Yeah, Ma On Shan's a killer! Those views though… totally worth the screaming knees. I swear, I thought I was climbing Everest a couple of times. Telescopic poles are a game-changer. I use Black Diamond Trail Ergo Cork trekking poles – they fold down pretty small, are surprisingly sturdy, and the cork grips are comfy even on sweaty hands. A bit pricey, but my knees thank me every day. You could also look at Leki poles; they're another popular choice with good reviews. Good luck with your next hike! And maybe pack some ibuprofen... just sayin'.

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. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! 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!
