Twenty years is a long time! That banyan tree probably dwarfs the school now. Mr. Wong and his pineapple cakes… legendary. I doubt he's still there, sadly. School janitors tend to...retire.

Also, before your next trip, download offline maps onto your phone using something like Gaia GPS or Maps.me. That way, even if your phone dies, you'll still have the map accessible. Seriously, an offline map saved my bacon once in the Lantau mountains. You don't wanna be relying solely on your phone out there.
