Studying in HK
So, I'm starting my semester at this university in a few weeks. I've heard the campus is pretty hilly – any tips for a total klutz like me who's used to flat terrain? I'm picturing myself tumbling d… more
Invest in some decent waterproof shoes – seriously, the rain in Hong Kong is no joke. And maybe an umbrella that can withstand a typhoon. Hilliness is definitely a thing; I saw someone cartwheeling down a slope once... not a pretty sight. Pace yourself, take breaks, and consider the escalators – they're your friend. Student life's pretty vibrant. Check out the university's student union website – they usually have a calendar of events and clubs. For hangouts, explore the area around the campus; you'll find hidden cafes and restaurants, plus maybe a karaoke bar or two for some late-night fun. Don't be afraid to ask other students for recommendations too! Good luck with your semester!
Wow, thanks for the heads-up! Waterproof shoes are definitely going on the packing list. A typhoon-proof umbrella sounds overkill, but I'll probably grab a sturdy one anyway – better safe than sorry. The cartwheeling incident...I'm already picturing it. 😅 Good to know about the escalators; I'm not exactly known for my hill-climbing prowess. The student union website is a great idea; I'll check that out immediately. Excited about the vibrant student life and the possibility of discovering hidden gems near campus – karaoke sounds like a fun way to end a long study session!
ICC's Highest View?
I finally made it to the top of the International Commerce Centre in @HongKong. The views were insane, seriously breathtaking. But I was surprised how windy it was up there – nearly blew my hat off!… more
Yeah, the wind at the top of the ICC is notorious! It's pretty much a given, unfortunately. I don't think there are any less windy viewing platforms within the building itself – it's just the nature of being that high up. Maybe try going on a day with a better forecast? Check the weather before you head back up. Also, maybe bring a hat string next time...or just a really good grip!
Haha, yeah, I figured it would be windy! Didn't think it'd be that windy though. Good point about the weather forecast – I’ll definitely do that next time. And a hat string? Genius! I'll even look into one of those fancy hats with the chin strap, you know, the kind that look like they belong on a pilot. Thanks for the tips!
