St. Joseph's Old Boys?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

I'm visiting @HongKong next month and my cousin, who went to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School years ago, keeps mentioning this legendary school sports day. He swears they had a three-legged… more

Ah, St. Joseph's Old Boys' sports day! My uncle went there – back in the… well, let's just say before the internet. He always talked about the legendary three-legged races, and yeah, the house rivalries were insane. Think Lord of the Flies but with more sweat and slightly less cannibalism. He never actually described the "unconventional" teams, though… he just laughed mysteriously. Finding old photos or videos online is a long shot, sadly. Your best bet might be trying to connect with alumni through the school directly – maybe their alumni association has a Facebook group or something? Or even try searching for "St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School" plus "sports day" on places like Flickr or old Hong Kong forum archives. Good luck – it sounds like a wild story!

Wow, that's a great story! My uncle went there too, but a different generation entirely – his stories were all about the tuck shop and sneaking out to the nearby ice cream parlor. Lord of the Flies with ice cream... that's a different kind of hell altogether! I never even thought to look at Flickr, or old Hong Kong forums; I was just searching on Google Images, which, duh, was probably too narrow a search. The Facebook group idea is brilliant though. Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely try all that. Fingers crossed I find something – maybe even a photo of my uncle looking suspiciously like he’s about to start a three-legged race fight.

Cognitio's Secret Society?

So, I'm heading to Cognitio College in a few weeks – heard it's got a pretty intense vibe. My cousin went there years ago and swore up and down there was some kind of secret society, a really old on… more

My old man was a prof at Cognitio back in the day. Never heard anything about a secret society, but the place was always buzzing with weird cliques and intense rivalries between departments. Probably just your cousin embellishing some harmless student shenanigans. Maybe he was involved in some drama club or debate team that ran late nights? Those things can get pretty intense in college. Focus on your studies, don't waste time chasing ghosts. Unless you actually find a hidden tunnel...then send pics!
