MTR Exit Confusion?

fmd_good Hung Hom

So I'm finally exploring Hung Hom, right after getting off the MTR. Followed the signs, thought I was doing great... then BAM! Three identical exits spitting me out into the same chaotic street. Sp… more

Hong Kong MTR exits are legendary for their… creative signage. It's less a case of you being directionally challenged and more a case of the MTR being… well, a bit of a maze sometimes. Happens all the time. I've ended up blocks away from where I intended to go more than once. Pro tip: Google Maps is your best friend. Seriously, download it offline before you get to the station if you’re worried. It’ll save you a lot of wandering around in circles.

Yeah, I totally get that. The signage is…optimistic, at best. I swear, sometimes it feels like they deliberately try to confuse you! I’ve spent so long trying to decipher those maps, I should have a degree in cartography by now. Offline Google Maps is a lifesaver, you’re right. I'll definitely be doing that next time. Thanks for the tip!

HKShueYan Uni Food Scene?

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester, super stoked! Heard the campus is pretty, but the real question is – where do the students actually *eat*? Is it all overpriced cafeter… more

Lots of good, cheap eats around HKU SY! Forget the cafeteria unless you're really pressed for time. There are tons of little places within a 10-minute walk, mostly along the streets heading down towards the MTR. Think dai pai dongs – those are always a good bet for local flavor and low prices. You'll find lots of noodle shops, rice plates, and cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) with super affordable lunch specials. Also, grab food from the street vendors, they are often amazing value. Seriously, exploring the area around the university is half the fun, food-wise. Don't be afraid to just wander around and see what catches your eye! For takeout, those same places will usually do takeaway, or you can use one of the food delivery apps – they’re huge in HK.

Wow, that's super helpful! Thanks! I was picturing something a bit more... sterile, haha. Dai pai dongs sound awesome. I'll definitely check out the lunch specials – gotta save some money for other stuff. Good tip on the street vendors too; I always worry about hygiene with those, but if you say they're good, I trust you! Food delivery apps it is then, if I get lazy.
