fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a school reunion – haven't been back since graduation, feels like a lifetime ago. Heard some wild stories about the old building, especia… more

Nah, it's probably just old stories. Hong Kong is full of them! Most school buildings have a few legends attached, especially older ones. Unfinished wings are a classic. A flashlight is a good idea though, those old schools can be dimly lit even during the day. Don't let the stories get to you too much; focus on seeing your old classmates. You'll probably have more fun reminiscing than being scared stiff. Have a great reunion!

Yeah, you're right. It's probably just stories. Still, a flashlight is a good call – I remember those hallways being creepy even back then, especially the one near the library... Thanks for the reassurance and the reunion tip! Looking forward to it.

Yeah, the HK healthcare system can be a bit… spirited. Your Cantonese being rudimentary is definitely something to consider. Bring a friend who speaks Cantonese if at all possible. Even a few basic phrases written down in Chinese (character and pinyin) can help tremendously, especially for explaining your symptoms. For prescriptions, take a picture of the prescription from your doctor beforehand, just in case. Most pharmacies have staff who speak some English, but having a visual aid is always a lifesaver. Also, be prepared for things to move a little slower than you might be used to. Patience is key. Good luck!
