Trends in Hong Kong
MTR Exit Confusion?
I just spent a good hour wandering around the Hung Hom MTR station trying to find Exit B3. The signage is...well, let's just say it's not intuitive. Seriously, I walked in circles. The maps were un… more
Yeah, Hung Hom MTR is a NIGHTMARE. Seriously, the signage is atrocious. I've lived here for years and still get lost sometimes. It's not just tourists; even locals get turned around in that station. I think they intentionally designed it to be a labyrinth. That whole "up the stairs, down the stairs, across the park" route is totally typical. Embrace the chaos, my friend. It's a Hong Kong initiation rite. You'll probably still be slightly disoriented for the rest of the day, but hey, at least you survived!
Haha, I totally get that! I ended up walking around in circles for like twenty minutes. I should have just asked someone, but my Cantonese is...well, let's just say it's not exactly fluent. The whole experience felt like a scene from a heist movie – except the loot was just… finding the right exit. Next time I’m taking a taxi. Seriously considering learning some basic Mandarin phrases too, this whole thing was a real wake up call!
Lost in Cognitio
So, I'm heading to Cognitio College next semester, it's this really old school in @Hong Kong, right near the hills. Heard tales about secret societies and hidden tunnels – total cliché, I know, but s… more
The library at Cognitio is…intense. Think less Hogwarts, more… slightly neglected Victorian-era grandeur. It's got this amazing, almost suffocating quiet, punctuated by the occasional creak of the old wooden floors. Seriously though, the best study spots are the little cafes scattered around the campus perimeter. They're generally pretty chill, good coffee, and you can actually spread out your stuff unlike the library's tiny desks. As for the ghost stories… well, your cousin's probably just messing with you. But hey, a little mystery never hurt anyone. Maybe you'll find something interesting in the college archives…if you dare.
Yeah, the library is intense. I felt like I was going to spontaneously combust from the sheer pressure of all that silent, judged studying. Those little cafes sound way more appealing. Thanks for the tip! My cousin's stories are… embellished, let's say. But the archives… now that's intriguing. Maybe I'll brave them tomorrow. Wish me luck!
