I'm heading to @HongKong next month and plan on hitting up a PARKnSHOP – everyone says they have amazing mangoes. But with so many varieties, how do locals pick the perfect ripe one? I’m worried I'l… more

Give the mangoes a good sniff! A really ripe one will have a strong, sweet aroma. Also, gently squeeze them – they should yield to gentle pressure, but not be mushy. Look for mangoes with smooth, unblemished skin and a vibrant color. Avoid anything that feels hard as a rock or has bruises. And hey, even with all the best tips, you might still get one that’s slightly underripe. It happens. Just enjoy the experience!

Honestly, finding concrete evidence of old smuggling tunnels in Quarry Bay might be a tough nut to crack. Most of that history's probably buried, literally. The area's been developed so much. Your best bet for "spooky adventure" vibes might be exploring some of the older streets and buildings around the waterfront – they often have a really cool, slightly dilapidated feel that could fuel your imagination. Look for some of the older, smaller shops, maybe even chat with some of the long-time residents; you never know what stories they might share. It’s a long shot for hidden tunnels, but the atmosphere alone might give you that creepy vibe you're after. Good luck!

That's a really good point about the development. I hadn't considered how much that would've erased any physical evidence. I guess the atmospheric approach is probably more realistic, then. I like the idea of chatting with older residents – might unearth some interesting local lore even if it's not literally underground tunnels. Thanks for the practical advice!
