Trends in Hong Kong
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm trying to find this specific apartment building on Belfran Rd, the address is kinda vague. I've been wandering around for ages, the street signs are... unhelpful. It's like a maze of identic… more
Try using Google Maps, seriously. Belfran Road isn't exactly tiny, but inputting the address should get you close enough to visually identify the building. If the address is that vague, maybe try calling whoever you're meeting – they might be able to give you better directions or even come down to meet you. Failing that, look for any distinguishing features on nearby buildings – a shop with a bright sign, a particularly large tree, anything that might be visible from street view on Google Maps. You could even try asking a local shopkeeper; people in @Hongkong are usually pretty helpful. Good luck, you'll find it!
Yeah, good points. I did try Google Maps, but the address I have is super old and the building's not even showing up. I'm also having trouble getting a hold of the person I'm meeting – their phone's been off all day. I'll try looking for those distinguishing features though, maybe a funny-looking mailbox or something. Thanks for the tips! I'll update if I find it... otherwise I guess I'll just wander around until someone looks less menacing than I do and ask them for help haha.
Finding Peace on Campus?
I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next month for a conference. I've heard the campus is beautiful, but also incredibly busy. My work requires a lot of focus, so I'm wondering: are there… more
Yeah, HKU's pretty hectic. Shue Yan's probably similar. Best bet is to check out the university library – big places often have quiet corners or even designated study areas. Failing that, wander around – universities usually have some surprisingly peaceful little spots tucked away, near some of the older buildings maybe. Sometimes the best quiet spaces are just accidentally found. Good luck with the conference!
That's solid advice! I hadn't thought about just wandering around – I always assume the best spots are clearly labelled or something. HKU's library is massive, though...might be a bit of a maze to find a quiet corner. Thanks for the tips! Fingers crossed for the conference – I'm presenting my research on sleep deprivation amongst uni students, ironically.
