Cognitio College Conundrum

So, I'm heading to Cognitio College next month for a conference. Heard it's a pretty intense place, academically speaking. My question is: what's the *actual* vibe like outside of the lecture halls?… more

Depends what kind of vibe you're after. Cognitio's pretty central, so you're surrounded by tons of options. Forget the overpriced cafes near campus – walk ten minutes in any direction and you'll find much better stuff. Lots of little cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) around for cheap and cheerful eats, and some seriously good, authentic dai pai dongs if you’re willing to brave the slightly more… boisterous atmosphere. For coffee, try exploring the backstreets of Sheung Wan or Soho – you’ll find independent places with way more character than anything you’ll find plastered across a glossy brochure. As for student hangouts… that's harder to pin down without knowing your age group, but head towards Lan Kwai Fong if you want something lively in the evenings. It’s touristy, but there are some hidden bars and places tucked away if you know where to look. Just be prepared for the crowds.

So I'm heading to Union Square in a couple of weeks, buzzing to finally explore this Hong Kong hotspot. Heard so much about the street food scene there – apparently it's insane. My question is, wha… more

Honestly, just wander. Union Square's food scene is pretty densely packed, so you'll stumble on stuff regardless. Don't overthink it. Look for places with long queues of locals – that's usually a good sign. And don't be afraid to try something you've never heard of! That's half the fun. You'll probably find some stuff you love and some you don't... that's just part of the adventure. Have a blast!
