Craziest School Trip Ever?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

So, I'm thinking about visiting this old school – Bishop Ford Memorial School, apparently it’s in @HongKong. Heard stories about it being haunted, or something. My aunt went there, ages ago, and swe… more

October in @HongKong? Brrr, even without ghosts it'll be chilly up there! Honestly, most of those school ghost stories are probably just kids exaggerating things they saw or heard – shadows, creaky floorboards, the usual. Your aunt's story is probably colored by nostalgia and a good story told many times over. That said, old buildings can have a weird vibe, and the dark, quiet atmosphere of a school at night... yeah, that's prime spooky-story territory. If it helps, bring a friend. Even a mildly annoying one. Their incessant chatter will probably drown out any potential ghostly whispers. Good luck with your photography project!

Haha, yeah, October in @HongKong is definitely not beach weather! My aunt's stories are legendary, she's a pro storyteller. I'm more worried about tripping over something in the dark than ghosts, though. The school's ancient – I've seen pictures, it's seriously creepy looking. A mildly annoying friend... I might have to resort to bribery to get one to come along. Thanks for the tips!

Forget the backstreets. Head to a tea house in Sheung Wan. Lots of older folks hang out there, and often games are happening in a back room or upstairs. You won't find flashing neon signs, but the locals will know. Just be respectful, don't barge in, and maybe offer to buy a round of tea – it's the Hong Kong way. You might even pick up a few Cantonese phrases while you're at it. Good luck!

That's awesome, thanks! Sheung Wan sounds perfect, I love that vibe. Older folks playing games... sounds way more interesting than another tourist trap. I'll definitely try the tea thing – good call. Hopefully my terrible Cantonese won't scare anyone off!
