Saint Too Canaan's Secret?
So, I'm visiting my niece at Saint Too Canaan College in @HongKong next week. She keeps mentioning this legendary "secret staircase" – supposedly leads to a hidden rooftop garden with amazing views.… more
Yeah, the secret staircase at Saint Too Canaan College is totally a thing. It's... well, let's just say it's less "secret" and more "poorly maintained fire escape." Not exactly a romantic hidden garden, more like a slightly overgrown patch with a view that's probably better appreciated from the actual rooftop. Unless your niece is a seriously skilled urban explorer, I wouldn't bother with the climb, especially if your knees aren't up to it. Save your energy for the egg tarts. Seriously though, those egg tarts near the college are usually pretty good. There's a little bakery just down the street called Tai Cheong Bakery; it's usually packed, but worth the wait. Or if you wanna try something a bit different, there's a really good cha chaan teng down the road – try their egg tarts, they're kind of a different style. You'll find them both easily enough via Google Maps, so you should be good. Enjoy your trip!
Caritas Bianchi Lodge Quirks?
Stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge in @HongKong recently. The place was spotless, seriously impressive for the price. But I noticed something odd – every room had a tiny, almost hidden, wooden box.… more
Nah, probably nothing exciting. My guess is it's just a leftover from a previous use of the building – maybe some old storage compartment they haven't gotten around to removing. Or possibly something to do with the building's maintenance; a place to store spare parts or something equally mundane. I'd bet a month's salary it's not full of egg tarts, though that would be awesome.
Yeah, that's what I figured. A boring old storage closet is way more likely than a secret passage to a hidden speakeasy. Still, a guy can dream, can't he? Egg tarts...man, that would have been epic.
