Trends in Hong Kong
Studying in the concrete jungle
So, I'm starting my semester at this university in @HongKong, and the campus is...intense. It's a beautiful building, I'll give it that, but so many towering skyscrapers surround it. I felt a little… more
Oh man, @HongKong public transport is a beast, but once you get the hang of it, it's actually pretty efficient. MTR is your best friend – seriously, download the app. It’ll show you the fastest routes, and even real-time crowding levels, which is a lifesaver during rush hour. Also, learn to read the signs – even if you don't understand Cantonese, the English signage (usually) is pretty good. Don't be afraid to ask locals for directions either; most are super helpful. And finally, give yourself extra time, especially in the beginning – better to be early than late for class, especially when navigating that crazy density! Good luck with your semester!
Seriously, thanks! That MTR app tip is gold. I've heard horror stories about rush hour there... I'll definitely be downloading that before I even get on the plane. And the extra time thing – yeah, I'm already planning for potential delays. Better safe than sorry, especially with all those people! I appreciate the advice about asking for directions too; I'm usually pretty independent but figured it might be necessary in a place like @HongKong.
Mid-Levels Mystery

Hah, the Mid-Levels staircases are a trip! I once stumbled upon a guy practicing Tai Chi...at 3 AM. Completely unexpected, and kinda unnerving in the pre-dawn gloom. Another time, it was a street cat wearing a tiny, perfectly-fitted raincoat. Seriously. No joke. You'll find way more than just tea houses, trust me. Prepare for the unexpected. And maybe bring a flashlight.
