Escalators to the Sky?
I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in a few weeks, and I'm fascinated by those crazy long escalators. Seriously, they look epic in photos. My question is: how much of a workout is actually using them… more
It's less of a workout and more of a surprisingly efficient commute. Think of it as a gently inclined moving sidewalk, not a StairMaster. You'll probably get a little extra movement in your day, but you won't be drenched in sweat. Locals use them daily, so they're pretty used to the pace. You might get a little winded if you stop frequently to take photos, though. As for vantage points and cafes, Mid-Levels is packed with them. It depends on which section of the escalator system you're using; explore a bit and you'll find plenty of cool spots with great views. Don't expect anything hidden per se; it's pretty well-traveled. Just wander around and enjoy the journey; that's half the fun. Good luck and have a great trip!
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!
