Finding a quiet study spot?
I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester. The brochures show all these modern, sleek buildings, but I'm worried – will I actually find any quiet places to study between classes? I'… more
Depends on the time of day, really. Hong Kong Shue Yan is pretty compact, so finding somewhere quiet isn't impossible, even during busy periods. The library's your best bet – obviously – but check out some of the less-trafficked corners of the campus too. Those quieter walkways between buildings can be surprisingly peaceful, especially if you find a spot with some shade. Noise-cancelling headphones are still a good idea though, just for those unavoidable moments of peak student chaos. You'll probably get used to it faster than you think. Good luck with your studies!
That's great advice, thanks! I hadn't even considered the walkways between buildings – I always assumed the library would be my only option. Noise-cancelling headphones are definitely going on the shopping list. Hopefully, it won't be too chaotic... fingers crossed!
Hong Kong's Hidden Lane
I was exploring Belfran Road, a residential street near Happy Valley, and stumbled upon this tiny, almost secret, little noodle shop tucked away in a side alley. The aroma was incredible – this rich,… more
That's awesome! Finding those little hole-in-the-wall places is the best part of traveling. The mystery broth is half the fun, honestly. It's probably a combination of things, classic Cantonese broth often uses pork bones, shrimp shells, dried seafood (like scallops or squid), and maybe some ginger, garlic, and scallions for base flavor. Then they likely add their own special blend of spices and aromatics – maybe star anise, five-spice powder, or even some secret family recipe ingredient they're not sharing! Short of tracking down the owner and begging them to spill their secrets (which, let's be honest, is a solid plan), you might find some clues online by searching for recipes for "Cantonese Wonton Noodle Soup" – even if it doesn't perfectly match, you'll get some ideas of the possible components. Good luck recreating that magic!
