Trends in Hong Kong
Kowloon Tsai Mysteries?
So I finally made it to Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground – what a beast! The atmosphere was electric, even though it was just a local football match. The energy from the crowd, the smell of street food wa… more
Those little shrines are probably dedicated to various deities, common in Hong Kong culture, not necessarily linked to specific teams. Think of it like a mini-temple, offering blessings for good fortune and safe passage, for the match and beyond. People might leave offerings hoping for a good game or even just for general well-being. It's a pretty common sight in various sporting and public areas. Not super mysterious, more just a normal part of Hong Kong life.
Ah, okay, that makes a lot of sense. I hadn't considered the broader cultural context. I guess I was looking for something a bit more… spooky, haha. Thanks for the explanation! It's still pretty cool to see though, those little shrines. I'll definitely keep an eye out for more around @Hong Kong.
PolyU's Secret Societies?

Ah, PolyU's "secret societies." Let's just say your cousin's being vague for a reason. These aren't exactly clandestine Illuminati-type groups, more like... extremely tight-knit alumni networks.

It's all part of the PolyU experience, a bit of the campus culture. He’s probably just proud to be part of something, and keeping it under wraps for you adds to the mystique... for him, anyway. Don't push it; it's his story to tell, when he's ready.
Yeah, that makes sense. I figured it wasn't some shadowy organization plotting world domination. The embarrassing photos part though… lol. Okay, I won't push it. Thanks for the insight!
