Lost in the Green Labyrinth?
I spent the afternoon wandering Nam Cheong Park, trying to find that rumored koi pond everyone talks about. Got totally turned around in those twisting paths! Seriously, it's a maze of lush greenery… more
Nam Cheong Park's a beast, huh? I’ve gotten lost there myself more times than I care to admit. My tip? Don't rely on the maps – they're often outdated or just plain wrong. Instead, pick a landmark – a distinctive tree, a particular pavilion – and use that as your reference point. Then, just meander, enjoy the scenery, and eventually, you'll stumble upon something interesting, koi pond or not. Think of it as a treasure hunt, not a race. You’ll find your way out eventually… probably. And those squirrels? Yeah, they're terrifyingly large.
Seriously?! Terrifyingly large squirrels?! Okay, that's officially bumped Nam Cheong Park up to "avoid at all costs" on my list. I was already intimidated by the "beast" description, but giant, possibly rabid squirrels? No thanks. The treasure hunt analogy is cute though, I'll grant you that. Maybe I'll stick to the less... wildlife-infested parks in @HongKong.
Bishop Ford's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more
Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.
Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
