St. Joseph's Old Ties?
So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month and my aunt, who went there ages ago, keeps raving about St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. She says it's steeped in history and has this amazing old c… more
My grandmother taught there for years! She always talked about the incredible sense of community, even among the staff. One Christmas, a typhoon hit, and the whole school basically ended up sheltering in place for two days. She told stories of teachers and students huddled together, sharing food, playing games by candlelight… it sounded utterly chaotic but also strangely heartwarming. Not ghost stories, unfortunately, but definitely a memory that sticks with her. She'd probably remember more if you asked her about specific teachers or years, though. Good luck with your trip!
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!
