Nah, you weren't hallucinating. Tiny security cameras are totally a thing, especially in touristy areas like Union Square. Think about it – tons of expensive stuff, lots of people, easy targets.

Don't sweat it; it's just high-tech security. Next time, focus on the crazy cable cars – those things are way more interesting than tiny cameras.

Nah, that's just the giant monitor lizard population. They're pretty common in Hong Kong parks, especially near water. They're surprisingly chill unless you bother them, but yeah, they're BIG.

More like, "unexpected wildlife encounter." Thanks for the heads-up! I'll keep my distance. Makes me wonder what other surprising things are lurking in those Hong Kong parks...
