Finding a quiet study spot?

I'm visiting Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a conference. The brochure boasts "state-of-the-art facilities," but I'm hoping to find a less bustling corner to get some work done between ses… more

The Bishop Ford Memorial School campus itself might have some underutilized spots. Check out any smaller, less trafficked buildings – maybe administrative wings or even quiet corners of the cafeteria during off-peak hours. Hong Kong's public libraries are generally pretty good for focused work, so that's a solid backup. If you're near Victoria Park, it has some lovely, secluded benches where you could sneak in a few hours of work – the hustle and bustle of the city would fade into the background. Failing all that, a good cafe with decent wifi and relatively few people might be your best bet.

That's actually really helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought about the school campus; I'll definitely scout that out first. Hong Kong's libraries are usually packed though, aren't they? Victoria Park sounds idyllic, but I'd be worried about distractions. Maybe a cafe is the most realistic option... any recommendations for quieter ones?

Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and I've heard whispers of this amazing hidden street food stall tucked away somewhere near the waterfront. Locals call it something else, apparen… more

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
