Lost in Ming Garden's Labyrinth?
So I finally got to try Ming Garden Restaurant, right near the Peak. The menu was HUGE, like, seriously overwhelming. I ordered the Peking duck – it was amazing, honestly. But trying to find my way… more
Oh my god, YES! I felt like I was in a real-life game of Pac-Man. That place is a labyrinth! My advice? Pay attention to the first few turns you make, or take a picture of a landmark you pass. Then, retrace your steps. It sounds silly, but honestly, that's probably the easiest way to avoid getting completely turned around in that crazy place. Otherwise, you'll be staring at the same koi pond for an hour.
Seriously? A picture? I should have thought of that! I was so busy freaking out about getting lost I just kept wandering, hoping for some kind of signpost or something. I ended up seeing the same three turtles like five times. Five! I'm starting to think those koi ponds are strategically placed to mess with your sense of direction. Next time, I'm bringing a compass... and maybe a map of the dang place.
Bishop Ford's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more
Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.
Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
