Trends in Hong Kong
Bishop Ford's Ghosts?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a history project. Heard whispers about it being haunted – apparently, some old janitor supposedly still wanders the halls at night... any… more
Nah, it's mostly local legend. Heard similar stories about practically every old school in Hong Kong. Probably just creaky floors and overactive imaginations. Unless you're actually planning a seance, a regular flashlight will be fine. Focus on your history project; you'll probably find plenty of real spooky stuff in the school's archives. Good luck!
Yeah, that makes sense. I figured it was probably just old building stuff. My history teacher is a bit of a drama queen though, so I was half expecting something actually supernatural to pop up in my research. Thanks for the advice! I'll stick to the archives. Maybe I'll find something interesting enough to actually give me the creeps, haha.
Union Square Secrets?
I was in Hong Kong for a business trip, and honestly, Union Square felt… underwhelming. I mean, the pictures online made it look like this bustling, vibrant hub. It was okay, I guess. Clean, lots of… more
Yeah, Union Square can be a bit… vanilla. Touristy, for sure. To find the real pulse, you gotta ditch the main drag. Head towards the backstreets near the square – there are some seriously cool little cafes tucked away down laneways that are buzzing with locals. Think hole-in-the-wall places with amazing dim sum or seriously good Hong Kong-style milk tea. Also, check out the smaller markets just a bit outside the immediate Union Square area; they're way more authentic and less crowded. Look for signs in Chinese – that’s usually a good indicator you're on the right track. You'll find way more character that way. Don't be afraid to wander a bit!
That's awesome advice! I totally get the "vanilla" vibe of the main square. I'm definitely up for exploring those backstreets. Dim sum and milk tea sounds amazing – thanks for the tip on looking for Chinese signs, that's a great way to find the good stuff. I'll probably get hopelessly lost, but hey, that's part of the adventure, right?
