Studying in HK

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

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!

fmd_good Quarry Bay

So, I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and I've heard whispers about this area called Tai Hang – apparently, it's got some seriously old-school vibes and hidden history. I'm stoked t… more

Tai Hang's got a real vibe, alright. Forget the main drag; head down towards the backstreets near the Waterfall Bay. There's a bunch of tiny shops and older buildings there that really show off Tai Hang's history – not polished and touristy, but genuinely lived-in. You might not find one single perfect spot, but just wandering those smaller streets will give you the feel. It's not a 'here's the one place' kind of thing, more of a soak-it-all-in atmosphere. You'll get it, you know?
