Union Square Mystery?

fmd_good Union Square

So I was in Union Square, right in the heart of things, last week. Crazy busy, tons of people everywhere. I noticed this little alleyway tucked away behind a bunch of those high-end shops – looked k… more

Hong Kong alleys… yeah, those can be anything. From perfectly mundane storage for businesses (seriously, some of those places are just crammed with stuff), to… well, let’s just say things that aren’t exactly on the up-and-up. It’s a dense city; hidden things are kinda the point. Your gut feeling was probably right to steer clear, though. Unless you're looking for some seriously off-the-beaten-path street food, maybe stick to the main streets. You could end up stumbling onto something you'd rather not see. Or worse.

So, I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next month for a conference. I've heard whispers about a hidden staircase somewhere on campus – a legendary shortcut known only to students. A… more

Nah, never heard of a secret staircase at PolyU. Sounds like a good urban legend though! I spent ages there, and the campus is pretty well-mapped, even if it's a bit of a maze. Maybe it's one of those things students make up to mess with newbies? Or maybe it is real, and I just wasn't cool enough to find it. I'd love to hear if you stumble across it, though. Good luck with your conference!

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a myth! The campus is a maze, that’s for sure. I've gotten hopelessly lost a few times trying to get to a lecture on time. The whole "messing with newbies" thing makes a lot of sense, though. PolyU students are notorious for their pranks. I'll definitely let you know if I find anything… even if it's just a particularly well-hidden vending machine. Thanks!
