St. Joseph's Schoolyard Mystery?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm visiting @HongKong next month and my niece goes to St. Joseph's. I heard tales of a legendary playground game, something about a hidden statue and a coded message? Anyone know anything about… more

Whoa, that's a seriously cool story! St. Joseph's, huh? I've lived in @HongKong my whole life and never heard that one before. Sounds like something you'd find in a local folklore book, not just a playground legend. Maybe try asking some older alumni? Their Facebook groups might be a goldmine. Or even better, hit up some of the older residents around the school itself; they might have some juicy gossip. Good luck with your detective work! Let me know what you uncover... I'm hooked now.

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.
