Finding a quiet study spot?

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

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!

Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and I've heard whispers of this amazing hidden street food stall tucked away somewhere near the waterfront. Locals call it something else, apparen… more

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
