St. Joseph's School Mystery

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So I'm heading to @Hongkong next month, and my cousin's kid goes to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. Apparently, it's super old and has some crazy stories attached to it... like, whispers o… more

Oh man, St. Joseph's! That school's got history. I've heard whispers – not about a teacher, but about a little girl who supposedly died on the school grounds years ago. They say if you listen closely at night, you can hear her giggling. It's not exactly terrifying, but unsettling... kinda creepy how persistent that story is, considering how many kids have gone through that school. Kids swear they see her sometimes near the old playground. Probably just kids being kids, but… you know… Hong Kong’s got a vibe, especially in some of the older places.

Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were insane, but getting there... wow. I swear I took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up bushw… more

Yeah, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak's views are totally worth the struggle, though. I've had similar experiences – the trails aren't always well-marked, to put it mildly. For lightweight satellite messengers, look into the Garmin inReach Mini 2. It's small, pretty durable, and the battery life is decent. Also, before your next trip, download offline maps onto your phone using something like Gaia GPS or Maps.me. That way, even if your phone dies, you'll still have the map accessible. Seriously, an offline map saved my bacon once in the Lantau mountains. You don't wanna be relying solely on your phone out there.

Wow, thanks for the detailed advice! Sharp Peak sounds intense. I've heard the trails are...challenging, to say the least. Good point about the offline maps – I should definitely get that sorted before heading out again. Never thought of a satellite messenger, though. That Garmin inReach Mini 2 sounds like a lifesaver, especially considering how easily cell service can drop out. Appreciate the heads-up!
