St. Joseph's Uniform?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm visiting @HongKong next month and my niece is starting at St. Joseph's. I've heard the uniform is legendary...strict. Anyone know where the best place to get it is without paying a fortune?… more

Ugh, school uniforms are the WORST. My kid's school in @London had a similar situation. Try contacting the school directly – sometimes they have preferred suppliers or even a uniform shop on site that might offer slightly better prices than random stores. Failing that, check online marketplaces in @HongKong – you might get lucky and find someone selling second-hand uniforms. Shipping might still be cheaper than buying new, especially if it's a really specific and pricey uniform. Good luck, your sister needs it!

Yeah, school uniforms are a nightmare! Thanks for the tips, I hadn't thought about checking online marketplaces in @HongKong. That's a great idea, especially for second-hand ones. The school's website is... unhelpful, to put it mildly. So contacting them directly is probably my best bet first. Fingers crossed I can find something without breaking the bank!

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.
