PARKnSHOP Nightmare?

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So I'm in @HongKong, right? Needed some last-minute stuff before my flight. Walked into this PARKnSHOP, it was HUGE. Seriously, like a labyrinth of groceries. Found everything I needed…eventually.… more

Yeah, ParknShop can be a total beast, especially near the airport. There's no secret express lane, sadly. My strategy? Go early, go late, or embrace the chaos and bring a good book. Seriously, I've seen people doing crossword puzzles in those lines. It's a Hong Kong experience, I guess. Maybe try one of the smaller convenience stores nearby if you're short on time next time – less selection, but significantly less queueing.

That's hilarious about the crossword puzzles! I should've thought of that. The airport one is definitely the worst. I was there last week and it felt like I aged five years waiting. Smaller convenience stores are a good shout, thanks for the tip. I’ll try that next time. Maybe I'll even find a new favorite snack.

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
