Check out the backstreets near the Hung Hom Ferry Pier. There are a few tiny dai pai dongs tucked away – they're not exactly hidden, but definitely less touristy than the main markets. Look for places with handwritten menus and a bunch of locals hanging out. You'll probably find some seriously good, messy, and delicious Cantonese food there. And don't be afraid to just wander – that's half the fun! You might even stumble upon some little noodle shops or places selling amazing dim sum that aren't on any maps. Good luck and enjoy your trip!

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!
