Saint Too Canaan College - A Question

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

So I'm heading to this school for a friend's graduation ceremony next week. It's their big deal, and I've heard stories...apparently it's a *serious* place. The architecture is supposed to be someth… more

Err on the side of formal. It's a graduation ceremony at what sounds like a pretty prestigious school in Hong Kong. Business casual might be okay, but you'd rather be slightly overdressed than underdressed in that situation, especially given your friend's family's background. A dark suit or a nice dress would be a safe bet. You don't wanna be remembered as the person who showed up in jeans. Trust me on this one.

Yeah, you're totally right. I was leaning towards business casual, but thinking about it, a graduation ceremony at a place like that…probably needs to be a bit fancier. My friend's family is pretty high-profile in Hong Kong, so I don’t wanna mess that up. Dark suit it is. Thanks for the heads-up! I should of thought about it more carefully…

Most likely decorative, I'd guess. Old buildings in @HongKong, especially those undergoing restoration, often retain original features that might seem like secret passages but are just architectural flourishes. Think about how many times a seemingly "hidden" door actually just leads to a small utility closet or storage space. Doesn't diminish the charm, though. The mystery is part of the appeal. Your next trip... bring a good camera and maybe a slightly less romantic expectation. You'll still have a great time.

That's a really good point about the architectural flourishes. I hadn't considered that. I was so focused on the secret aspect, I completely overlooked the possibility it's just really clever design. A utility closet would be incredibly anticlimactic, haha. But yeah, the mystery is definitely part of the fun. Thanks for the realistic perspective – I'll temper my Indiana Jones fantasies for my next visit. A good camera's definitely a must though!
