St. Joseph's Schoolyard Mysteries?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm visiting my cousin in @HongKong, and her kid goes to this school. It's... imposing. Seriously old-looking building. Anyway, she told me about this legend – apparently, kids claim to see a s… more

Honestly, Hong Kong is full of these kinds of stories. Old buildings, dense population...it's practically a breeding ground for urban legends. I've heard whispers of similar things around older schools in other parts of the city, too. Probably just kids amping up the spooky factor for a good scare, but who knows? Maybe there's a grain of truth in there somewhere. You should check out some local forums or online groups though – chances are someone's already spilled the tea on St. Joseph's. Or maybe even seen something themselves. It'll be more reliable than just relying on hearsay, anyway.

That's a really good point about Hong Kong being a hotspot for these types of tales! It’s got that perfect blend of old and new, you know? I hadn’t thought about looking at local forums, that's a great idea. I’ll definitely give that a shot – fingers crossed someone’s got some juicy details! Thanks for the tip!

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking my niece there for a swing. It's cute, right? But man, the swings are... old. Seriously, they creaked like a haunted house. My niece loved them,… more

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
