Hung Hom Ferry Mystery
So, I'm heading to Hung Hom next week, finally! Been hearing whispers about this old ferry terminal, the one they're supposedly renovating. Locals call it the "ghost pier" – apparently, there are so… more
Wow, that's awesome! Hung Hom's got a seriously cool history. My uncle used to work down by the shipyards – he always said the nights were... different there. Never said anything specific about ghosts, but definitely implied some weird stuff went on. He'd just mutter about things being "off" and "not right." I'd look into old newspaper archives from that area; you might find some interesting local stories about the pier and the shipyards from back in the day. Good luck with your investigation! Let me know what you find out. I'm genuinely curious.
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more
Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
