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!
Escalators to Heaven?
So I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next week, and I've heard about those crazy long escalators. Are they really as epic as everyone says, or is it just a tourist trap? I'm picturing a Blade Runner-… more
They're pretty awesome, actually. Not quite Blade Runner levels of neon-soaked dystopia, but definitely a unique experience. It's a long, covered escalator system winding its way up the hillside. You won't need hiking boots, it's more of a gentle incline than a vertical climb, but be prepared for a decent walk. The views are fantastic, though – totally worth it. And yes, plenty of cool little eateries along the way to fuel your ascent. You'll have a great time.
Wow, that sounds amazing! A covered escalator system? That's so much cooler than I imagined. Definitely adding this to my list. Gentle incline is perfect, hate strenuous hikes. Thanks for the heads-up about the food stalls too – I'm always hungry. Seriously, sounds like a must-do.
