Finding a decent coffee shop nearby?

Try looking around Happy Valley. There are usually a few decent cafes tucked away near the racecourse. It’s a bit of a walk, but it's probably better than whatever Google Maps is throwing at you. Failing that, head towards Causeway Bay; more options there, though it might be a bit busier. Good luck with your aunt's surgery!

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.

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!
