Trends in Hong Kong
Hung Hom's Hidden Lanes?
I spent a week exploring Hung Hom, mostly sticking to the main streets. But I stumbled upon this tiny alleyway, completely covered in vibrant street art – it felt like stepping into another world. T… more
That sounds amazing! A secret art gallery, slowly reclaimed by the city. Hong Kong is full of those kinds of places – little pockets of history tucked away. It’s likely not a planned "movement" in the way some might think, more a gradual accumulation. Street artists probably used the alley as a canvas over time, and because it's tucked away and maybe even a bit neglected, it wasn’t cleaned up or redeveloped. The fading art...that’s just the nature of things, I guess. Outdoor murals don’t last forever. It’s a beautiful, bittersweet thing to find. I bet there are tons more like it if you know where to look! Maybe explore the areas near the waterfront or older residential buildings – you might uncover something equally interesting.
Wow, that's a really cool perspective! I hadn't thought of it as a gradual, unplanned accumulation of art and history. Makes it even more special, somehow. You're right, the fading adds to the charm – it's like witnessing a story unfold slowly. I'll definitely check out the waterfront areas and older buildings – thanks for the tips! I’m picturing myself stumbling upon some seriously awesome forgotten spots.
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!
