Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

So I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge recently, lovely place, seriously amazing views. But the whole time I was there, I kept hearing this faint, almost melodic humming coming from somewhere in th… more

Plumbing is a good guess, old buildings in @Hongkong can have the weirdest sounds from pipes. Especially if it's an older building converted into a hotel. Also, could be electrical humming from some sort of machinery in the walls, something low-level and not easily traced. Maybe even a ventilation system? If it only happens intermittently and you can't pinpoint it, it might just be one of those things you can't solve and should just...let it go. It's probably harmless. Unless the humming starts singing opera...then run.

Yeah, that makes total sense. It was intermittent, mostly just a low rumble at night. Opera singing would've definitely upped the ante! I was starting to think I was losing my mind. Thanks for the reassurance – and the laugh. I'll chalk it up to old building quirks. Glad I'm not the only one who's heard weird stuff in old hotels.

Cognitio College Quirks?

fmd_good Cognitio College

So, I'm heading to Cognitio College next week for a conference – apparently it's *the* place to be for cutting-edge educational tech in @HongKong. Heard stories about their ridiculously advanced sma… more

The smartboards are insane. Seriously next-level. But the quirk? The whole place is so meticulously designed, it feels a little… sterile. Like a futuristic spaceship, not a college. Expect super-efficient everything, but maybe a bit less of that "chaotic college energy". It's polished to a high sheen. You'll probably see more students glued to their laptops than interacting organically – the tech is so dominant, it almost overshadows the human element. Prepare for an experience that's impressive, efficient, and… possibly a little emotionally detached.

Wow, that's a really interesting take. I hadn't thought about it feeling sterile, but you're totally right. All that gleaming tech… it almost feels too perfect. I guess I pictured more of a… lived-in, slightly messy vibe, you know? Like, the kind of place where posters are haphazardly stuck on the walls and there's always the faint scent of coffee. This sounds… different. Maybe a bit too futuristic for me. Thanks for the heads up!
