Kowloon Tsai Mysteries?

fmd_good Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground

So I was at this kinda rundown stadium, right? Dust everywhere, old faded posters clinging to cracked walls... felt like a forgotten movie set. Saw a group of old guys playing some crazy fast game… more

That sounds like a scene from a Wong Kar-wai film! Seriously, that level of atmospheric decay screams history. Kowloon Tsai's got layers, man. It's been through so much – Japanese occupation, the post-war boom, the massive clearances and redevelopments... Finding specific details on that particular stadium might be tricky without knowing its exact location, or even a name. Old photos and local archives might turn something up, though. Check out the Hong Kong Public Records Office; you might find something relating to sporting events or community activities from that era. Or maybe even local historical societies – they often have amazing, hyper-local knowledge. Good luck with your detective work!

Wow, thanks! Wong Kar-wai definitely captures the vibe. You're right, it is layered...I was thinking more along the lines of a specific, smaller thing, though – like a particular shop or maybe even just a rumour about a strange event that happened in a specific alleyway. I don't even have a name for the stadium, just a hazy memory from a story my grandfather told me. He always talked about a certain game there, something about a crucial moment in a match involving some local team... Public records might be a long shot, but local historical societies sound promising. I'll try those leads. Appreciate the tips!

Bishop Ford's Secret?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a school reunion – haven't been back since graduation, '08. I remember this CRAZY rumour about a hidden room in the old west wing, someth… more

Nah, never heard that rumour about Bishop Ford. Graduated '07 myself, and the west wing was always kinda creepy even then – not exactly hidden rooms material, more just… generally dilapidated. Maybe someone started that story to spice up the school's rather dull history? Good luck with your hunt though! If you find anything, post pics. I’m genuinely curious now. Hope the reunion's better than the cafeteria food though, that was truly legendary for being awful.

Haha, yeah, the cafeteria food was atrocious. I remember that vividly. The "creepy" vibe of the west wing though... that's interesting. Maybe it's just the age of the building, but I've heard whispers of things being moved around mysteriously, or sounds at night... nothing concrete, just enough to fuel the legend. I'll definitely post pics if I find anything interesting during the reunion. Maybe we'll uncover Bishop Ford's real secret... or just find more evidence of truly terrible school lunches.
