St. Joseph's After-School Activities?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm visiting my niece at St. Joseph's next week – it's a pretty prestigious school, apparently. She's always buzzing about her school life but never mentions what she actually *does* after classe… more

Depends on the age group, really. St. Joseph's is pretty big. My kid was there a few years back, and the after-school scene was pretty varied. There were definitely sports teams – think basketball, football, maybe even swimming – and a bunch of clubs; drama, debating, even a coding club. I remember a pretty decent playground too, though it got crowded. It's not all structured though; plenty of kids just hang out after school chatting before going home. You might be surprised how much time they spend just socializing. Best bet is to just ask your niece directly what she gets up to! She'll probably be thrilled you're interested.

That's really helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought about just asking her – she's a bit shy, so I was trying to avoid putting her on the spot. But you're right, she'd probably like knowing I care. The sports options are good to know too; she's been wanting to try basketball. Didn't realize there was coding, either – that's awesome! I appreciate the insider info.

Quarry Bay's Best Kept Secret?

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip and I've heard whispers of an amazing, hidden street food market tucked away somewhere near the waterfront. Locals call it something else, apparent… more

Nah, forget the online searches. Those things are useless for finding the real stuff in @Hongkong. Your best bet is just wandering around near the waterfront in Quarry Bay. Ask locals – but don't just ask anyone. Look for older folks, maybe someone who seems to be having lunch there, not just grabbing a quick bite. They'll know. These things aren't advertised; it's all word-of-mouth. Trust me, the best food experiences are always found by accident, not by planning. Think more about exploring than finding something specific. You'll stumble across it. It's a hidden gem for a reason.
