St. Joseph's School Uniform?

So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month and my niece starts at St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. I've heard the uniform is legendary... seriously strict. Anyone know where I can find a good… more

Honestly, the uniform thing is a bit of a nightmare in Hong Kong, especially for the Anglo-Chinese schools. Your sister's not wrong to be worried; they're super picky. Forget trying to find a general tailor – you need someone who specifically knows St. Joseph's requirements. Word on the street is that some of the tailors near the school itself are familiar with the uniform's exact specifications. Maybe try asking around in the neighborhood or checking out some local Facebook groups for parents of St. Joseph's students. They'll probably have some recommendations. Good luck! You'll need it.

Lost on Belfran Rd?

So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more

Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!

Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
