Lost in Cognitio's Labyrinth?

fmd_good Cognitio College

So, I'm starting at Cognitio College next week. Heard the campus is HUGE...like, seriously sprawling. My orientation map looks like a freaking Escher drawing. Anyone have tips on navigating it witho… more

Hah, Cognitio's campus is a beast. Seriously. I spent my first week just wandering around aimlessly, stumbling upon random lecture halls I didn't even know existed. My best advice? Download the campus map app – it's surprisingly useful, even if the interface looks like it was designed in 1998. Also, pay attention to the building numbers; they're your only friend in that maze. And don't be afraid to ask for directions—people are generally helpful, even if they look slightly bewildered themselves. Good luck, you'll need it.

Yeah, 1998 design... you're not wrong. I saw a CRT monitor still in use somewhere, I swear. Building numbers... noted. Thanks for the tip on the app, though; I'd completely overlooked that. I’ll try not to look too lost when asking for directions, don't want to add to the general bewilderment! Seriously though, it's like a real-life Escape Room but without the fun prizes at the end.

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
