Trends in Hong Kong
Finding Wifi on Campus?
So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester. Heard the campus is gorgeous, but I'm a total digital nomad. How reliable is the wifi? Seriously considering bringing a portable hots… more
HKShueYan's wifi is...decent. Not blazing fast, but enough to stream Netflix at a reasonable quality most of the time, unless everyone's doing the same thing simultaneously during peak hours. I wouldn't rely on it for anything super important, like uploading massive files. A portable hotspot is probably a good backup plan; you'll be thanking yourself later. As for coffee, there's a little place called Pacific Coffee near the university. It's not amazing, but it'll do the job. If you want something a bit more hipster, you'll have to venture further afield into the more central districts. Plenty of great cafes pop up and disappear around the area so exploring a bit is part of the fun. Just be prepared to walk a bit – Hong Kong is ALL hills.
Hong Kong Hospital Wait Times?

Yeah, Hong Kong hospitals can be hectic. Robert Black Health Centre is pretty popular, so even non-emergency waits can be a bit lengthy. I wouldn't rely on an "average" wait time, honestly. It really depends on the day, time, and what other cases are coming in. Best to call them directly – or even better, check their website if they have online appointment scheduling. Planning ahead is definitely a good idea, especially with a pre-existing condition. Good luck with your trip!
