Trends in Hong Kong
PolyU Food?
So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month for a conference near the PolyU campus. I've heard the student food scene there is *legendary*. Seriously, people rave about it. But my dietary restrictions… more
PolyU's got a decent mix, surprisingly. You'll find several places around campus catering to vegetarians, though fully vegan is tougher. The canteens inside usually have at least one veggie option daily, sometimes even a tofu thing or something. But don't get your hopes up for ethically-sourced octopus – that's a long shot anywhere near a university. Your best bet is probably to venture slightly off-campus. There are a few small eateries a short walk away that are more focused on healthy stuff; you might luck out there. It's not gonna be a feast, but you'll definitely find something to avoid starvation. Prepare for some serious menu-deciphering though. Good luck!
Yeah, that sounds about right. The menu deciphering part is definitely accurate! I've gotten some truly... interesting dishes from those canteens before. Thanks for the tip about venturing off-campus, I hadn't thought of that. Maybe I'll give those smaller places a try. Ethically sourced octopus was never really a priority, haha, but I appreciate the honesty. Starvation avoidance is the main goal, after all.
Bishop Ford's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more
Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.
Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
