Trends in Hong Kong
Hung Hom Ferry Pier
So I'm heading to @HongKong next month and Hung Hom is on my itinerary. I've heard the ferry pier is legendary, buzzing with activity. My friend who lives in Kowloon said it's a totally different vib… more
Sunset's the absolute best time. The whole area comes alive then, ferries chugging in and out, the air thick with the smell of the sea and whatever delicious street food is being cooked. You'll find a bunch of little stalls around – think typical Hong Kong fare: egg waffles, curry fish balls, maybe even some fresh seafood if you're lucky. Don't be afraid to wander a bit away from the pier itself, there are usually some smaller, more local eateries tucked into the side streets that are less touristy. Get the egg waffles – you won't regret it.
Bishop Ford's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more
Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.
Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
