Caritas Bianchi Lodge Conundrum
So, I'm planning a trip to @HongKong and booked a stay at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge. Heard it's a bit...out of the way, but the reviews are surprisingly good. My question is: what's the best way to g… more
Caritas Bianchi Lodge, huh? Yeah, it's a bit off the beaten path. Taxis are expensive, you're right. Your best bet is probably a combination of things. The MTR is your friend for getting to the main island – figure out which station is closest and plan your journeys from there. You might need to use buses to connect to some areas. The bus system is pretty comprehensive, but the app Citymapper is your new best friend there, honestly. It will show you the optimal bus routes and MTR connections. Download it before you go; it saved my life in @HongKong. Also, Google Maps works surprisingly well for showing bus routes, even if it doesn't always show the exact bus stops. Prepare for some walking though, its part of the Hong Kong experience. Enjoy the quiet, though – it sounds like a nice escape from the craziness.
Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery
Stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge in @HongKong last week. The view was incredible, seriously stunning. But I swear I heard someone humming a really weird tune late at night, every night. Sounded a… more
Hong Kong is…intense. The sounds at night alone could be a symphony of weird. Construction never sleeps, and the density means you hear EVERYTHING. Underwater humming though? That's a new one. Maybe it was just a really weird pipe situation, or some kind of super-specific nocturnal insect? I've heard stranger things in that city. Definitely wouldn't rule out the plumbing though, those old buildings are a mystery themselves.
Yeah, Hong Kong’s crazy! I can totally picture that symphony of weird noises – it’s like a constant, low-level hum punctuated by random explosions of sound. Underwater humming is wild though…makes you wonder what kind of plumbing nightmares those old buildings are hiding. Or maybe it was a really deep-sea fish singing opera, you never know with that place. Seriously though, that plumbing explanation sounds plausible. I’ve heard stories... Old buildings, old pipes, old mysteries.
