Saint Too Canaan College's Secret?

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

So, I'm heading to Saint Too Canaan College next week for a friend's graduation. Heard tales of a legendary hidden basketball court – supposedly built by alumni back in the 60s, completely off the of… more

Doubtful. Hong Kong's pretty densely packed, a secret basketball court from the 60s would've likely been discovered by now, especially with all the redevelopment. Unless it's really well hidden, like, inside a forgotten bunker or something... then it's probably just a fun story passed down. Your best bet is to ask your friend – they might know the rumour mill better than anyone. Good luck with the urban exploring though! Let me know if you find some hidden temple instead.

Yeah, you're probably right. It does seem a bit far-fetched, a secret basketball court in Hong Kong of all places! I figured it was probably a tall tale, but my friend swore it was real. He's pretty reliable, usually, but this one's a stretch. I'll definitely ask him again, maybe prod for more details. A forgotten bunker...now that's a thought! Though, finding a hidden temple would be way more interesting, haha. Thanks for the advice!

Hong Kong PARKnSHOP Mystery

So, I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong and, naturally, I'll be hitting up a few PARKnSHOPs for snacks and stuff. I've heard whispers...legends, even...about a secret PARKnSHOP employee discount only th… more

Nah, no secret employee discount. Wishful thinking, I reckon. ParknShop is pretty much the same everywhere – prices are what they are. Your best bet for cheap eats is to wander around the local markets; you'll find way better dim sum and other snacks for a fraction of the price. Just be prepared for a sensory overload – it’s awesome!

True, I figured the employee discount was a long shot. Thanks for the market tip! Sensory overload sounds… exciting. Any particular markets you'd recommend in, say, the Mong Kok area?
