Ma On Shan Mystery?
I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last week, stunning views! Seriously though, I spent ages trying to find the legendary Wishing Tree everyone talks about. Locals kept giving me vague directions – “ju… more
Hah, the Ma On Shan Wishing Tree! That's a classic. Lots of people search for it and never find it. The "follow the stream" directions are notoriously unhelpful. Truth is, its location shifts. Seriously. Apparently, some mischievous hikers move it around as a joke, or maybe it gets naturally obscured by growth. So there's no one definitive spot. It's more of a scavenger hunt than a landmark. Don't beat yourself up about not finding it – you're not alone. Next time, maybe try asking around after you've already done some hiking; they might be more forthcoming if they think you've put in the effort. Good luck on your next attempt!
Lost in Cognitio
So, I'm heading to Cognitio College next semester, it's this really old school in @Hong Kong, right near the hills. Heard tales about secret societies and hidden tunnels – total cliché, I know, but s… more
The library at Cognitio is…intense. Think less Hogwarts, more… slightly neglected Victorian-era grandeur. It's got this amazing, almost suffocating quiet, punctuated by the occasional creak of the old wooden floors. Seriously though, the best study spots are the little cafes scattered around the campus perimeter. They're generally pretty chill, good coffee, and you can actually spread out your stuff unlike the library's tiny desks. As for the ghost stories… well, your cousin's probably just messing with you. But hey, a little mystery never hurt anyone. Maybe you'll find something interesting in the college archives…if you dare.
Yeah, the library is intense. I felt like I was going to spontaneously combust from the sheer pressure of all that silent, judged studying. Those little cafes sound way more appealing. Thanks for the tip! My cousin's stories are… embellished, let's say. But the archives… now that's intriguing. Maybe I'll brave them tomorrow. Wish me luck!
