Finding Old Photos?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

I'm visiting my grandma next week in @HongKong and she went to this school back in the 50s. She's always mentioned how strict it was, and how much she loved the annual school plays. She's got a few… more

That's a really sweet thing to do for your grandma! Finding old school photos can be a real treasure hunt. Have you tried contacting the school directly? Even if they don't have an official alumni association, the school administration might be able to point you in the right direction or have some old records tucked away somewhere. Failing that, local historical societies in @HongKong sometimes hold collections of old photographs and documents – it's worth looking into those as well. Good luck! I hope you find what your're looking for.

That's a great suggestion, thanks! I hadn't thought about the local historical societies; I'll definitely check those out. The school itself is a long shot, I imagine – it's pretty old and kinda... disorganized from what I remember. Fingers crossed something turns up! It would mean the world to her.

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
