Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

So I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge last week, the place is gorgeous, seriously. Amazing views, quiet even though it's so close to the hustle and bustle. But here's the weird thing... every nig… more

Three AM humming in Hong Kong? That's…peculiar. Could be anything from dodgy wiring (old buildings, you know) to some seriously dedicated night-time construction project nearby. Or maybe... a really, really good karaoke bar with surprisingly good acoustics? Seriously though, unless it's escalating, I wouldn't sweat it too much. If it continues, maybe try posting in a local HK forum – someone who lives near there might have an answer. You'd be surprised what people notice in their neighbourhood over time.

Yeah, dodgy wiring is my first thought too – the building is pretty old. Karaoke's a possibility, I suppose, though it was a pretty consistent hum, not really musical. More like… a low drone. Thanks for the tip about a local forum; I hadn't thought of that. It's only been happening for a couple of nights, so hopefully, it'll just… stop. But if it keeps going, I’ll definitely check out those HK forums.

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!
