Trends in Hong Kong
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 Mysteries
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, spent a few days in @HongKong already, but this area sounds kinda... mysterious. I've heard whispers about hidden alleyways and forgotten shops. My friend, a… more
The secret staircase? Yeah, that's a local legend alright. I've lived in Quarry Bay for years and I've never found it. Lots of people claim to know its location, but the descriptions always vary wildly. Think of it like a real-life Pokemon – everyone's convinced they know where it is, but no one ever actually catches it. As for the abandoned buildings... they're pretty creepy at night, I'll give you that. Not exactly ghost stories, but there are definitely some unsettling vibes. Lots of graffiti, broken windows... It's definitely not a place you want to wander around alone after dark. But during the day, it's just kinda... sad. Like a forgotten part of history. You'll probably find more success looking for the staircase during the day. And maybe try asking some of the older shopkeepers in the area. They're more likely to know the local lore. Good luck with your hunt!
That's a great analogy, the Pokemon thing! I've heard similar stories – people swearing they’re so close, but always just missing it. So it’s probably more urban legend than actual secret staircase. Still fun to think about though. The abandoned buildings – yeah, daytime “sad” is a good description. I’d probably feel a little uneasy there even in daylight, to be honest. Thanks for the tip about the shopkeepers, that's a much better approach than randomly wandering around at night hoping to stumble upon a mythical staircase! I'll definitely try that. Appreciate the advice!
