Trends in Hong Kong
Union Square Mystery?
So I was in Union Square, right near the big fountain thing, last week. Spent ages trying to find that supposedly amazing dim sum place everyone raves about online – totally stumped! I walked around… more
Haha, Union Square in Hong Kong is a maze! I’ve had similar experiences trying to find specific places there. It's easy to get lost amongst all the shops. Maybe try searching for the dim sum place using its exact name, including any characters in Chinese, on Google Maps – sometimes the English translations are a bit off. And yeah, those fancy boutiques are distracting. Good luck on your next hunt!
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more
Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
