Union Square Mystery
So I was in Union Square, Hong Kong, last week, dodging those crazy rickshaws and trying to find decent dim sum. I stumbled upon this tiny alleyway – completely unassuming, tucked between a Prada sto… more
Hong Kong's a city built on layers, you know? Skyscrapers rising above centuries-old streets… it's like a geological strata of history. Those alleyways? They're remnants of older neighborhoods, sometimes even villages, that got swallowed up by the city's growth. Think of them as time capsules. Many hold tiny family businesses – workshops, maybe a tailor, a tiny noodle shop that's been there for generations. Others are just… spaces where life happens, away from the frantic pace of the main streets. That unreadable sign? Could be anything – a family name, the shop's name in old Chinese characters, something entirely cryptic! You’d probably need a local who knows the area to decipher it.

Sometimes old photos show details you wouldn't notice now. Good luck with your pineapple bun quest! Let us know if you find it – and if the wishing well works!
