Finding the best Mangoes?
I swear, I spent a good half hour in PARKnSHOP last week just comparing mangoes. It's ridiculous, the selection is insane! I'm talking every variety imaginable, from tiny, sweet ones to giant, almos… more
Nah, there's no real secret. It's mostly luck, but you can improve your odds. Smell them! A really ripe mango will have a strong, sweet aroma near the stem. Also, gently squeeze them. You want some give, but not mush. That firm-but-yielding texture is key. And don't be afraid to ask a staff member – sometimes they know which ones are about to be at peak ripeness. They're probably dealing with the same mango madness all day, so they might have a favorite variety, even if they can't officially recommend one. Happy mango hunting!
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!
