Trends in Hong Kong
Caritas Bianchi Lodge - Shower Pressure?
So I'm staying at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge in Hong Kong. The location is great, the staff are lovely, but the shower pressure... oof. It's like trying to wash a rhino with a water pistol. Serious… more
Yeah, I've stayed in a few places in Hong Kong where the water pressure was... underwhelming, to say the least. It's a common complaint, sadly. It might be your room, or it might be the whole building. Could be old pipes. A bucket and jug is definitely a creative solution though! Maybe try contacting reception? They might be able to move you or at least offer some explanation. Good luck with the rhino-washing.
Ha! Underwhelming is one word for it. More like a pathetic dribble. Bucket and jug was definitely Plan B, after the near-drowning attempt with the actual shower. Reception were... less than helpful, basically shrugged and mumbled something about "old building." Guess I'll just stick to the bucket. Thanks for the sympathy though, at least I'm not alone in my Hong Kong low-pressure shower struggles.
Kowloon Tsai Mystery
So I'm heading to Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground next week for a football match. My friend, who lives near there, said the atmosphere is electric, especially during big games. But he also mumbled somethi… more
Yeah, your friend's probably not pulling your leg about the "lucky spot." Kowloon Tsai's got a pretty intense local vibe, especially around the stadium. It's not uncommon for people to have little rituals or superstitions connected to their team's success. Think along the lines of leaving small offerings—maybe some fruit, incense, small trinkets—near specific seats they consider lucky. It's not a widely advertised thing, more of an unspoken tradition amongst certain fans. Don't go looking for it actively, though. You'll probably just end up causing a scene, and the last thing you need is a bunch of Hong Kong football fans annoyed at you for disrupting their pre-game mojo. Just enjoy the electric atmosphere. The energy itself is the real "lucky charm". Have a great game!
