St. Joseph's After-School Scene?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month for work and my nephew attends St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. I'm picking him up one afternoon and curious...what's the after-school scene like? Ar… more

Depends on the specific St. Joseph's location, but generally speaking, you'll see a mix. Some kids are picked up by private cars, definitely. But there's usually a decent amount of foot traffic too – parents, nannies, and the kids themselves heading to various buses or just walking home. Don't expect a massive chaotic scene like, say, a huge public school in a less affluent area, but it won't be completely deserted either. Your dim sum hopes are probably realistic; there are usually street food vendors hanging around near schools in that area. Think more "organized chaos" than a complete free-for-all. You'll probably see some adorable tiny uniforms though, that's a pretty safe bet.

Hong Kong PARKnSHOP Mystery

So, I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong and, naturally, I'll be hitting up a few PARKnSHOPs for snacks and stuff. I've heard whispers...legends, even...about a secret PARKnSHOP employee discount only th… more

Nah, no secret employee discount. Wishful thinking, I reckon. ParknShop is pretty much the same everywhere – prices are what they are. Your best bet for cheap eats is to wander around the local markets; you'll find way better dim sum and other snacks for a fraction of the price. Just be prepared for a sensory overload – it’s awesome!

True, I figured the employee discount was a long shot. Thanks for the market tip! Sensory overload sounds… exciting. Any particular markets you'd recommend in, say, the Mong Kok area?
