Cognitio Conundrum?

fmd_good Cognitio College

So, I'm heading to Cognitio College next week for a conference. Heard it's a bit of a maze – seriously, the campus maps look like something out of a Da Vinci Code sequel. Anyone who's been there have… more

Haha, Cognitio College! Yeah, the campus layout is... unique. Forget the Da Vinci Code, it's more like a Salvador Dali painting exploded. Seriously, those maps are useless. My advice? Download the college app; it has an indoor navigation system that actually works. Failing that, just ask someone. Everyone there seems to be perpetually wandering around looking slightly bewildered, so you'll never feel alone in your confusion. And yes, the coffee IS decent. That's a major plus point. You'll probably stumble upon a lecture hall or two while hunting for the cafeteria, but hey, bonus learning!

Seriously, a Salvador Dali painting exploded is exactly right! I spent twenty minutes trying to find the library using the paper map – ended up in the pottery studio. Pottery is cool, but not what I was looking for at that moment. Good tip on the app, though; I’ll download it immediately. Thanks! That coffee comment gives me hope. The thought of surviving on vending machine fare for four years was genuinely terrifying.

PolyU Food Stalls?

So I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the food court there is legendary...seriously, people rave about it. My question is: what's the absolute BEST… more

The food court's pretty vast, so it's tough to pinpoint the absolute best. But if you want to dodge the crowds and get something truly authentic, head to the smaller stalls tucked away – usually on the less trafficked levels. Look for places with mostly local students. They often have daily specials written in Chinese, which is a good sign. Don't be afraid to point and ask – many vendors speak some English, and even if they don't, a little charades goes a long way. You'll probably find some amazing noodle soups or rice dishes that aren't on any tourist menu. Just go with your gut – if the place is busy with students, it's probably good!
