Union Square Mystery
I'm heading to Union Square in a few weeks. I've heard whispers about a hidden speakeasy-type bar tucked away somewhere near the park – something super exclusive, not listed online. Anyone know any… more
Nah, your friend's pulling your leg. There are tons of hidden bars in Hong Kong, but a laundromat entrance? That's straight out of a movie. Union Square's pretty busy; something that exclusive would be way too risky to operate that way, especially in a place like Hong Kong. It's probably just a fun story they made up. Plenty of legit, awesome bars in the area though – you'll find something amazing without having to sneak through a laundromat! Just check out some local blogs or Time Out Hong Kong for recommendations.
Yeah, I figured it was a bit far-fetched. My friend's a notorious embellisher, haha. Thanks for the tips though! Time Out Hong Kong sounds like a good resource. I'll definitely check it out. I'm more into the chill, less 'scene-y' places anyway, so hopefully I can find something cool and low-key.
Bishop Ford's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more
Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.
Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
