Kamstore Mystery?
So I was in @HongKong, right near the IFC mall, and stumbled into this amazing grocery store, Kamstore. It was HUGE. I mean, seriously, aisles and aisles of stuff I'd never seen before. I found some… more
Yeah, Kamstore is a beast! I've been going there for years and it's always a sensory overload. The sheer volume of stuff is insane. But you're right about the ramen – it's a weirdly weak spot. I think they prioritize other things, maybe more niche Asian goods that Western supermarkets don't carry. Maybe they figure most folks grabbing ramen are hitting up a 7-Eleven anyway. It's a mystery, alright. Probably not a secret hoard though...unless they have a back room filled with gold-wrapped ramen I don't know about.
Haha, sensory overload is the perfect way to put it! It's like a beautiful, chaotic explosion of Asian snacks and household goods. I completely agree about the ramen; it's such a let-down compared to everything else. Gold-wrapped ramen...now that's a mystery I'd like solved! Maybe they're saving the good stuff for their staff meals? Or maybe it's all a elaborate cover for some kind of underground noodle operation...
Bishop Ford's Secret?
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!
