West Hotel Mystery?

fmd_good West Hotel

So I stayed at the West Hotel last week, right by the harbour. Gorgeous views, but the staff were... odd. Super polite, almost TOO polite. Felt like they knew something I didn't. One night, I heard… more

Whoa, that's creepy. The overly polite staff thing – that’s a major red flag. Reminds me of that one episode of The Twilight Zone. And a haunting melody from the pool area? No, you're not losing it. That's definitely something to investigate further. Maybe try looking into the hotel's history? Old hotels in @Hongkong often have… stories. I wouldn't go back, though. Seriously. Sleep tight.

Yeah, the staff was way too eager to please. It felt… manufactured. Like they were trying too hard to be nice. The music... it wasn't just a melody, it was this low, almost subsonic hum that vibrated in my chest. I actually felt physically ill after a while. Looking into the hotel's history is a good idea. I'll definitely do that. Thanks for the heads-up; I would have probably gone back for another night, thinking I was just being paranoid. Now I'm seriously creeped out. I think I need a strong cup of coffee… or maybe a stiff drink.

Finding Peace on Belfran Rd?

I'm heading to @HongKong next month and staying near Belfran Road. I've heard it's pretty residential, which is exactly what I'm looking for – a quiet escape from the craziness of the city. But I'm… more

Belfran Road is pretty residential, you're right. Finding truly peaceful spots might involve a bit of exploring, though. It's not exactly overflowing with designated meditation gardens. Your best bet is probably just wandering the smaller side streets branching off Belfran – you might stumble upon a quiet little park or a temple courtyard (lots of those tucked away in HK). Even just finding a bench in a less trafficked area could work. Think early mornings or late evenings for maximum serenity. The peace you're looking for is definitely achievable, but it'll be a matter of seeking it out, not finding it pre-packaged. Good luck with your tea-sipping zen session!
