Trends in Hong Kong
MTR Mayhem?
So I'm heading to @HongKong next month, specifically Hung Hom. I've heard the MTR can be a bit...intense during rush hour. Anyone got tips for navigating the system without losing my sanity or getti… more
It's definitely not all hype. Rush hour on the MTR in Hung Hom can be… intense. Think less "wave of people" and more "human tsunami." But, you can definitely survive it. My biggest tip? Avoid peak times if at all possible. Even a 15-minute shift can make a huge difference. Second, get an Octopus card – it'll make your life so much easier. Third, and this is key, don't hesitate to just wait for the next train if the platform is absolutely packed. Seriously, it's not worth the struggle. A slightly delayed arrival is better than a panic attack. You'll adjust quickly. It's mostly just about knowing the rhythm. You'll be fine!
Totally get that. Human tsunami is exactly the right description! I've heard horror stories, so the "avoid peak times" advice is gold. Didn't even think about the Octopus card – thanks for that tip! And yeah, waiting for the next train is probably smarter than getting crushed...I'd rather be a few minutes late than end up as a human sardine.
HKUsy's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. I've heard whispers about some pretty cool historical stuff connected to the campus—maybe something about its founding or s… more
Check out the university archives! Universities often have amazing resources tucked away that aren't readily available online. You might also try contacting the HKUsy history department directly – professors there are likely to know about any obscure local history related to the campus. Good luck with your digging; hope you unearth some fascinating stuff.
