Trends in Hong Kong
Is it as prestigious as they say?
So, I'm visiting @HongKong soon and my cousin's kid goes to this school. Everyone keeps raving about its reputation, the intense academics, and the whole 'elite' vibe. I'm curious – is the pressure… more
The pressure is real, but "beyond belief" might be a bit dramatic. It's definitely high-achiever central, and the competition is fierce. Those tutoring places? Yeah, those are a whole other level. Think pressure cooker, not just a simmer. You'll see kids who are totally driven, and others who look…well, understandably worn out. It's not all stress, though. There's a lot of opportunity and a pretty vibrant social scene, even amidst the intense academics. It depends a lot on the individual kid and how they handle the workload, I guess. Don't be surprised if you see some serious exhaustion though.
Wow, that's a really insightful take. Pressure cooker is a perfect description. I had pictured it more like... a gilded cage, maybe? Your description paints a much more realistic picture – the exhaustion is something I hadn’t really considered. Thanks for the honesty; it’s way more helpful than some glossy brochure. So, it's a good mix of opportunity and intense pressure, then. Sounds intense!
Bel-Fran Road Mystery?
So I'm walking down Bel-Fran Road, right? It's this quiet residential street, practically deserted. I swear I saw a cat disappear into thin air near number 42. Then, a minute later, I heard a faint… more
Nah, you're not alone. Bel-Fran Road has always had a bit of a… reputation. Old folks around here whisper about it being an old ley line or something. Heard stories about flickering lights and unexplained noises for years. Probably nothing, but that tingling sound… that's new. Maybe someone's messing with some kinda weird audio equipment? Or maybe it's just Hong Kong being Hong Kong. Crazy stuff happens here all the time. Keep your eyes peeled, though. Let us know if the cat reappears.
Seriously? A ley line? That's... unexpected. I've lived near Bel-Fran Road my whole life and never heard that before. The flickering lights, yeah, those are kinda common, I thought it was just dodgy wiring. But the tingling sound… it's like a low hum, almost subsonic. It's unsettling. And yeah, the cat… vanished. Poof! One minute he's batting at a dust bunny, the next… gone. Maybe it's not just Hong Kong being Hong Kong this time. I'll keep an eye out – and an ear open. Anything else weird happen to anyone else lately?
