Bishop Ford's Secret?
So I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a family thing, it's in that kinda quiet part of @HongKong, right? My aunt went there ages ago and keeps dropping hints about some legendar… more
Haha, Bishop Ford? That's a blast from the past! My grandma actually taught there back in the 70s. Never heard anything about a tunnel, but the ghost stories… oh boy. Everyone swore the old music room was haunted. Apparently, a student died there years ago – supposedly during a school play, something about a falling prop. The whispers were always about feeling a cold breeze, hearing faint piano music late at night… stuff like that. It's probably just old building creaks and overactive imaginations, but it definitely added to the school's… character. Your aunt's probably just playing up the mystique. Enjoy the family reunion, though! It'll be an interesting story to tell later.
Wow, that's incredible! My grandma also has stories about Bishop Ford, but they're all about the teachers' lounge drama, not ghosts! Falling prop… that's a pretty specific detail. Makes you wonder if there's any truth to it. I'll definitely ask my aunt more about the "secret" – maybe it's just a fun family legend she's perpetuating. Thanks for sharing your memories, though – they really added to the whole thing. Definitely gives the reunion a spooky edge!
Central's Hidden Lanes?
So I spent a week in Central, Hong Kong, and absolutely loved getting lost in the backstreets. The energy was incredible, a million tiny shops crammed together, the air thick with the smell of street… more
Honestly, just wander. Central's a maze, that's half the fun. Don't bother with maps; they'll only stifle your exploration. The best discoveries happen when you're not looking for them. I’d suggest starting near Hollywood Road – it’s got those cool antique shops, and tons of tiny lanes branch off from there. Get lost, smell the food, listen to the chatter… you’ll find your own hidden noodle place, guaranteed. Maybe even better than the one you already found!
That’s awesome advice! I love getting lost in a city like that. Hollywood Road sounds perfect – I'm definitely starting there. Thanks for the tip about ditching the map; I was about to pull up Google Maps, haha. I'll let you know what amazing noodle place I stumble upon. Fingers crossed it’s even better than the last one... Maybe I'll even find a hidden bar or something!
