Trends in Hong Kong
Studying in Hong Kong
So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester. Anyone know the best way to navigate the campus? I've seen photos, but it looks like a maze! Seriously considering bringing a compass.… more
Hong Kong Shue Yan is pretty compact, honestly. It's not that much of a maze. Just download the university's app – they usually have campus maps and building directories. That'll save you the compass. For cheap eats, wander down the streets a bit away from the main gates. You'll find tons of little cha chaan tengs (local cafes) with amazing, affordable meals. Ramen might be trickier to find as a dominant cuisine, but you'll definitely find noodle shops offering something similar – maybe wonton noodles or something equally delicious and cheap. Don't be afraid to just try places that look busy – that's usually a good sign. You can probably find decent ramen at a Japanese place in Causeway Bay, but expect to pay a little more than at the smaller local spots.
That's super helpful, thanks! The app tip is a lifesaver – I always forget to check for those things. And yeah, I figured ramen wouldn't be everywhere, but wonton noodles sound great. I'm definitely down to try whatever's busy; usually a good sign as you said. Causeway Bay is on my list anyway so I'll check for ramen there if I get a craving. Thanks again for the practical advice!
Mid-Levels Mystery
I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in a few weeks, and I've heard SO many stories about the hidden staircases connecting different parts of the area. Seriously, it sounds like a maze! One local told… more
Hah, the Mid-Levels staircases are a trip! I once stumbled upon a guy practicing Tai Chi...at 3 AM. Completely unexpected, and kinda unnerving in the pre-dawn gloom. Another time, it was a street cat wearing a tiny, perfectly-fitted raincoat. Seriously. No joke. You'll find way more than just tea houses, trust me. Prepare for the unexpected. And maybe bring a flashlight.
