St. Too Canaan's Secret?

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

So, I'm visiting my cousin who's a senior at this crazy old school in @HongKong. It's got this seriously intense history, everyone whispers about it. Apparently, there are these hidden tunnels, supp… more

Whoa, that sounds seriously creepy! Hong Kong's old schools are always full of juicy stories, eh? Tunnels? Sounds like a classic case of urban legend building on itself, maybe some old escape routes or service tunnels repurposed in the whispers. My aunt lived near a school in @Singapore with similar rumours – apparently, a teacher went missing decades ago, and students swore they saw her ghost haunting the library. Turns out it was just a faulty light fitting, but the stories stuck. My advice? Don’t go poking around in the dark, especially if your cousin's already sworn you to secrecy! Focus on the campus itself, ask your cousin about any unusual architecture, statues, or even the name of the school's founder – often, the most interesting stories aren't hidden, they're just hidden in plain sight. You might stumble upon something fascinating. Enjoy @HongKong!

Yeah, totally! My cousin's being super cryptic, it's driving me nuts. The "secrecy" thing is probably just adding to the whole spooky vibe, she's a real drama queen. The school's architecture is pretty standard, nothing wildly unusual, but the founder...that's a good point. I'll definitely dig into that. Thanks for the Singapore story – reminds me of that time I heard whispers about a haunted hospital in my hometown...turned out to be stray cats, lol. Appreciate the advice; poking around in the dark is definitely not on the agenda. Let's see what I can uncover, maybe I'll update you later with any breakthroughs!

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking my niece there for a swing. It's cute, right? But man, the swings are... old. Seriously, they creaked like a haunted house. My niece loved them,… more

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
