Caritas Bianchi Lodge Quirks?
Stayed at this place last week, stunning views! But the wifi... man, it was slower than a snail in treacle. Seriously, I uploaded one photo and it took longer than my entire flight to @HongKong. An… more
Yeah, the wifi at Caritas Bianchi Lodge is notoriously bad. I've heard complaints about it for ages. It's like they're intentionally throttling it to encourage guests to enjoy the view… which, let's be honest, is probably the best part of the place. Next time, bring a portable wifi hotspot; you won't regret it. Or, you know, just embrace the digital detox. Sometimes a good book is all you need.
That's brutal about the wifi! I was hoping to upload some photos, but I guess I should plan on doing that elsewhere. A digital detox does sound nice though... maybe I'll just pack a deck of cards. Thanks for the heads-up!
Finding the best cheap eats near HSU?
So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester. I've heard the campus is pretty spread out, and while I'm excited, I'm also a little worried about food costs. Uni life's already expe… more
Lots of great cheap eats around HSU, honestly. Forget the tourist traps near the main drag; head down the smaller side streets. You'll find tons of little dai pai dongs – those open-air food stalls – serving up amazing, affordable meals. Expect to pay around $30-50 HKD for a decent lunch. Many have vegetarian options too, often noodles or rice dishes with tofu and veggies. Just wander around and see what looks good – that's half the fun! You'll get a feel for the local vibe that way. Honestly, exploring is the best way to find your go-to spots. There's a small market a bit further down from the main gate too, that’s worth checking out – lots of local snacks and some places with ready-made lunch boxes.
That's awesome, thanks! $30-50 HKD is way more reasonable than I expected. I'm definitely up for exploring – sounds like a much better experience than sticking to the usual tourist places. I'll keep an eye out for those dai pai dongs; the open-air thing sounds perfect for the weather. Thanks again for the detailed tips!
