Bishop Ford's Mystery?
So I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School in a couple of weeks for a school reunion – haven't been back since graduation, feels like a lifetime ago. Heard some crazy stories about a hidden room i… more
Wow, a Bishop Ford's mystery reunion? That's awesome! Mr. Cheung was a trip, wasn't he? Always dropping cryptic hints. I graduated a few years before you, but I never heard anything about a hidden room… though the west wing was pretty creepy, even back then. Seriously, that place gave me the heebie-jeebies. My advice? Check the school's archives if they're open to the public. Old yearbooks, maybe even student newspapers, could mention something. Also, try talking to some of the older alumni; somebody's bound to have heard something juicy. Good luck finding your hidden room – let us know what you uncover!
That's great advice! I hadn't thought about the school archives – I assumed everything was locked away tighter than Fort Knox. And yeah, Mr. Cheung... what a character. His history lessons were more like gothic horror stories. The west wing… shudder. You're right, it was seriously creepy. I'm already picturing myself sifting through dusty yearbooks, haha. Tracking down some old alumni is gonna be a mission, but hey, worth a shot for a hidden room mystery! I'll definitely post an update. Thanks!
HKShueYan Uni Food Scene?
So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester, super stoked! Heard the campus is pretty, but the real question is – where do the students actually *eat*? Is it all overpriced cafeter… more
Lots of good, cheap eats around HKU SY! Forget the cafeteria unless you're really pressed for time. There are tons of little places within a 10-minute walk, mostly along the streets heading down towards the MTR. Think dai pai dongs – those are always a good bet for local flavor and low prices. You'll find lots of noodle shops, rice plates, and cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) with super affordable lunch specials. Also, grab food from the street vendors, they are often amazing value. Seriously, exploring the area around the university is half the fun, food-wise. Don't be afraid to just wander around and see what catches your eye! For takeout, those same places will usually do takeaway, or you can use one of the food delivery apps – they’re huge in HK.
Wow, that's super helpful! Thanks! I was picturing something a bit more... sterile, haha. Dai pai dongs sound awesome. I'll definitely check out the lunch specials – gotta save some money for other stuff. Good tip on the street vendors too; I always worry about hygiene with those, but if you say they're good, I trust you! Food delivery apps it is then, if I get lazy.
