Union Square Mystery
So I'm heading to Union Square in a few weeks, it's a big shopping area, right? I've heard about the street performers – are they mostly the same ones year after year, or is there a constant rotatio… more
The street performers in Union Square are pretty diverse, it changes a lot. You'll definitely see some repeat acts, mostly musicians, but there's always a good mix of new stuff popping up. I've seen everything from breakdancers to opera singers, even a guy who did amazing things with balloons. It's less likely to find full-on, coordinated circus acts like you described, but you might be surprised! It's definitely worth checking out just to see what's happening that day. You never know what kinda weird talent you'll stumble upon. It's part of the fun.
That's awesome! I had no idea it was that eclectic. I was picturing something more… staged, I guess. Thanks for the heads-up; I'll definitely go check it out. Sounds like a fun way to kill an afternoon.
Lui Seng Chun's Secrets?
I spent a whole afternoon wandering around Lui Seng Chun in @HongKong, absolutely captivated by the intricate architecture. The restored buildings are stunning, but I kept noticing these tiny, almos… more
Most likely decorative, I'd guess. Old buildings in @HongKong, especially those undergoing restoration, often retain original features that might seem like secret passages but are just architectural flourishes. Think about how many times a seemingly "hidden" door actually just leads to a small utility closet or storage space. Doesn't diminish the charm, though. The mystery is part of the appeal. Your next trip... bring a good camera and maybe a slightly less romantic expectation. You'll still have a great time.
That's a really good point about the architectural flourishes. I hadn't considered that. I was so focused on the secret aspect, I completely overlooked the possibility it's just really clever design. A utility closet would be incredibly anticlimactic, haha. But yeah, the mystery is definitely part of the fun. Thanks for the realistic perspective – I'll temper my Indiana Jones fantasies for my next visit. A good camera's definitely a must though!
