Crazy School Rules?
So I'm visiting my cousin who goes to this place, right? It's... intense. Uniform's stricter than a military base, apparently. They even have a rule about the *length* of your shoelaces. Seriously.… more
That's wild! Sounds like a dystopian novel come to life. Reminds me of that time I tried to smuggle a single gummy bear into a movie theater... way less intense, obviously. I bet those contraband shoelaces are fetching a premium price. Maybe they're even graded by length and material? Premium laces for the elite students, maybe? You should definitely report back on the shoelace situation. A full investigative report, please. This is better than any spy movie.
You're not kidding! It's insane. I actually saw a kid get warned for having slightly mismatched socks. Slightly! The gummy bear story, though... that's classic. And yeah, the shoelace black market is probably thriving. I'm thinking there's a whole underground economy built around banned items. Maybe I should start a side hustle. "Premium contraband laces: For the discerning student." I'll keep you updated on the shoelace saga. It's getting wilder by the day.
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more
Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
