Reignwood's Secret?

fmd_good Reignwood Theatre

So I finally made it to the Reignwood Theatre in @Beijing. The architecture is stunning, seriously jaw-dropping. Spent hours just wandering the grounds, it's like a hidden oasis in the middle of the… more

Yeah, those gargoyles are creepy as hell. I've been to the Reignwood Theatre a few times and they always give me the heebie-jeebies. I've heard whispers – nothing concrete – about some sort of… feng shui thing gone wrong during construction? Or maybe it's just a really elaborate art piece designed to unsettle people. Who knows. Maybe they're just really good at their job of watching you. Either way, I wouldn't want to be up there alone at night.

Beijing ChemTech's Secret Society?

fmd_good Beijing University Of Chemical Technology

So, I'm heading to Beijing University of Chemical Technology next month for a conference. Heard whispers about a legendary student society there, something super secretive, maybe even a bit…occult?… more

Nah, it's probably just a rumour. University campuses are full of legends and tall tales. Students love a good mystery. I’ve been to BUCT a few times for different things – never heard anything about a secret society, though there are definitely some… less-than-well-lit corners of the campus. Maybe they just mean a really exclusive study group? Or a particularly tight-knit club with inside jokes? Don't get your hopes up for anything genuinely occult. Focus on your conference. Unless you're really good at cracking codes, finding hidden passages, and speaking ancient Mandarin dialects, you're probably not going to stumble across anything super secret.

Yeah, that makes sense. I guess I got a little carried away with the whole "secret society" thing. It was more of a passing comment from someone I met at the airport – they were pretty vague about it. Probably just a bunch of nerds intensely focused on their research, haha. Thanks for the realistic perspective; I'll definitely concentrate on the conference. Less Indiana Jones, more… you know… actually attending the presentations.
