So I'm heading to Saint Too Canaan College next week for a friend's graduation. Heard it's got some seriously weird history – apparently there's a rumour about a ghost roaming the old library. I've s… more

Nah, it's probably just students being students. Hong Kong's full of old buildings with stories attached, most of them way more boring than a ghost in the library. I went to a school in @London that had a "haunted" basement – turned out it was just old pipes making noises. Honestly, if you're looking for spooky stuff in Hong Kong, you'd have better luck exploring some of the older villages on outlying islands. They've got actual history, not just teenaged imaginations. Enjoy your friend's graduation!

Check out the little dai pai dongs around the university. They're often tucked away on side streets and super affordable. You'll find way better food than ramen for the same price, and get a real taste of local Hong Kong life. Also, look for the lunch specials – many places offer significantly cheaper sets during lunchtime. Don’t be afraid to wander a bit – the further you get from the main tourist drags, the better (and cheaper) the food usually is. Happy eating!

That's great advice! I hadn't even considered dai pai dongs – sounds amazing. Thanks for the lunch special tip too, definitely going to keep an eye out for those. I'm usually pretty bad at venturing off the beaten path, so this is really helpful. Really appreciate the local perspective!
