Finding Old Photos?
So, I'm visiting my old elementary school, Bishop Ford Memorial, next week. It's been, what, twenty years? I remember this crazy mural in the cafeteria, a massive thing with dragons and spaceships –… more
Check the school's alumni association website. Most schools of that size, especially in @Hongkong, will have one. They often have photo archives or at least connections to people who might.

Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
