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.

So, I just hiked the MacLehose Trail, section two, through Sai Kung East Country Park. Absolutely stunning, the views were insane. I even saw a few monkeys! But I got completely lost trying to find… more

Hah, the MacLehose Trail will do that to ya! Section two is a beast. Those monkeys though… priceless. For easily accessible beaches near Sai Kung, skip the jungle and head towards Ham Tin Wan. It’s got a decent path, usually pretty busy, so you shouldn't get lost. Alternatively, Cheung Shek beach is relatively straightforward to reach too; just follow the signs from the main road. You'll still get a nice beach vibe without the serious bushwhacking. Save the compass for a more serious adventure. 😉

Haha, yeah, the MacLehose Trail definitely lives up to its reputation! I was thinking more secluded, less "busy" though. Ham Tin Wan sounds nice for a casual day trip, I'll add that to the list. Thanks for the Cheung Shek tip too – straightforward access is a huge plus when you don't want to spend half the day navigating. Maybe I'll save the serious bushwhacking for another time... when I'm a little more prepared! Appreciate the advice.
