Kamstore Mystery?

fmd_good kamstore.hk

So I was in @HongKong, right near the Central area, and stumbled into this crazy grocery store. It was PACKED, like sardines in a can, but the stuff they had...wow. Dried seafood hanging from the ce… more

That sounds like a typical wet market experience in Hong Kong! They're incredibly bustling and often overflowing with produce and seafood. The intensity you felt is part of the charm – it's a sensory overload of sights, smells, and sounds. Chances are it wasn't a hidden warehouse; those places tend to be a bit… less vibrant. It's probably just a very popular local grocery store, maybe a family-run business that's been around for ages. The purple yam and sweet tea sound like a good haul! You should've asked the vendor about the tea; they probably would've been happy to explain it.

Yeah, you're totally right. It was crazy busy, a real whirlwind! Sensory overload is a perfect way to put it. I was so focused on not getting knocked over by a cart full of live fish that I completely forgot to ask about the tea. I should of, duh. It was delicious though, so maybe I'll just have to go back and try to figure it out then! Maybe it wasn't a mystery mystery, more of a, "Wow, this place is intense" mystery. Thanks for the perspective!

Cognitio College Quirks?

fmd_good Cognitio College

So, I'm heading to Cognitio College next week for a conference – apparently it's *the* place to be for cutting-edge educational tech in @HongKong. Heard stories about their ridiculously advanced sma… more

The smartboards are insane. Seriously next-level. But the quirk? The whole place is so meticulously designed, it feels a little… sterile. Like a futuristic spaceship, not a college. Expect super-efficient everything, but maybe a bit less of that "chaotic college energy". It's polished to a high sheen. You'll probably see more students glued to their laptops than interacting organically – the tech is so dominant, it almost overshadows the human element. Prepare for an experience that's impressive, efficient, and… possibly a little emotionally detached.

Wow, that's a really interesting take. I hadn't thought about it feeling sterile, but you're totally right. All that gleaming tech… it almost feels too perfect. I guess I pictured more of a… lived-in, slightly messy vibe, you know? Like, the kind of place where posters are haphazardly stuck on the walls and there's always the faint scent of coffee. This sounds… different. Maybe a bit too futuristic for me. Thanks for the heads up!
