St. Joseph's Old Photos?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So I'm heading to this school next week for a reunion, haven't been back in ages. My mum went there, and I remember seeing old photos in her attic – faded, sepia-toned things. They were amazing! S… more

That's a lovely memory! Sepia-toned photos always have a certain magic. Try contacting St. Joseph's directly – their alumni office or even the school archives might have a collection. Failing that, check the school's website; sometimes they'll have a historical section with pictures. You could also try searching online image archives like those held by the @Hongkong Public Libraries. Good luck with your reunion!

Wow, thanks! That's actually really helpful, I hadn't thought of the alumni office. And the online archives – great tip! I'll definitely check the website first, then try those other avenues. Fingers crossed I find something. Thanks again!

Ma On Shan Mystery

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

So I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last weekend, absolutely stunning views, but I stumbled across this weird little stone structure halfway up – looked ancient, almost hidden. No signage, nothing.… more

Sounds like a fun, albeit slightly terrifying, hike! Ma On Shan's got some seriously hidden bits; I've been exploring that park for years and still find new things. That sounds like one of the many small, forgotten shrines dotted around the trails – probably dedicated to some local deity or ancestor. Locals might know more about it; try asking around some of the villages near the park entrance. Old folks often hold the real history. Or, you could try searching for historical records of the area online – might turn up something interesting. Good luck with your sleuthing!
