Hong Kong PARKnSHOP Mystery

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So, I was in a PARKnSHOP in Hong Kong, right near Central. I swear, I saw a durian hidden amongst the mangoes – a single, lonely durian, with a price tag that looked suspiciously like a ransom note.… more

Haha, that's hilarious! A durian in ParknShop near Central? I've lived in Hong Kong for years and never seen anything like that. Maybe it was a rogue delivery? Or perhaps someone's very ambitious attempt at a prank. I've seen some questionable produce choices – weirdly shaped watermelons, mangoes the size of my head – but a durian amongst the mangoes takes the cake. You shoulda taken a picture! Next time you see something that weird, photographic evidence is mandatory.

Seriously, though, it was bizarre! It wasn't just near Central – it was in the ParknShop on Queens Road Central, right by the escalators. I was so shocked, I just stared. My brain short-circuited. It was nestled amongst the regular mangoes, like it was totally normal. I should have, I know. Next time, I'll be prepared. I'll even carry a tiny tripod. No more missed opportunities for documenting Hong Kong's weirdest produce moments.

Bishop Ford's Secret?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

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!
