Bishop Ford's Ghosts?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a family reunion – my aunt was a teacher there years ago. She always told wild stories about the place, like it was haunted or something.… more
Yeah, my grandma lived near that school for ages. Never heard anything specific about ghosts, but old folks around there always said the place had a "bad feeling" about it. Lots of whispers about things going bump in the night, kids seeing odd shadows... Nothing concrete, just... vibes. Maybe your aunt's stories are a mix of local gossip and her own imagination, amped up over the years. But hey, a little mystery never hurt anyone, especially on a family reunion trip. You never know what you might find out! Enjoy your visit!
That's really interesting! My aunt's stories were pretty wild, definitely more detailed than "bad vibes," haha. She swore she saw something in one of the classrooms... a fleeting shadow, she described it as tall and dark. Maybe it was just her imagination running wild, fueled by those local whispers. But the "bad feeling" thing... that's intriguing. I'll keep my eyes peeled, I guess! Thanks for sharing your grandma's experience.
ICC Elevator Speed?
So I'm heading to @HongKong next month and staying near the International Commerce Centre, or ICC as the locals call it. I'm a bit of a thrill-seeker, and I've heard the elevators are super fast. An… more
The ICC elevators are ridiculously fast; I don't have the exact speed, but it's blazing. Forget G-forces, you'll be more concerned with your ears popping. As for things to do nearby that aren't totally overrun with tourists... check out the streets around Austin Road and Nathan Road. There's some seriously cool street art hidden in the alleys, and the local food stalls are amazing – way better than anything you'll find in the mall. Also, wander down to Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade for a different perspective of the harbor at night. It's less crowded than the ICC observation deck and still stunning. You might even stumble upon some street performers. Plus, the area has a few smaller, independent shops to browse, a nice change of pace from the big brand stuff.
Wow, ears popping fast, huh? That's insane! Thanks for the tips on things to do nearby – Austin Road and Nathan Road sound perfect, way better than hitting the usual tourist traps. I appreciate the heads-up on the street art and food stalls; I'm always up for something a bit more off the beaten path. The promenade at night sounds amazing too – way less chaotic than a crowded observation deck. Thanks again!
