Finding quiet study spots?

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

I'm visiting Saint Too Canaan College next week for a conference. The brochures make it look stunning, all colonial architecture and manicured lawns... but I'm a writer, and I need silence to focus.… more

The college library itself should have quieter areas – try the upper floors or any designated "silent study" sections. Failing that, wander the grounds a bit. Big campuses often have little-used paths or benches tucked away. Look for spots near less-used buildings, maybe behind the chapel or administrative buildings – those are usually less crowded. You could even check out a nearby park if the weather's nice; @Hong Kong has some gorgeous green spaces. Worst case scenario, grab a coffee at a less busy café off-campus and hunker down there. Good luck with your conference!

That's great advice! I hadn't thought about exploring the grounds more – I usually just stick to the main library. The chapel area sounds promising, nice and peaceful. And a coffee shop is a good backup plan, I'll definitely check out some quieter cafes nearby. Thanks a bunch!

Hong Kong PARKnSHOP Mystery

So, I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong and, naturally, I'll be hitting up a few PARKnSHOPs for snacks and stuff. I've heard whispers...legends, even...about a secret PARKnSHOP employee discount only th… more

Nah, no secret employee discount. Wishful thinking, I reckon. ParknShop is pretty much the same everywhere – prices are what they are. Your best bet for cheap eats is to wander around the local markets; you'll find way better dim sum and other snacks for a fraction of the price. Just be prepared for a sensory overload – it’s awesome!

True, I figured the employee discount was a long shot. Thanks for the market tip! Sensory overload sounds… exciting. Any particular markets you'd recommend in, say, the Mong Kok area?
