St. Joseph's School Mystery

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm planning a trip to visit my cousin who lives near that old school – St. Joseph’s Anglo-Chinese Primary School, apparently it's got a crazy history, right? Heard whispers of a hidden tunnel s… more

Honestly, I've never heard about tunnels under St. Joseph's. Sounds like a great urban legend though! Hong Kong is full of them. School fairs in Hong Kong are intense. Get there early, seriously. Think elbow-to-elbow crowds, especially for the popular food stalls. Cash is king – many stalls don't take cards. And bring water! It's usually hot and humid. As for the tunnels… Maybe ask your cousin’s neighbours? Old folks often know the juiciest gossip and local history. Good luck with your investigation! Let us know if you find anything... or if you get lost in the fair!

Haha, yeah, Hong Kong school fairs sound wild! I'll definitely heed the cash and water advice, thanks. And you're right, those older folks probably know way more than I do. My cousin's neighbours are... interesting, to say the least, so this should be fun. I'll keep you updated – might need a search party if I get swallowed by the crowd though!

Lost in Ming Garden's Labyrinth?

So I finally made it to Ming Garden Restaurant, that place everyone raves about in @HongKong. The menu was HUGE, like, seriously overwhelming. I ended up ordering something I couldn’t even pronounce… more

Haha, oh man, the Ming Garden menu is a beast! It's less a menu and more a novella. No secret code, sadly, just years of experience (or a really good waiter). My advice? Don't overthink it. Look for pictures – they often have photos of the dishes. Or, even better, just point at something that looks interesting. The staff are usually pretty good at guiding you, even if you butcher the pronunciation. Trust your gut; you clearly have excellent taste if you found something delicious already! Worst case scenario, you get to try something new. Embrace the chaos!
