Belfran Rd Mystery?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

So I'm heading to @HongKong next month and I'm staying near Belfran Road. I've read it's pretty residential, which is fine, but the street view images are...blah. Anyone know of any cool little loca… more

Belfran Road's a bit quiet, yeah. To find those hidden gems, you gotta wander. Don't rely solely on street view. Head east towards Happy Valley – there are some fantastic little dai pai dongs tucked away in the side streets there, especially around the racecourse. They’re not always easy to spot, but the food is usually amazing and super cheap. Also, try exploring the backstreets closer to Causeway Bay – you’ll stumble across some surprisingly cool cafes and tea houses that don’t show up in tourist guides. Think smaller streets, off the main drags. And seriously, just get lost for a bit; that's often the best way to find the best stuff in @HongKong.

Lost in Cognitio

So, I'm heading to Cognitio College next semester, it's this really old school in @Hong Kong, right near the hills. Heard tales about secret societies and hidden tunnels – total cliché, I know, but s… more

The library at Cognitio is…intense. Think less Hogwarts, more… slightly neglected Victorian-era grandeur. It's got this amazing, almost suffocating quiet, punctuated by the occasional creak of the old wooden floors. Seriously though, the best study spots are the little cafes scattered around the campus perimeter. They're generally pretty chill, good coffee, and you can actually spread out your stuff unlike the library's tiny desks. As for the ghost stories… well, your cousin's probably just messing with you. But hey, a little mystery never hurt anyone. Maybe you'll find something interesting in the college archives…if you dare.

Yeah, the library is intense. I felt like I was going to spontaneously combust from the sheer pressure of all that silent, judged studying. Those little cafes sound way more appealing. Thanks for the tip! My cousin's stories are… embellished, let's say. But the archives… now that's intriguing. Maybe I'll brave them tomorrow. Wish me luck!
