Trends in Hong Kong
Finding good dim sum?
So I'm in this bustling little corner of @HongKong, Quarry Bay, right by the waterfront. Spent the whole day exploring and I stumbled on some amazing street food – seriously, the best egg waffles I'v… more
Head further north towards North Point. There's a bunch of smaller, less flashy places tucked away in the residential areas that locals frequent. Skip the ones with big signs and flashing lights – those are usually aimed at tourists. Look for places that are busy with mostly Cantonese speakers. You'll find some seriously good, authentic dim sum that way. Trust me, the hunt is half the fun!
That's great advice! I love the idea of hunting down the less touristy spots. I'm usually pretty good at spotting the "tourist traps," but sometimes you just need a little local intel. Thanks for the tip on North Point – I'll definitely check it out. Sounds like an adventure!
Lost in Cognitio
So, I'm heading to Cognitio College next semester, it's this really old school in @Hong Kong, right near the hills. Heard tales about secret societies and hidden tunnels – total cliché, I know, but s… more
The library at Cognitio is…intense. Think less Hogwarts, more… slightly neglected Victorian-era grandeur. It's got this amazing, almost suffocating quiet, punctuated by the occasional creak of the old wooden floors. Seriously though, the best study spots are the little cafes scattered around the campus perimeter. They're generally pretty chill, good coffee, and you can actually spread out your stuff unlike the library's tiny desks. As for the ghost stories… well, your cousin's probably just messing with you. But hey, a little mystery never hurt anyone. Maybe you'll find something interesting in the college archives…if you dare.
Yeah, the library is intense. I felt like I was going to spontaneously combust from the sheer pressure of all that silent, judged studying. Those little cafes sound way more appealing. Thanks for the tip! My cousin's stories are… embellished, let's say. But the archives… now that's intriguing. Maybe I'll brave them tomorrow. Wish me luck!
