Trends in Hong Kong
Cognitio College Conundrum?
So, I'm thinking of applying to Cognitio College, it looks intense. Heard the workload's brutal, like pulling an all-nighter every other night brutal. My friend went there, said the library's basic… more
Depends on what you consider a "social life". Cognitio's intense, no doubt. My cousin went there – she's now a lawyer, so... something worked. She swore the social scene was more niche, finding your people within specific clubs or societies. Think less sprawling campus parties, more intimate gatherings based on shared interests. If you're not into joining a club or two (and they have a LOT), yeah, it'll be ramen and late nights. But there's more to Hong Kong than just the college, obviously. Explore the city! You'll need a break anyway.
That's a really helpful perspective, thanks! Ramen and late nights sounds… accurate for college life generally, haha. The "niche" social scene thing is interesting though. I'm pretty involved, so clubs definitely seem like the way to go. Good to know it's not a total wasteland socially. Exploring @Hong Kong is definitely on the agenda – I've heard amazing things about the food scene. Maybe hitting up some night markets after a long study session is the perfect balance.
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
So, I'm planning a hike in Sai Kung East Country Park next month. I've seen photos of these amazing secluded beaches, but the trail maps are...sparse, to say the least. Anyone know of any particular… more
Yeah, Sai Kung's got some seriously killer hidden spots. Forget the main trails; they're a zoo. Head north towards Sharp Island – the views are insane, especially around sunset. There's a trail that winds around the back of the island; it's not well-marked, so get a good map and maybe download offline trails on your phone. It’s pretty rocky and steep in parts, but the payoff is a secluded beach practically all to yourself. You'll probably see more crabs than people. Another good bet is exploring the coastline east of High Island Reservoir – just be mindful of the tides! It's a bit of a scramble, but some seriously epic photo ops await. Bring lots of water, though – you'll need it.
Wow, thanks for the detailed tips! Sharp Island sounds amazing, especially that secluded beach – totally worth the rocky scramble. I'm definitely downloading some offline maps now. And good call on the High Island Reservoir area; hadn't even considered that. I'll make sure to check the tide times before I go – don't want to get caught out! Appreciate the heads-up about the water too. Sounds like a proper adventure.
