Finding Peace at West Hotel?
So, I'm planning a solo trip to Hong Kong next month and booked the West Hotel because of the reviews. Everyone raves about the view, but I'm a terrible sleeper. My question is: how soundproof are th… more
Depends on which room you booked, really. West Hotel is pretty big. Some rooms are definitely quieter than others. If you're a light sleeper, emailing the hotel directly before you arrive and specifying your need for a quiet room might be your best bet. They might be able to give you a room away from the street or elevators. Worth a shot! Also, earplugs are your friend... seriously. I've slept through a typhoon with those things. And yeah, that rooftop bar... amazing. Enjoy Hong Kong!
Good point about the room! I hadn't thought of that. I'm a pretty light sleeper, so emailing them is a great idea. Thanks for the earplug tip too – typhoon-proof sleep sounds pretty appealing right now. And yes, the rooftop bar is one of the reasons I booked it, I'm so excited! Thanks again for the advice.
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!
