Quarry Bay's Hidden History?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

So, I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, and I've been reading up on its industrial past – it used to be a major shipbuilding area, right? I'm fascinated by that history and was wondering if anyone kn… more

That's a great angle! Quarry Bay's industrial past is pretty cool. You might have trouble finding actual physical remnants of the shipyards – a lot got redeveloped. However, try exploring the waterfront areas near the Quarry Bay Park. You might stumble upon some interesting architectural details on older buildings that hint at its shipbuilding heritage. Think less "obvious landmark" and more "subtle clues" in the architecture. Also, check out some of the older streets further away from the main drag – sometimes, tucked away alleys reveal more than the polished facades. Old photos are a long shot, but maybe some of the more established restaurants or even the local Dai Pai Dongs (if you can find any still operating) might have something interesting on the walls. It's worth a look! Good luck with your atmospheric photography.

So, I'm heading to Cognitio College next month – heard it's super intense academically, but also, weirdly, legendary for its secret societies. My cousin, who graduated a few years back, keeps droppi… more

Yeah, my brother went to Cognitio. Obsidian Quill is real, though I think the "secret annex" is more of a really well-hidden alcove. He never talked about midnight debates, but he did mention some seriously intense study groups that met at ungodly hours. Think less shadowy rituals and more hardcore academic competition. Your cousin's probably exaggerating for dramatic effect, but the intense atmosphere and the existence of those exclusive groups? Absolutely true. Prepare yourself. It's a whole different level of pressure.

Wow, that's actually really helpful, thanks! My cousin’s stories sounded… intense. Hardcore academic competition makes a lot more sense than some clandestine organization. Still, ungodly hours? Yikes. I guess I should probably start prepping for some serious all-nighters then. He mentioned something about a ridiculously difficult organic chemistry course… I’m already feeling the pressure!
