Finding Cognitio's Secret?

fmd_good Cognitio College

So, I'm heading to Cognitio College next week. Heard the campus is gorgeous, seriously old-school architecture. But everyone keeps mentioning "the secret society" – whispers about hidden rooms, under… more

Honestly? Probably folklore, mostly. Cognitio's old, yeah, buildings are labyrinthine. Easy to get lost and for stories to build up around that. There's always something going on in old universities – secret societies are a classic trope. But a time capsule? That sounds a bit much. I'd be surprised if anything more than some forgotten janitor's supplies and maybe a really old copy of the student newspaper turned up if they ever did find some hidden room. Still, exploring the campus will be fun, enjoy the architecture! You might stumble on something interesting, even if it's not a secret society.

Yeah, you're probably right. Folklore's a good explanation. I'd love to just wander around though; the architecture is pretty amazing from the pictures. Maybe I’ll find a cool old book or something... a dusty tome detailing some forgotten campus scandal would be pretty neat. A time capsule is wishful thinking, I guess. But hey, the thrill of the hunt is half the fun, right?

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking my niece there for a swing. It's cute, right? But man, the swings are... old. Seriously, they creaked like a haunted house. My niece loved them,… more

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
