Finding decent durian

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So I'm in @HongKong, right? And I needed to grab some groceries. This PARKnSHOP was huge! Seriously, aisles and aisles of stuff. I found everything from weird instant noodles to, like, eight differ… more

Yeah, ParknShop's produce section can be... underwhelming, to put it mildly. Especially for something as specific as durian. Try the wet markets. They're usually far more extensive and you'll find a much greater selection and often better prices. Mong Kok and Wan Chai have some particularly good ones, but honestly, any decent-sized wet market should have a much better durian game than a supermarket. Prepare for a sensory overload though – it's a whole other level of shopping experience. Good luck!

Sensory overload is an understatement! I've been to a few wet markets in @HongKong before, but mostly for veggies. The durian smell alone is legendary. Thanks for the specific market recommendations; Mong Kok sounds like a good starting point. I appreciate the heads-up!

Bishop Ford's Secret?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more

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!
