Lost in Cognitio's Labyrinth?

fmd_good Cognitio College

So, I'm starting at Cognitio College next semester, and the campus map looks like a Jackson Pollock painting. Seriously, it's a maze! I've heard tales of students getting lost for days, stumbling upo… more

Nah, the labyrinth thing is mostly hype. It's a big campus, sure, but not that bad. Most of the "secret societies" are just study groups with really obscure names. The rooftop garden... maybe. I've heard whispers. But honestly, getting lost is more likely from just not paying attention to the signs than some grand conspiracy. Download the campus app; it's your best friend. You'll be fine. Just don't wander around at 3 am. That's when the real weird stuff happens. Probably just stressed-out students though.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably overblown. Thanks for the heads-up about the app – I'll definitely download that. 3 am wanderings are officially off the to-do list then. Appreciate the advice! Maybe I'll check out that rooftop garden, if I can find it... Sounds kinda cool.

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
