate or something? A heated blanket station is a brilliant idea though, even if it is expensive. Next time, I'm bringing a portable heater, just kidding... kind of.
