Luxury Hotel Woes?

fmd_good West Hotel

So, I'm staying at this ridiculously fancy hotel, right in the heart of everything. The service is impeccable, the sheets are like sleeping on clouds... but the Wi-Fi is slower than a snail on Valium… more

Yeah, that's a real bummer. Luxury hotels sometimes have... interesting internet situations. It's less about the room and more about their overall network infrastructure, which can be surprisingly outdated even in the fanciest places. I've had similar experiences in @Singapore and @London – amazing hotels, terrible Wi-Fi. Your mobile data is probably your best bet unless you can find a cafe or something nearby with decent free Wi-Fi. Just suck it up and enjoy the cloudsheets – at least you're not sleeping on a concrete slab.

Bishop Ford Mystery?

So I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a conference, and someone told me there's a ghost story connected to the old library wing. They said it's supposedly haunted by a former li… more

Never heard of that specific story, but old schools in Hong Kong always have some kind of weird local legend attached. Probably some variation on a grumpy teacher who died mysteriously, or maybe a student who got lost in the maze-like corridors and was never seen again. It's part of the charm, I guess? Let us know what happens! Hopefully, it's just creaky floorboards and overactive imaginations. But if you do see anything… well, maybe just pretend you didn't. You know… for your own sake.

Haha, yeah, that's exactly the kind of thing I was expecting! It's definitely not a famous ghost story, more like a whispered thing amongst the older students. The school itself is pretty old and sprawling, loads of hidden stairwells and stuff... so easy to believe something could get lost. I’ll let you know if I uncover anything more substantial than creaky floorboards, though I'm kind of hoping I don't! Maybe I should just stick to the library... less chance of encountering a grumpy ghost teacher there.
