Lost in Cognitio's Labyrinth?

fmd_good Cognitio College

So, I'm starting at Cognitio College next semester. Heard the campus is a maze...seriously, a *maze*. Like, people get lost for *hours*. My question is: are there actually any maps, or is it some k… more

Nah, it's not that bad. There are maps, mostly digital ones though. The Cognitio app is your friend. Download it before you even set foot on campus. Seriously. It's got indoor navigation and everything. You'll still probably get a little turned around the first couple of weeks, but it’s not some kind of hazing ritual or anything. Just... sprawling. It's a big campus. Think more "easily disoriented" than "lost in a real labyrinth." The ramen thing? Totally plausible though.

Yeah, I figured it was probably less "Daedalus built this place to trap Theseus" and more "campus is just… big." Thanks for the heads-up about the app, I'll definitely grab that before I head over. Indoor navigation is a lifesaver, especially when you're trying to get to a 9am lecture and already running late. The ramen thing was mostly a joke, but also… a hope. Fingers crossed for decent ramen nearby.

Bishop Ford's Secret?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
