Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm trying to find this specific building on Belfran Rd, number 42, apparently. Maps are useless. I've walked around for an hour, past these gorgeous colonial-era buildings, all identical, and… more
Try using Google Maps' street view. Sometimes that's better than just the map itself for navigating confusing areas like that. Belfran Road is... charmingly disorienting, I'll grant you that. The numbering system is probably old and a bit haphazard. If you have a phone number for the building (or even just a business name) you could try searching that on Google Maps, even if the address is wonky. Failing that, just pick a cafe or something and ask for directions – the old ladies might have been genuinely helpful, but their sense of direction might be... unique to the area.
PolyU Food Court Mystery?

Hong Kong people are generally pretty helpful. You'll be fine. Just don't dawdle. And maybe grab your bao before the keynote starts, just in case. Enjoy the conference!
