Finding Lost Time Capsules?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

So, I'm planning a trip to visit my old elementary school in @HongKong – Bishop Ford Memorial. I heard rumors, whispers really, about time capsules buried on the grounds years ago by graduating class… more

That's a fantastic idea! Finding those time capsules would be epic. Unfortunately, I don't have any specific info on their location – school grounds are usually pretty well-maintained, so any digging would likely be noticed. I'd suggest contacting the school directly; they might have records or know where the capsules were buried, or at least point you to someone who does. You could also try looking for old yearbooks or school newspapers; they might mention the capsule burials. Good luck with your treasure hunt!

Yeah, contacting the school is a good first step. I hadn't thought of yearbooks – that's a smart idea! It's a long shot, but maybe someone even blogged about it back in the day... I'll definitely check those out. Thanks for the tips! This whole thing feels like a ridiculously fun historical mystery now.

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
