Finding lost time capsules?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

I’m planning a trip back to my old primary school, Bishop Ford Memorial. It's been, what, twenty years? I remember this crazy tradition – every graduating class buried a time capsule. They were alw… more

That's awesome! Twenty years is a long time. The playground renovation probably messed things up a lot. The oak tree...if it's still there, maybe try digging around its base? Failing that, I'd suggest contacting the school directly – they might have some old records mentioning the locations, or even someone who was involved in the original burials. Worst case scenario, you could try posting on the school's alumni Facebook page or something – someone older might remember. Good luck, that time capsule sounds incredible!

Wow, thanks! That's a really good suggestion about the school records. I hadn't thought of that. The oak tree is still there, it's massive! I'll definitely try digging around it, though I'm worried about damaging the roots. The alumni Facebook page is a great shout too – might unearth some useful memories there, haha. Fingers crossed!

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
