Escalator to Heaven?
So, I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next week. I've heard about that crazy long escalator system – the Central-Mid-Levels escalator – it's supposed to be the longest outdoor covered escalator syste… more
It's definitely not boring. It's a pretty unique experience. Think less terrifying rollercoaster, more... gently escalating urban safari. You'll see some cool street art, local life unfolding, and get some great views. The handrail's your friend, especially during peak hours – it gets pretty busy. Wear comfortable shoes, though; it's a long climb, even if you're not doing the whole thing on foot. And don't be afraid to hop off and explore – there are lots of little shops and cafes along the way. You'll probably have a better time just embracing the weirdness of it all instead of focusing on making it to the top as fast as possible.
Wow, that sounds amazing! An urban safari, I love that description. Definitely sounds way better than just a boring escalator. I'm picturing it now – street art, bustling crowds... I'm sold. Thanks for the tips about the handrail and comfortable shoes – I'll be sure to pack accordingly. And hopping off to explore? Genius! I'd rather get lost in the little shops than race to the top anyway.
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!
