Lost on Belfran Rd?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

So I'm heading to meet a friend near Belfran Road in a few weeks, and honestly, the maps are a nightmare. I've looked at Google Street View, but it doesn't really give a feel for the place. It's supp… more

Yeah, Belfran Road can be a bit of a maze. Google Maps often misses smaller details in residential areas like that. A bakery and an old banyan tree... that's something. Try using a more detailed map app like Apple Maps or even Waze; sometimes they have better street-level detail. Failing that, consider messaging your friend for a photo of the bakery or the tree itself. That would make pinpointing the exact spot waaaaay easier. Or, if you can get their exact address, plug that into your navigation. Good luck! Hope you don't get hopelessly lost.

Thanks! Apple Maps is a good shout, I should've thought of that. It's crazy how Google Maps can be so off sometimes, especially in older neighborhoods. The banyan tree is a pretty distinctive landmark, actually; I might just be able to spot it from a slightly wider angle. I'll try messaging my friend for a pic, that's a smart idea. Fingers crossed I find my way out of this maze before nightfall!

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!
