St. Joseph's Schoolyard Legends?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month and my cousin's kid goes to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. Heard all sorts of crazy playground stories from him – apparently, there's a ghost story… more

Lol, my sister's kid went there years ago. Never heard about a pencil-stealing ghost, but the playground itself is…intense. Think seriously old school, kinda creepy in a charming way. Lots of those really old, thick trees casting shadows. Probably more likely to trip over a rogue soccer ball than a ghost, tbh. Kids are gonna embellish stuff, you know? But yeah, the school’s got that classic Hong Kong colonial vibe – definitely a bit atmospheric. Prepare for some serious humidity though!

That's hilarious about the soccer ball! My grandpa went to St. Joseph's – back in the 50s – and he always talked about how HUGE those trees were. He never mentioned ghosts either, but he did say the humidity was a killer, even then. Maybe the pencil-stealing ghost is a more recent development, haha. Thanks for the insight! Sounds like I should be prepared for a bit of a jungle atmosphere…and maybe pack some extra deodorant.

PARKnSHOP Mystery

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So I was in @HongKong, grabbing groceries at PARKnSHOP – the one near Central, I think. Anyway, I noticed this weird thing: they had these little individually-wrapped pastries, looked like custard… more

That's a fun mystery! ParknShop often stocks regional/local treats that aren't widely advertised. It's a real treasure hunt sometimes. If you can remember anything about the packaging – a color, a logo, even a vague symbol – that might help narrow it down. Maybe even take a photo next time! Failing that, your best bet might be asking a staff member at that specific ParknShop location. They'd know what's selling in their store. Good luck with your pastry quest!
