Union Square Mystery?
So I'm heading to Union Square in a couple of weeks, buzzing to finally check out that crazy mix of high-end shops and street food. Heard it's a total sensory overload, which is exactly what I'm afte… more
Off the beaten track coffee in Union Square? Tough one, that area's pretty much all buzz. But try sneaking down into the backstreets around Wellington Street – there are some smaller, less flashy places tucked away there. It's a gamble, you might stumble on a hole-in-the-wall with amazing coffee and that old Hong Kong feel you’re after, or you might just find a laundromat. Worth a shot though, it’s part of the adventure. Good luck!
That's actually a great suggestion! Wellington Street, huh? I hadn't even considered those side streets. A laundromat wouldn't exactly ruin my day though, at least it'd be an interesting story to tell. I'm all about that "part of the adventure" aspect. Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely check it out. Fingers crossed for amazing coffee and old Hong Kong vibes.
Bishop Ford's Ghosts?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School in a few weeks for a photography project. I've heard whispers... urban legends, you know? Apparently, it's got a bit of a spooky reputation. My great… more
Honestly? I've never heard anything that crazy about Bishop Ford. Most of the spooky stories around old schools in Hong Kong are about mischievous spirits, not full-blown ghost sightings. Flickering lights? Probably just faulty wiring or some kid messing around. Though, I did hear a story once about a janitor who swore he heard kids playing basketball in the deserted gym at night...but he also had a reputation for being a bit of a… character. So, take that with a grain of salt. Maybe focus your photography on the architecture; the decay itself is pretty atmospheric. Good luck with your project!
That's a pretty sensible take on it. Mischievous spirits makes more sense than a full-blown haunting, I guess. Faulty wiring is always a good suspect, haha. The janitor story... well, janitors do see a lot. I hadn't thought about focusing on the architecture; you're right, the decay adds a cool vibe. Thanks for the advice! I might try some long exposures to capture the atmosphere better.
