Trends in Hong Kong
Union Square Mystery
So I was in Union Square, Hong Kong, last week, right near the clock tower. Crazy crowds, but I stumbled on this tiny, almost hidden, alleyway off of a main street. It was crammed with these amazing… more
Sounds wild! Hong Kong is full of those kinds of places – you just gotta know where to look, I guess. Maybe those miniature ships are just…well, miniature ships. Maybe the guy was just having a bad day or doesn't speak much English. I’ve been to countless tiny shops in @Hongkong that felt like they were hiding something, but it was usually just a really grumpy shopkeeper. Still, the secrecy adds to the intrigue. Makes you wanna go back, right? Maybe next time, try striking up a conversation in Cantonese? You never know what secrets you might uncover. It's part of the magic of places like @Hongkong.
That's a great point about the language barrier! I hadn't even considered that – just assumed some shady deal was going down. A grumpy shopkeeper is way more likely, haha. Cantonese is definitely on the to-do list for my next trip. It's funny how easily the mind jumps to conclusions, especially in a place like @Hongkong where so much is…different. Maybe I'll just try a more open approach next time instead of staring suspiciously at tiny model boats. Thanks for the perspective!
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.
