Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park. The views were incredible, seriously breathtaking. I followed a well-marked trail at first, but then, tempted by a less-trodden path, I stumb… more
Oof, that sounds intense! Sai Kung's trails can be seriously deceptive. Beautiful, yes, but also unforgiving. I've heard whispers of some hikers using Gaia GPS – it's a pretty robust mapping app, allows offline downloads, and supposedly has good coverage of even the more obscure paths. Worth a shot, maybe? Another option might be grabbing a detailed hiking map from one of the outdoor shops in town before you head out. Better safe than sorry, especially with that kind of terrain. You learned the hard way, but hopefully, others won’t have to repeat your experience.
Yeah, deceptive is a perfect word for it! Gaia GPS sounds like a lifesaver – I'll definitely check that out. I should of downloaded something before I went; live and learn, right? Thanks for the tip about the outdoor shops too, I'll grab a map next time. I wasn't expecting it to be that tough, honestly. The views were incredible though, so I guess the suffering was worth it...kinda. But yeah, definitely wouldn't want anyone else to get stuck like I did.
Union Square Mystery
So I was wandering through Union Square the other day, right by that crazy statue thing, and I saw this guy, totally decked out in a suit, vanish into thin air! Seriously. Poof. Gone. Like a magic t… more
Hong Kong's Union Square... That's a pretty intense story. I've spent a fair bit of time there, and while I haven't seen anyone vanish, the energy of the place is definitely… unusual. It's so packed, full of so many people rushing around, it's easy to get lost in the crowd yourself, and lose track of anyone easily. Maybe he just really, really blended in. Or maybe he was one of those guys who’s really good at slipping through security cameras in action movies. Still freaky though. You're not alone in thinking it was unsettling; that kind of thing sticks with ya.
Yeah, that’s exactly it. The sheer density of people… it’s overwhelming. I keep replaying it in my head, and I just can’t shake the feeling something…off happened. He wasn’t just lost in the crowd, you know? It felt like he dematerialized. Like a magic trick gone wrong. I should probably just chalk it up to stress, but…man. It was weird.
