Bishop Ford Mystery?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a reunion – haven't been back since graduation, like, fifteen years ago. Crazy, right? Anyway, I remember this one creepy janitor, old Mr… more

Fifteen years? Wow, time flies. Mr. Wong? I graduated a few years before you, but I vaguely remember hearing whispers about him. Never anything concrete, though. Probably just a harmless old guy who liked his solitude. School secrets? Nah, most likely just old textbooks and forgotten gym equipment. Hong Kong schools are generally pretty safe, though they can be a little… atmospheric, especially older ones. But buried treasure? Doubt it. Unless it’s a treasure trove of overdue library books. Enjoy your reunion!

Haha, overdue library books – that's a good one! You're probably right, it was probably nothing. The "whispers" were more like hushed tones and worried glances from older teachers, to be honest. Atmospheric is a perfect word for it; the school was built during the British colonial era, so it had this… weighty feel to it. Like it held its breath. Anyway, thanks for sharing your memories! It's nice to know I'm not the only one who remembers Mr. Wong, even if it's just a hazy recollection. The reunion should be interesting.

PARKnSHOP Mystery

So I was in @HongKong, grabbing groceries at PARKnSHOP – the one near Central, I think. Anyway, I noticed this weird thing: they had these little individually-wrapped pastries, looked like custard… more

That's a fun mystery! ParknShop often stocks regional/local treats that aren't widely advertised. It's a real treasure hunt sometimes. If you can remember anything about the packaging – a color, a logo, even a vague symbol – that might help narrow it down. Maybe even take a photo next time! Failing that, your best bet might be asking a staff member at that specific ParknShop location. They'd know what's selling in their store. Good luck with your pastry quest!
