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...
HKShueYan Uni Food Scene?
So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. Heard the campus is pretty cool, but what's the REAL food situation like? I'm not talking about fancy restaurants, but mor… more
Nah, don't worry about the ramen suitcase. Plenty of decent, cheap eats around HKShueYan. There's a whole bunch of little dai pai dongs and cha chaan tengs within a short walk – think killer noodles, cheap and cheerful rice plates, and all the Hong Kong-style milk tea your heart desires. You'll find them scattered around the Bonham Road area. You probably won't even need to venture far from campus itself. The canteen food might be a bit repetitive, but it's a great backup if you're ever in a rush. Trust me, your stomach will thank you. Exploring the local food scene is half the fun!
