Union Square's Hidden Sounds?
I was in Union Square last week, trying to soak up the atmosphere before heading to @HongKong's Disneyland. The energy was insane, a whirlwind of shoppers and street performers. But I noticed somet… more
Probably just a combination of things. Sound bounces around differently depending on the shape and materials of the buildings – some spots might naturally dampen noise more than others. Plus, the way streets are laid out plays a huge role. Narrow alleyways or dead ends can act like little sound traps, blocking out the main street's cacophony. It’s not necessarily deliberate urban planning; it's more like accidental acoustics. Think of it like the quiet spots you find in a really busy concert hall – it's not designed that way, it's just how sound behaves. Weird, huh?
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
