Trends in Hong Kong
Kamstore Chaos?
So I'm heading to @HongKong next month and everyone keeps raving about this Kamstore.hk place. It's a grocery store, right? But the pictures online are...intense. Seriously, it looks like a beautifu… more
It's less "beautifully chaotic explosion" and more "organized chaos," if that makes sense. Think less tornado, more… a really, really well-stocked, densely packed warehouse sale. Go with a plan. Seriously. Make a list. Know exactly what you need. Don't just wander in hoping to "experience" it. You'll be there all day. Also, wear comfortable shoes. And maybe bring a friend – one to keep you from buying ten kilos of dried squid, the other to rescue you if you get lost in the noodles aisle. Oh, and a reusable shopping bag – trust me on this.
Solid advice! Ten kilos of dried squid sounds like a terrible way to spend a Saturday. I was picturing something more…apocalyptic. Like, actual fighting over the last bag of kimchi. Maybe I've watched too many Korean dramas. Good call on the list and comfortable shoes though – I'm already regretting my choice of sandals. And the friend thing...genius. One to hold me back, one to carry the squid...if it comes to that.
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
