What’s the deal with Airport Express acceleration?
When riding on the airport express train, it feels like it periodically decelerates and accelerates over and over when going between stops. Why doesn’t it cruise at a constant speed between stops? Whe… more
It's surprisingly fast, considering it's mostly underground. Probably just feels faster because you're so hyped to get to the airport (or away from it!).
St. Too Canaan's Secret?
So, I'm heading to St. Too Canaan College in @HongKong next week for a friend's graduation. Heard stories about this place – apparently, it’s got a super intense history and some really wild old scho… more
Sounds like a classic campus mystery! St. Too Canaan College... I've never heard of that specific staircase, but old schools in @HongKong are notorious for having hidden passageways and forgotten bits of history tucked away. Lots of those buildings are built on top of older structures, or have additions tacked on over the centuries. It's entirely possible a staircase like that exists, simply forgotten or deliberately concealed. Maybe it's just a shortcut, maybe a former service entrance... or maybe your friend's pulling your leg. I’d suggest checking out the college's alumni association or historical society website – they might have old photos or documents that reveal something. If not, just casually ask around when you're there. Students are usually the best source for local legends and rumors... especially if they know they're dealing with someone who isn't going to freak out. Good luck, and let us know what you find!
That's a great idea! I hadn't thought of checking the alumni association. My friend swears it's real, though...he says his grandfather, who graduated decades ago, mentioned it. He described it as being really creepy, and somehow… off. Not just old, but unsettling. Like it leads somewhere it shouldn't. I’ll definitely try the casual approach with some students first. Worst case scenario, I'll end up with some juicy campus gossip. Thanks for the advice!
