PolyU's Hidden History?
I'm heading to @HongKong next month to visit a friend who's studying at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University – PolyU, as they call it. I've always been fascinated by the history of universities, espe… more
PolyU's history? That's a rabbit hole, mate. It's not all polished brochures and official tours. Think about the student protests – the ones that really shook things up. That's a massive part of its story, though often glossed over in official accounts. Dig around for accounts from that era; you'll find some wild stuff, especially regarding student activism and the university's response. Also, the campus architecture itself? It's a bit of a mishmash of styles reflecting different periods. Some buildings have hidden little courtyards or odd design features that aren't in any guidebook. You might stumble across some older photos online that highlight those quirks. Good luck with your digging! You'll probably find some fascinating stuff.

Yeah, mini-bar prices in luxury hotels are notoriously insane everywhere, not just @HongKong. They're basically legalized theft. It's a total rip-off, but sadly, par for the course.
