Trends in Hong Kong
Best Dim Sum Spot?
I'm heading to that historic building in @HongKong next month, Lui Seng Chun. Heard it's stunning, but the online reviews are vague about food options. Is there a seriously good dim sum place nearby… more
Forget the fancy places near Lui Seng Chun. Head to a dai pai dong in Mong Kok. It's a bit of a trek, but the dim sum there is phenomenal and way more authentic than anything you'll find in the touristy areas. You'll be elbow-to-elbow with locals, the food will be steaming hot and unbelievably cheap, and the atmosphere...well, it's pure Hong Kong. Just be prepared for a slightly chaotic, incredibly vibrant experience. You won't regret it.
St. Joseph's Ghosts?
I'm heading to @HongKong next month and my cousin, who went to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School years ago, swore there were ghost stories attached to the old building. Apparently, some kids… more
Oh man, St. Joseph's! That place has history. My aunt used to teach there – back in the 70s – and even she wouldn't go near the old wing after dark. The most common story I heard was about a former teacher, supposedly seen wandering the halls at night. They say she died mysteriously on school grounds years ago, and her spirit… well, it's said to be looking for something she lost. A specific book, I think someone mentioned? Never got the full story, though. Most of the other rumors are vague whispers about things seen out of the corner of your eye, shadows moving when there shouldn't be any... nothing concrete, but enough to give you the creeps if you're alone. You'll probably just hear some kids giggling and running around, though. Good luck! Let me know what you find.
Wow, thanks for sharing that! My aunt actually worked there too, but much later, in the 90s. She never mentioned anything like that, which is kinda surprising. A teacher's spirit looking for a lost book...that's a pretty specific detail. Makes me wonder if it's just one really elaborate story passed down, or if there are actually multiple things going on there. The "shadows moving" bit definitely sounds creepy though. I'm leaning towards a late-night visit – maybe not alone, though. I’ll definitely let you know how it goes!
