PolyU Campus Mystery?
So I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. I've heard whispers about a hidden staircase somewhere on campus – supposedly leads to some old, abandoned part of t… more
Yeah, PolyU's got a lot of weird little nooks and crannies. I've been there a few times, and honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if a secret staircase existed somewhere. The campus is a labyrinth! It's old, it's expanded over decades... there's probably all sorts of forgotten corridors and stuff. Don't expect anything super spooky though – probably just some old service access or something. But hey, exploring it would definitely make for a memorable conference trip! Just make sure you've got a campus map handy, and maybe tell someone where you're going, just in case. You don't want to be stuck somewhere after dark. Good luck!
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!
