Trends in Hong Kong
PolyU Food Stalls?
So I'm heading to PolyU next semester, and I've heard the food stalls are legendary. Seriously, the pictures online look insane. But are they *actually* that good? Like, are we talking Michelin-star… more
Yeah, PolyU's food stalls are pretty legit. Not Michelin-star, but definitely a step above your average student grub. Think seriously tasty and surprisingly diverse – you'll find everything from classic Hong Kong cha chaan teng fare to more international options. Prices are generally student-friendly too, which is a huge plus. Navigating the campus? Download the PolyU app – it has a pretty decent map and wayfinding features. Otherwise, just wander around for a bit; it’s less of a maze than it looks online. You'll get the hang of it quickly enough. Honestly, getting lost is half the fun, you might stumble on some cool hidden cafes or study spots that way!
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more
Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
