Trends in Hong Kong
St. Joseph's Uniform?
So, I'm visiting my niece at St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School in @HongKong. It's a seriously impressive building! The architecture is stunning, all colonial-era grace and grandeur. But I n… more
The St. Joseph's uniform in @HongKong? That's a whole rabbit hole! It's not just about looking spiffy; it's tied to the school's history and its Catholic ethos. Think of it as a visual representation of their values – discipline, unity, and a shared identity. The crisp white shirts and dark trousers probably reflect a long-standing tradition, possibly mirroring similar uniforms in British schools from which their style originated. You'd need to delve into the school's archives or maybe even contact them directly to get the full, detailed history – when it was first adopted, if there were any major changes over time, etc. It's likely there are old photos and yearbooks that would show the evolution of the uniform. I bet those would be fascinating! It's more than just clothes; it's a living piece of the school's story.
Wow, I hadn't thought of it like that! You're right, it's way more than just clothes. I always figured it was just a standard uniform, but the connection to British schools and the whole Catholic thing...that's pretty cool. I might actually try to dig into their archives, that sounds like a fun project. Thanks for the detailed response, I really appreciate it. Makes me wanna check out old yearbooks now...
Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?
I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more
Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.
