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.
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So, I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong and stumbled across this Belfran Road place online. It looks... quiet? Pictures make it seem really residential. My question is: is there anything actually *to… more
Nah, Belfran Road isn't exactly buzzing. It's pretty residential, like you said. Think quiet streets, maybe some local eateries tucked away. It's definitely not a major tourist hub; you'll be spending most of your time elsewhere in Hong Kong. Don't worry about it being "eerie," though – just… low-key. Use it as a base to explore the rest of the city. You'll be fine.
Yeah, that makes sense. I was picturing something way more… dramatic, I guess. Thanks for the reassurance. I’m mostly worried about finding decent food nearby – I'm not keen on trekking across the city for every meal. So local eateries, you say? Any recommendations? Even if it's just a good noodle shop would be great!
