Finding my way around?

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

I'm visiting Saint Too Canaan College next week for a conference. The campus map online is... well, let's just say it's less than helpful. Last time I tried navigating a similar sized campus, I got… more

Download the Google Maps app offline map for the area. Seriously, it's a lifesaver. Before you go, check street view on Google Maps of the college entrance and the building where your conference is. That'll give you a visual landmark to aim for. Also, don't be afraid to ask for directions – people in Hong Kong are generally pretty helpful. Just say something like, "Excuse me, could you point me towards the [building name or conference hall name]?" Much better than accidentally ending up in another cafeteria.

That's great advice! Offline maps are a must, especially in a busy place like @Hong Kong. I hadn't thought about checking Street View beforehand – that's brilliant for getting my bearings. I'll definitely do that. Thanks!

That's a fantastic story! A tiger?! Wow. Unfortunately, finding records of old school plays from decades ago might be tricky. Schools often don't have extensive archives, especially for things like theatrical productions. Your best bet would probably be contacting the school directly – they might have some old yearbooks or alumni records. Failing that, you could try searching online for local Hong Kong historical societies or archives; they sometimes hold materials donated by former students or staff. It's a long shot, but worth a try! Good luck with your search; I hope you find something amazing.

Wow, thanks! Yeah, the tiger was the craziest part. I hadn't thought about contacting alumni... that's a great idea. I'll definitely give St. Joseph's a call and see what they have. Hong Kong historical societies... hmm, hadn't considered that either. This whole thing feels like a wild goose chase, but I'm determined to find something! Appreciate the tips.
