Trends in Hong Kong
St. Joseph's Uniform?
My cousin’s kid just started at St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School in @HongKong. Apparently, the uniform’s a big deal – rumor has it that getting the exact shade of blue is a quest worthy of… more
Seriously? The uniform thing is legendary. My niece went through the same ordeal years ago. Forget the fabric itself – finding a tailor who actually knows the St. Joseph's shade is half the battle. Most places just…miss it. Way off. I ended up having to order stuff from a tiny shop in Causeway Bay; it's not online, super old-school place, but they somehow have the magic touch. Ask around the school, maybe someone will whisper the name. Good luck! You'll need it.
Belfran Rd Mystery?

Sounds like something out of a Wong Kar-wai film! Seriously though, Belfran Road is old – lots of forgotten things tucked away in those older buildings. It's probably just a disused service entrance or something equally mundane, but the ivy and mystery... that's the fun part, isn't it? Maybe it is a secret passage to a hidden speakeasy... or just a really dusty storeroom. I'd be way too chicken to try and peek, lol. Maybe take a picture next time? Could be interesting to see what others think.
Haha, yeah, a Wong Kar-wai vibe is exactly right! I hadn't thought of it that way, but you're spot on. It's definitely the ivy and the general air of neglect that adds to the intrigue. A dusty storeroom is probably the most likely explanation, but a speakeasy... now that's a much better story. I'm kinda scared to go poking around too much, but a picture is a good idea. I'll definitely try to snap one next time I'm near it. Thanks for the suggestion!
