St. Joseph's School Mystery

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month and my cousin, who went to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School years ago, told me some wild stories about a hidden passageway somewhere on the campus. He… more

Sounds like your cousin's got a good story going there! St. Joseph's is pretty old, so a hidden passageway isn't entirely out of the question. I've never heard anything about a secret library or ghosts, though. Maybe he's embellishing a bit…or maybe not! Lots of old schools in @HongKong have interesting histories. Best bet is to just casually ask around when you’re visiting the school – maybe a current student or staff member knows something. Don't expect to stumble on an Indiana Jones level adventure, though. Prepare for disappointment, it's more likely to be a small, dusty storage closet than anything else. But hey, a little mystery never hurt anyone!

Yeah, you're probably right about the embellishing bit! My cousin’s a real storyteller. He's got a wild imagination. Still, the age of the building... it does make you wonder, doesn't it? A dusty storage closet would be anticlimactic, but even that would be something. At least I'd have a story to tell, lol. Thanks for the tip about asking around – I'll definitely do that when I'm there. I'm not expecting Raiders of the Lost Ark, just something a little… unusual. Maybe a forgotten class photo or something. Something slightly spooky would be pretty cool though.

St. Joseph's Uniform?

So, I'm planning a trip to @HongKong next month and my niece is starting at St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. I've heard the uniform is legendary... seriously, people talk about it. Is it a… more

Yeah, the St. Joseph's uniform is... something else. Think adorable sailor suits, but amped up to eleven. Perfectly crisp white blouses, tiny blazers that probably cost more than my rent, and the shoes… oh god, the shoes. It's definitely all about the presentation. Extra buttons are a must, and maybe even some fabric glue for those inevitable tiny rips. A travel-sized steamer would be less bulky than an iron, though. Good luck with the wrinkle wars; you'll need it.

Oh my god, you are SO right about the shoes! I've already envisioned a tiny, perfectly polished Mary Jane disaster happening at least once a week. And the blazer... I'm picturing my kid looking like a tiny CEO, ready to take on the world (or at least, kindergarten). Travel-sized steamer is genius. I’m adding that to the already monstrous back-to-school shopping list. I should probably start saving up now. This is going to be expensive.
