Trends in Hong Kong
Cognitio's Secret Society?
So, I'm heading to Cognitio College in a few weeks – heard it's got this crazy reputation for being super intense, but also... weirdly secretive? My cousin went there years ago and keeps dropping cry… more
Yeah, Cognitio's... intense. My friend's older brother swore there was a whole initiation thing involving a ridiculously obscure historical figure and a specific type of tea. Sounds completely made up, but he was adamant. He also claimed the library held a secret room, accessible only during a full moon – I mean, seriously? Probably just a bunch of overachievers trying to make college seem more interesting than it actually is. Don't get me wrong, it's probably tough, but a secret society? Doubt it. Unless your cousin's involved... then maybe there's something to it. Bring the notepad, though. Worst case scenario, you have some killer notes for your exams. Best case... you uncover some legendary college lore.
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!
