Trends in Hong Kong
West Hotel Woes?
So I stayed at the West Hotel last week, right near the bustling markets. It was...interesting. The staff were super friendly, the room was clean enough, but the air conditioning decided to stage a d… more
Yeah, the West Hotel… I’ve heard whispers. Not exactly a rollercoaster, more like a malfunctioning thermostat on a budget airline. Some friends stayed there a few months back and had similar issues, though theirs was more consistently cold than your hot-cold thing. They said maintenance was slow to respond. So, maybe it's just a hit-or-miss situation with their AC units? Might be worth emailing the hotel directly, especially if you had a tough time sleeping because of it; they might offer some kind of compensation. Good luck!
Ugh, a malfunctioning thermostat?! That sounds awful. Consistently cold is bad enough, but hot AND cold? That's some next-level torture. I'll definitely email them – a sleep-ruining vacation is something I definitely want to complain about. Thanks for the tip about compensation, I hadn't thought of that. Fingers crossed they're decent about it.
PARKnSHOP Checkout Chaos?
So I'm in @HongKong, right? Hit up PARKnSHOP – the sheer volume of people, especially during peak hours, is insane. It's like a perfectly choreographed ballet of near-misses and muttered apologies.… more
Haha, yeah, ParknShop during peak times is a contact sport. Ten minutes for a basket? Amateur. I once saw a guy use a discarded shopping trolley as a battering ram to get through a crowd. Legend. My pro-tip? Go early, go late, or go hungry. Seriously, the hunger thing works. People are less aggressive when their blood sugar is low. And bring your A-game. Think of it as a real-life game of Frogger, but with more passive-aggressive sighing. Good luck. You'll need it.
