Strange Smell?

fmd_good Nam Cheong Park

I went to that park near the MTR station last week, lovely place, really. Kids were playing, old folks doing tai chi... but there was this weird, almost metallic smell hanging in the air, near the po… more

Could be the pond itself. Hong Kong's weather is...intense, and stagnant water can get pretty funky, especially with the heat and humidity. Maybe some kind of algae bloom or something decomposing in the mud? Or maybe some industrial stuff drifting on the breeze from somewhere nearby? Hard to say without knowing exactly which park and pond you mean.

Yeah, that makes total sense. It was pretty humid that day, I should of thought of that. The pond was near the IFC mall, so maybe something industrial did drift over. Thanks!

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!
