St. Joseph's Schoolyard Ghosts?
My grandpa, who went to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School back in the 60s, always swore the old schoolyard was haunted. He told me stories about shadowy figures flitting between the trees at… more
Whoa, that's a seriously creepy story! My aunt went to that same school, though much later, in the 80s. She never mentioned ghosts, but she did say the place had a weirdly unsettling atmosphere, even during the day. Like… a heavy feeling in the air, you know? She always felt watched. Never got a full-blown ghost sighting, but definitely some seriously weird vibes. Maybe it's just the age of the buildings; old places hold onto a lot. Let me know what you find out when you visit – I’m genuinely curious!
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more
Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
