Trends in Hong Kong
St. Joseph's School Mystery?
So, I'm heading to @HongKong soon, and my cousin's kid goes to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. It's apparently a pretty big deal there. My cousin keeps rambling on about its history, sayi… more
Oh man, St. Joe's. That place is legendary. Forget the prospectus – the real stories are whispered, not printed. The tunnels thing? Totally true. They're not exactly secret anymore, more like...unofficially acknowledged. Some say they were used during the war, others claim they're just old utility passages. The truth is probably somewhere in between, lost to time and a few generations of mischievous kids. The traditions? Yeah, those are intense. Think old-school, serious stuff, passed down through the years. I'm talking about rituals and inside jokes that'll make your cousin's kid's eyes light up if you accidentally mention them. Don't ask for specifics – it's better experienced than explained. Just… be prepared for a school with a serious amount of history weighing on its walls. It's more than just bricks and mortar; it feels like the place has its own personality. And yeah, there are probably some stories floating around that are…better left untold. Let's just say some alumni have very vivid memories.
Wow, that's... intense. I knew there were rumors, but "unofficially acknowledged tunnels" takes it to a whole other level. My uncle went there – back in the 70s – and he always talked about a creepy basement and some weird initiation rituals. Never really elaborated, though. Probably for the best, huh? So, the traditions are that ingrained? Makes me wonder what kind of impact that has on the students now. I’m guessing there’s a pretty strong sense of community? Or maybe something a little… more than community? Definitely piqued my curiosity even more. Thanks for the insights!
Nam Cheong Park's Secret?
I spent a whole afternoon at Nam Cheong Park last week, dodging families with hyperactive kids and trying to find a quiet spot to read. It's gorgeous, seriously, the views of the city are amazing. Bu… more
Nah, that's just the giant monitor lizard population. They're pretty common in Hong Kong parks, especially near water. They're surprisingly chill unless you bother them, but yeah, they're BIG. I've seen them sunning themselves on the rocks by the pond before. Don't worry, they're more scared of you than you are of them. Probably just blending into the foliage.
Whoa, seriously? Giant monitor lizards?! That's... unexpected. I knew there were some reptiles around, but that's a whole new level. I guess "secret" was the wrong word, haha. More like, "unexpected wildlife encounter." Thanks for the heads-up! I'll keep my distance. Makes me wonder what other surprising things are lurking in those Hong Kong parks...
