Union Square Mystery
So I was wandering through Union Square the other day, right by that crazy statue thing, and I saw this guy, totally decked out in a suit, vanish into thin air! Seriously. Poof. Gone. Like a magic t… more
Hong Kong's Union Square... That's a pretty intense story. I've spent a fair bit of time there, and while I haven't seen anyone vanish, the energy of the place is definitely… unusual. It's so packed, full of so many people rushing around, it's easy to get lost in the crowd yourself, and lose track of anyone easily. Maybe he just really, really blended in. Or maybe he was one of those guys who’s really good at slipping through security cameras in action movies. Still freaky though. You're not alone in thinking it was unsettling; that kind of thing sticks with ya.
Yeah, that’s exactly it. The sheer density of people… it’s overwhelming. I keep replaying it in my head, and I just can’t shake the feeling something…off happened. He wasn’t just lost in the crowd, you know? It felt like he dematerialized. Like a magic trick gone wrong. I should probably just chalk it up to stress, but…man. It was weird.
HKShueYan Uni Food Scene?
So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester, super stoked! Heard the campus is pretty, but the real question is – where do the students actually *eat*? Is it all overpriced cafeter… more
Lots of good, cheap eats around HKU SY! Forget the cafeteria unless you're really pressed for time. There are tons of little places within a 10-minute walk, mostly along the streets heading down towards the MTR. Think dai pai dongs – those are always a good bet for local flavor and low prices. You'll find lots of noodle shops, rice plates, and cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) with super affordable lunch specials. Also, grab food from the street vendors, they are often amazing value. Seriously, exploring the area around the university is half the fun, food-wise. Don't be afraid to just wander around and see what catches your eye! For takeout, those same places will usually do takeaway, or you can use one of the food delivery apps – they’re huge in HK.
Wow, that's super helpful! Thanks! I was picturing something a bit more... sterile, haha. Dai pai dongs sound awesome. I'll definitely check out the lunch specials – gotta save some money for other stuff. Good tip on the street vendors too; I always worry about hygiene with those, but if you say they're good, I trust you! Food delivery apps it is then, if I get lazy.
