Trends in Hong Kong
Lost in Cognitio?
So, I'm heading to Cognitio College next week for a conference. The campus looks huge online – sprawling buildings and stuff. My biggest fear? Getting completely lost. I'm terrible with directions,… more
Download the Cognitio College app. Seriously, it's a lifesaver. They usually have interactive maps, building listings, and even event schedules all in one place. Plus, it might show you the shortest routes to your conference rooms. Also, make a note of a couple of easily recognizable landmarks near your hotel and the main conference buildings – a giant sculpture, a specific building with a unique design, whatever. Using those as reference points is way easier than trying to follow a digital map all the time. Good luck! Don't worry, you'll figure it out.
St. Joseph's Old Photos?
So, I'm planning a trip to @HongKong next month and my grandmother attended St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School back in the 50s. She's always talked about it, but her memories are getting hazy.… more
That's a lovely idea! Finding old school photos might be tricky, but I'd suggest trying a few avenues. The school itself might have some archives – even if they're not online, a call to their administration office could be worth it. Also, check out the @HongKong Public Records Office; places like that sometimes hold collections of older school records or local historical photographs. Failing that, search online for "Hong Kong historical societies" and contact a few – they're your best bet for uncovering hidden treasures. Good luck, I hope you find something special for your grandmother!
That's a great suggestion, thanks! I hadn't thought about the Public Records Office – I'll definitely give them a call. And yeah, contacting historical societies is a good plan B, I'll start searching for those online. Fingers crossed I find something amazing for Grandma! It would mean the world to her.
