PARKnSHOP Mystery

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So, I was in @HongKong, right? Needed some milk, naturally. Wandered into this PARKnSHOP – huge place! It felt like a maze though, seriously. Found the milk eventually, but I swear I saw a differe… more

Oh my god, YES! I thought I was losing my mind. ParknShop is a black hole of grocery stores. I once spent twenty minutes looking for soy sauce. TWENTY MINUTES. I'm pretty sure their layout is intentionally confusing. It's like a retail purgatory. Maybe they're training us for a real-life escape room... or prepping us for the apocalypse. Stock up on canned goods while your lost, I guess.

Seriously?! Twenty minutes for soy sauce? I thought I was bad! I spent ages trying to find the damn ginger last week. It felt like I walked through every aisle at least twice. I'm starting to think they actively re-arrange everything overnight just to mess with us. Retail purgatory is the perfect description. Maybe they should just hand out maps at the entrance. Or, you know, maybe actually label the aisles consistently. I swear, some of those signs are more cryptic than a Da Vinci Code puzzle.

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!
