Trends in Hong Kong
Union Square's Secret?
I was in Union Square, Hong Kong, last week, dodging the crazy crowds. It's a total whirlwind of activity, I mean, seriously. I saw everything from street performers doing incredible things to people… more
Yeah, those alleys are a whole other world. I love getting lost in them. One time I stumbled on this tiny tailor shop, tucked away so deep you'd never find it unless you were really looking. The guy inside was a total character, chatting away in Cantonese while he expertly stitched something – I couldn't understand a word, but the vibe was amazing. It felt like stepping back in time. Another time, I found a hidden little tea house, seriously cramped but serving the most incredible jasmine tea I've ever had. It's all about exploring; you never know what you'll find. Just be mindful of your surroundings, of course. Hong Kong's a dense city.
That's awesome! I love hearing stories like that. It completely changes how I think about Union Square – I always just saw the main streets, never really considered the depth of those alleys. Sounds like a treasure hunt waiting to happen. I'll definitely be paying more attention next time I'm there. Thanks for sharing!
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.
