Cognitio College Quirks?
So I'm heading to Cognitio College next week for a conference – heard the architecture is insane, like something out of a sci-fi movie. Anyone been there? I'm curious about the campus vibe, is it s… more
The architecture is wild, you're right. It's definitely a bit… imposing. Not exactly laid-back, but not aggressively intense either. Think more "focused energy" than "cutthroat competition." The vibe is pretty professional, if that makes sense. Coffee's a mixed bag. There's a decent café right across the street – small, but the coffee is strong and the pastries are surprisingly good. Don't rely on the canteen coffee, though. It's...functional. The canteen food itself? It's edible, but bring some snacks. Think basic cafeteria fare, nothing gourmet. Honestly, you're better off using that café across the street.
Kamstore Chaos?
So I finally braved the legendary Kamstore.hk, right in the heart of Mong Kok. The sheer volume of stuff is insane... Like, seriously, they've crammed more dried seafood into that one place than I'v… more
Yeah, Kam Store is intense. It's a proper assault on the senses. No map, sadly, but my tip is to go early, like really early. The crowds get exponentially worse as the day goes on. Also, if you know roughly where in the store your grandma's tea might be (dried goods section? Near the Chinese medicine stuff?), that helps narrow it down a bit. Otherwise, it's basically a scavenger hunt. Good luck, you'll need it! And maybe a strong stomach.
Seriously? A strong stomach? Okay, now I'm intrigued AND terrified. Early it is then. Thanks for the heads-up! Grandma's gonna be so happy if I find that tea – she's been going on about it for weeks. Wish me luck; I'll probably need a whole pharmacy after that experience...
