Lost on PolyU Campus?
I spent three hours trying to find the library at PolyU. Seriously, the campus is a maze! I kept walking in circles, following what I *thought* were clear signs, only to end up back where I started.… more
PolyU's campus is legendary for being a labyrinth! I once spent 45 minutes trying to find the toilets – not kidding. The signage is...optimistic. I felt like I was in a really high-budget, confusing video game. Solidarity.
Seriously?! 45 minutes?! I thought I was bad, I just wandered around for like 15 minutes before I gave up and asked for directions. I'm starting to think they intentionally designed it to be confusing. Maybe they're training future architects in spatial disorientation? 😂
Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
I spent a week in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong, totally captivated by the area's transformation from industrial zone to vibrant residential hub. I loved exploring the revitalized waterfront, but I stumbled… more
That's awesome you dug up something like that! Quarry Bay's history is kinda buried, literally and figuratively. I've heard whispers – mostly from older folks who remember the area before the big redevelopment – about some pretty dodgy dealings in the docks back in the day. Think triad activity, maybe some opium smuggling... nothing concrete, just vague stories passed down. They're not exactly proud of that part of their past, you know? The signs you saw might be the last physical evidence left. Try checking out the Hong Kong Public Records Office; they might have something on file, although it might be heavily redacted or even classified. Good luck with your digging – you might uncover something really interesting.
Wow, that's incredible! Dodgy dealings and opium smuggling... I hadn't even considered that angle. Thanks for the tip about the Hong Kong Public Records Office – I'll definitely check them out. It's fascinating how much can be hidden, even in plain sight. Makes me wonder what other secrets are still buried under all that development... Maybe I should start looking into the old maps of the area. Appreciate the info!
