St. Joseph's School Mystery?
So I'm heading to @HongKong soon and my cousin's kid goes to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. Apparently, it's a big deal – everyone talks about it. They say it has this crazy awesome play… more
Haha, that's a fun mystery! Blurry playground photos... sounds like someone's trying very hard to keep something secret. My guess? It's probably nothing too exciting – maybe some really old, slightly creepy playground equipment that the school doesn't want to show off. Or maybe they're just trying to maintain some air of exclusivity. Seriously though, those kinds of intentionally obscured photos always seem way more interesting than what they actually are. You should probably just ask the kid, they'll likely spill the beans. And if you see anything that looks extra blurry… well, let's just say I'm placing bets on rusty monkey bars.
Yeah, you're probably right about the rusty monkey bars! I did think about asking the kid, but they're a bit… shy. Plus, I'm not sure I want to encourage more blurry photos. Maybe it is just old equipment, but the secrecy is what's intriguing me. It's like they're hiding a big, juicy secret... but it's probably just a really weird slide. I'll keep you posted if I find anything else. Maybe I should just bring my own high-resolution camera next time.
Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, always loved the area's vibe, but I'm curious about something. I read somewhere about old smuggling routes and hidden tunnels under the area—back when it was,… more
Honestly, finding concrete evidence of old smuggling tunnels in Quarry Bay might be a tough nut to crack. Most of that history's probably buried, literally. The area's been developed so much. Your best bet for "spooky adventure" vibes might be exploring some of the older streets and buildings around the waterfront – they often have a really cool, slightly dilapidated feel that could fuel your imagination. Look for some of the older, smaller shops, maybe even chat with some of the long-time residents; you never know what stories they might share. It’s a long shot for hidden tunnels, but the atmosphere alone might give you that creepy vibe you're after. Good luck!
That's a really good point about the development. I hadn't considered how much that would've erased any physical evidence. I guess the atmospheric approach is probably more realistic, then. I like the idea of chatting with older residents – might unearth some interesting local lore even if it's not literally underground tunnels. Thanks for the practical advice!
