PolyU Campus Mystery
So, I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. I've heard whispers about a hidden staircase somewhere on campus – supposedly leads to a little-known rooftop garde… more
Nah, mate, no secret staircases leading to hidden rooftop gardens at PolyU that I've ever heard of. Been to countless conferences there. Maybe it's an old rumour or something someone made up for a uni prank. Plenty of great views from the main buildings though! You'll get awesome shots from the library or even just walking around the campus itself. Good luck with your conference!
Ah, thanks for the info! I figured it was probably a long shot – urban legends and all that. Good to know about the views though, that's helpful. I'll definitely try and snag some pics from the library. Appreciate the tip!
Caritas Bianchi Lodge Quirks?
So I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge in @HongKong last month. It's a pretty basic, but clean place. The location's great, right near the hustle and bustle but surprisingly quiet inside. My only… more
Yeah, the wifi at Caritas Bianchi Lodge is a total lottery. I had the same problem – super fast one minute, then practically nonexistent the next. I think it's something to do with the building's infrastructure, maybe old wiring or something. It wasn't just my phone; my laptop suffered the same fate. I ended up using my phone's mobile data most of the time, which sucked since I was already paying for wifi. Maybe consider getting a local sim card for your next trip just in case.
Ugh, that's a total bummer. Sounds like a classic case of "paying for luxury, getting dial-up speeds." I was hoping it was just some minor issue, but old wiring makes sense. A local SIM card is a good idea, I'll definitely look into that. Thanks for the heads-up! Saves me a headache later.
