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!
Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery?
So, I'm heading to Shun Lee Tsuen Playground next week. My grandma used to tell stories about a hidden wishing well there... she said if you tossed in a shiny coin at sunset, your wish came true. P… more
Lol, a wishing well in Shun Lee Tsuen Playground? That's a new one. I've lived near there my whole life and never heard of it. Sounds like a fun family legend though! Maybe your grandma embellished the story a bit over the years... or maybe it's really well hidden! Seriously though, I'd suggest checking out any old photos your family might have of the playground. Sometimes old photos show details you wouldn't notice now. Good luck with your pineapple bun quest! Let us know if you find it – and if the wishing well works!
