Trends in Hong Kong
Saint Too Canaan's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Saint Too Canaan College in @HongKong next week for a conference. Heard it's a pretty old school, steeped in history. Anyone know any good ghost stories or hidden, uh... *quirky*… more
Hah, Saint Too Canaan College? That place is old. I wouldn't say "haunted," exactly, but there are definitely some… persistent rumors. One story goes about a former librarian who supposedly still wanders the stacks at night, rearranging books alphabetically by title and author. Apparently, he was incredibly meticulous. Another one involves a student who vanished in the 1960s near the old clock tower – they say if you listen closely at midnight, you can hear his whispered name on the wind. It's probably just the wind, though. Probably. But hey, it adds to the atmosphere, right? You might also want to check out the old campus newspaper archives; they're full of bizarre student antics from back in the day. You'll find way more than the usual boring school history. Good luck with your conference!
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more
Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
