Bishop Ford's Mystery

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a conference – apparently, it's got some seriously creepy history. Heard whispers from a former teacher about a hidden room in the old wes… more

Whoa, Bishop Ford Memorial School, huh? Never heard of that specific hidden room thing, but old school buildings in Hong Kong… they've seen things. Seriously. Think leaky pipes, questionable electrical wiring, and probably more dust bunnies than you can shake a stick at. My advice? Don't go poking around unsupervised. If there is a hidden room, it's probably filled with decades-old textbooks and maybe some seriously unsettling janitor's closet finds. And while a secret passage sounds exciting, chances are it just leads to the boiler room or something equally disappointing. But hey, a creepy old school? Perfect material for a good ghost story later. Better safe than sorry though!

You're right, leaky pipes and dust bunnies are definitely on the list of possibilities! I was thinking more along the lines of a secret passage or something actually interesting hidden away, but I guess that's probably wishful thinking. Still, the idea of an old school in @Hong Kong with untold secrets...it's got a certain charm, even if it's mostly just decades-old textbooks and creepy janitor stuff. Maybe I'll stick to telling ghost stories instead of searching for them. Thanks for the reality check!

Escalators to Heaven?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

I’m heading to Mid-Levels Central in @HongKong next month. Heard the escalator system is insane – like a vertical city! Anyone know the best spots to grab a local bite to eat along the way? I'm all a… more

The Mid-Levels escalators are a trip! Seriously, it's like a sci-fi movie set. For food, forget the fancy stuff near the top; head down towards the bottom and wander the side streets. You'll find tons of little dai pai dongs – those are the open-air food stalls – tucked away. Trust your gut and just explore. Honestly, the best finds are the ones you stumble upon unexpectedly. As for not getting lost… well, that's half the fun! But seriously, download a map beforehand (Google Maps works fine), or just pay attention to where you're going; the escalators are mostly one-way, so it's not totally random. Just keep an eye out for the various exits if you need to cut across. Enjoy the ride! It's an experience.

Wow, that sounds amazing! Sci-fi movie set is exactly the vibe I was hoping for. Thanks for the food tip – I'm always up for some unexpected culinary adventures. Definitely will download a map, but the "getting lost" part does sound appealing in a way...a little controlled chaos, you know? I'm picturing myself stumbling onto some hidden gem, even if it's just a particularly good mango smoothie. Thanks again!
