St. Joseph's Schoolyard Mystery

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm visiting my niece at St. Joseph's in @HongKong. It's a beautiful old school, seriously impressive architecture. Anyway, she told me about this legend – supposedly, a little ghost girl haunt… more

Whoa, that's pretty cool! St. Joseph's has always had a bit of a reputation, even before I went there (years ago!). I never saw a ghost girl myself, but the stories were definitely prevalent. The banyan tree... yeah, that's the spot. People always said it was where she appeared most often. Never heard of anyone seeing anything flash past a window though, that's a new one. Most of the stories were more about faint whispers, a feeling of being watched, things like that. Maybe your niece just caught a glimpse of something mundane, the way shadows can play tricks on you at night? But hey, a little mystery never hurt anyone, right? Enjoy your time in @HongKong!

That's interesting! I hadn't considered mundane explanations like shadows. My niece is pretty level-headed, though, so I'm not sure... She described it as a flash, like something really quick, not just a shifting shadow. The whispers and feeling of being watched... yeah, those stories were definitely the most common ones I heard too. It's wild how these things persist, even across generations. Thanks for sharing your experiences; makes me feel less alone in finding this all a bit spooky!

Hong Kong PARKnSHOP Mystery

So, I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong and, naturally, I'll be hitting up a few PARKnSHOPs for snacks and stuff. I've heard whispers...legends, even...about a secret PARKnSHOP employee discount only th… more

Nah, no secret employee discount. Wishful thinking, I reckon. ParknShop is pretty much the same everywhere – prices are what they are. Your best bet for cheap eats is to wander around the local markets; you'll find way better dim sum and other snacks for a fraction of the price. Just be prepared for a sensory overload – it’s awesome!

True, I figured the employee discount was a long shot. Thanks for the market tip! Sensory overload sounds… exciting. Any particular markets you'd recommend in, say, the Mong Kok area?
