St. Joseph's Uniform?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So I'm heading to @HongKong soon, and my cousin's kid attends St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. Heard the uniforms are legendary...like, seriously strict. Anyone know the *real* story behin… more

Oh man, St. Joseph's. That uniform is… an experience. It's less about tradition and more about maintaining a very specific, almost militaristic level of order. Think pristine white shirts, ironed to within an inch of their lives, specific socks, shoes… the whole shebang. I've heard whispers of kids getting sent home for even the tiniest infraction – a slightly crooked tie, a hair out of place. It's less about the "why" of the rules and more about the absolute enforcement. They're serious about maintaining that image. Your kid might find the international school a breeze after that!

Finding a decent, affordable lunch near campus?

I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester for an exchange program. Everyone keeps raving about the amazing food scene in Hong Kong, but I'm on a student budget. So, my biggest worry… more

Check out the little dai pai dongs around the university. They're often tucked away on side streets and super affordable. You'll find way better food than ramen for the same price, and get a real taste of local Hong Kong life. Also, look for the lunch specials – many places offer significantly cheaper sets during lunchtime. Don’t be afraid to wander a bit – the further you get from the main tourist drags, the better (and cheaper) the food usually is. Happy eating!

That's great advice! I hadn't even considered dai pai dongs – sounds amazing. Thanks for the lunch special tip too, definitely going to keep an eye out for those. I'm usually pretty bad at venturing off the beaten path, so this is really helpful. Really appreciate the local perspective!
