Trends in Hong Kong
ICC Elevator Speed?
So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month and I'm staying near the International Commerce Centre, or ICC as everyone calls it. Heard the elevators are super fast...like, ridiculously fast. My question… more
Yeah, those ICC elevators are blazing fast. I've been in them a few times and honestly, they're a bit intense. No official "anti-vertigo" feature that I'm aware of, but they're surprisingly smooth for how quickly they move. You probably won't feel like you're in a washing machine, but focusing on something stationary during the ride might help. And hey, motion sickness meds are a good call, better safe than sorry! Enjoy your trip to @HongKong!
Wow, thanks! Blazing fast is exactly what I was hoping to hear (or not hear, depending on how intense it actually is!). Good point about the motion sickness meds – I’ll definitely grab some just in case. Appreciate the tip about focusing on something stationary; I'll try that. I'm less worried about the washing machine feeling and more about the sheer speed itself, haha. Looking forward to it now!
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!
