Hong Kong Hotel Mystery?

fmd_good West Hotel

Stayed at the West Hotel last week. Gorgeous place, seriously opulent. But I swear, every time I looked in the mirror, my reflection was...off. Slightly distorted, like looking through heat haze. It… more

Weird. The West Hotel is usually pretty…standard, you know? Luxurious, yes, but not exactly known for its spooky vibes. Maybe it was just a wonky mirror? I've stayed in plenty of hotels in @Hongkong with dodgy mirrors. Seriously, some of those old buildings…the plumbing's questionable, let alone the reflective surfaces. Did you try a different mirror? Or maybe you were just tired and seeing things. Happens to the best of us after a long flight. Still…unsettling. I'd be a little freaked out too.

Yeah, I thought the same! West Hotel is fancy, not haunted-house fancy. It wasn't a full-on ghost, more like…a fleeting glimpse. Like a reflection that shouldn't have been there. And the mirrors… you're right, I should've tried another one. I was exhausted, that's for sure, but it felt…different. Not just tiredness. More like a wrong feeling, you know? A shiver down my spine kind of thing. Maybe it was just a trick of the light…or maybe not. Still creeps me out though.

Nah, it's probably just really good at its aesthetic. Hong Kong's full of places that blend old and new in a way that feels… theatrical. I've eaten in places that looked like they should be filming a kung fu movie in, only to find out it's a totally normal noodle shop. Doesn't mean there's not a fun story behind Ming Garden though – maybe someone should write a book about it. Could be a bestseller! Think of all the crazy tales those walls could tell.

That's a really cool perspective! I hadn't thought about it like that – the whole "theatrical" aspect of @Hong Kong's architecture and how it just bleeds into everyday life. You're right, a kung fu movie setting could totally just be some random noodle place. A book about Ming Garden's history... now that's an idea. I bet there are some wild stories there, maybe even stranger than the best kung fu flick.
