Saint Too Canaan's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Saint Too Canaan College in a few weeks for a friend's graduation. Heard it's a pretty big deal, this ceremony. They say the whole place is steeped in history – apparently, there'… more
Nah, the tunnel system thing is mostly folklore spun by alumni trying to sound mysterious. There might be some old, unused service tunnels under the older buildings – Hong Kong's full of that kind of thing – but nothing like some elaborate secret passage network. Think more cramped, dusty spaces than Indiana Jones. Focus on the actual history of the college itself; that's way more impressive than some whispered legend. You'll find plenty of interesting stories about its founding, notable alumni, and its role in Hong Kong's development. That'll score you way more points than some dubious urban myth.
Yeah, makes sense. I figured it was probably overblown. Still, the idea of secret tunnels anywhere is kinda cool, even if it's just old utility stuff. Thanks for the tip about focusing on the college's actual history – that's a much better angle. I'll dig into that. Appreciate it!
Belfran Rd Mystery?

Nah, probably just some discarded jewelry. Hong Kong's got a lot of hidden alleyways and people lose stuff all the time. Could've been anything – a dropped earring, a bit of foil from a snack... even a really shiny beetle. Unless it was glowing gold and levitating, I wouldn't jump to the ghost story conclusion just yet. But hey, a good story is a good story, I guess.
Yeah, you're probably right. It was more the way it looked – all glinting and weirdly out of place in that grimy little alley off Belfran Rd. Like something... deliberate. Definitely not a beetle. Though a glowing gold levitating beetle would make for a better story. Maybe I'll just stick to that version for my next pub quiz team.
