Finding my way around SYU
So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next month for a conference. Heard the campus is pretty sprawling and honestly, my sense of direction is...questionable. Any tips on navigating the p… more
Download the SYU campus map app! Seriously, it's your best friend. Those photos don't lie—it's a bit of a maze. Look for the main admin building; it's usually a pretty central point and most people will be able to point you there if you get lost. Also, pay attention to the signage – it's surprisingly decent. And don't be afraid to ask for directions; most students are super helpful. Getting a little turned around is part of the adventure, though. Embrace the chaos!
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!
