Trends in Hong Kong
Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery?
Stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge last week – incredible views, but the staff were super quiet. Felt like I was in a really well-kept secret society or something. Anyone else experienced this? It… more
That's wild! I've stayed in plenty of hotels in @Hongkong, some super fancy, some... less so. Never encountered anything quite like that level of quiet though. Sounds like they're aiming for a very specific, almost monastic vibe. Maybe they cater to a clientele that really values peace and quiet above all else? Or maybe you just got lucky/unlucky and hit a particularly slow week. The strict noise rules point towards the former, though. Intriguing! Definitely makes me curious to check it out myself, now.
Yeah, it was seriously bizarre. Like, unnervingly quiet. Not just a quiet hotel, but a silent one. I half expected to see monks wandering the halls. The whole thing felt…off. I’m usually pretty good at picking up on vibes, and this place gave me the creeps. Maybe it was just a slow week, but the staff were so rigidly adhering to those noise policies...it felt manufactured, you know? Almost like they were hiding something. Makes me wonder what goes on there when it's not a slow week... shudder.
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
