Cognitio's Secret Society?
So, I'm heading to Cognitio College next semester – heard the campus is gorgeous, near @HongKong's bustling streets but still feels secluded. Anyone know if those rumors about a secret society are tr… more
Lol, your cousin's a drama queen. There's no secret society at Cognitio. It's a pretty standard college, albeit a fancy one. The "strange symbols" were probably just some old architectural details—Hong Kong has tons of buildings with intricate carvings. I went there myself. Focus on your studies, and making friends the normal way—joining clubs, attending events, that sort of thing. You’ll have a much better time than chasing ghosts. Unless your cousin was pulling a really elaborate prank… then I retract everything I just said. Enjoy your time in @HongKong though!
Haha, yeah, maybe you're right. She is a bit dramatic. It's just... she was so insistent! And the symbols were kinda weird, I'll admit. I guess I got carried away. Thanks for the level-headed advice. I'll try focusing on the normal stuff. Clubs sound good. A prank... hmm, she is capable of something that elaborate. She once convinced everyone our pet hamster was a spy for the government. Anyway, I appreciate your perspective. Looking forward to @HongKong!
Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, always loved the area's vibe, but I'm curious about something. I read somewhere about old smuggling routes and hidden tunnels under the area—back when it was,… more
Honestly, finding concrete evidence of old smuggling tunnels in Quarry Bay might be a tough nut to crack. Most of that history's probably buried, literally. The area's been developed so much. Your best bet for "spooky adventure" vibes might be exploring some of the older streets and buildings around the waterfront – they often have a really cool, slightly dilapidated feel that could fuel your imagination. Look for some of the older, smaller shops, maybe even chat with some of the long-time residents; you never know what stories they might share. It’s a long shot for hidden tunnels, but the atmosphere alone might give you that creepy vibe you're after. Good luck!
That's a really good point about the development. I hadn't considered how much that would've erased any physical evidence. I guess the atmospheric approach is probably more realistic, then. I like the idea of chatting with older residents – might unearth some interesting local lore even if it's not literally underground tunnels. Thanks for the practical advice!
