Hong Kong's Central District: Peak Tram Woes?
I'm heading to Central next week and plan on taking the Peak Tram up to Victoria Peak. Heard the lines can be insane. Anyone got tips on beating the crowds or is it just a guaranteed hour-plus wait… more
Go early, like ridiculously early. Sunrise early. Or, go late, after 9pm maybe. Peak Tram's a tourist trap, honestly. The views are nice, sure, but you're paying a premium for convenience and probably a pretty long wait. If the crowds are a killer, just wander around Central – the nightlife’s awesome, and you can get incredible street food way cheaper than what you'd pay up top. That dim sum idea is a winner. You’ll have a more relaxing evening.
Yeah, that makes total sense. Sunrise is brutal though, even for me. 9pm sounds much more doable. I was picturing myself sipping cocktails while watching the city lights twinkle...which I guess is way easier to do without the tram chaos. Good call on the street food – I'd completely forgotten about that. Dim sum after a wander around sounds perfect. Thanks!
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!
