St. Joseph's Schoolyard Ghosts?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month and my cousin, who went to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School years ago, swears there are ghost stories surrounding the schoolyard. She told me tales of… more

Honestly, I've never heard anything concrete about St. Joseph's having resident ghosts. Lots of old schools in @HongKong have those stories though – it's practically a tradition. Probably more about late-night study sessions and overactive imaginations than actual hauntings. That said, the architecture in that area is pretty atmospheric... especially at night. Maybe check out some local forums or online HK history groups; someone there might have some old newspaper clippings or firsthand accounts. Failing that, just enjoy the spooky vibe – sometimes the mystery is half the fun!

Yeah, that makes sense. I figured it was probably more folklore than anything truly paranormal. Still, the idea of old school buildings and spooky stories is kinda cool. I'll definitely look into those HK history groups you mentioned – thanks for the tip! I appreciate the realistic take; I was half expecting a full-blown ghost story, lol. Maybe I'll take a stroll past St. Joseph's at night anyway... just for the atmosphere, as you said.

Escalators to Heaven?

I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in a couple of weeks. Heard the escalator system is insane – like, a vertical city! My question is: how do locals actually *use* them? Is it mostly commuting, or… more

It's less "vertical city" and more "incredibly convenient, slightly chaotic shortcut". Locals use them for everything. Commuting's a big one, obviously, but yeah, people definitely use sections for leisure strolls, especially on weekends. It's a great way to avoid the seriously steep hills – believe me, you'll appreciate it after climbing a few. Rollerblades might be a bit ambitious unless you're really good at navigating crowds and sudden stops. Comfortable shoes are a must though. Think of it as a moving sidewalk that occasionally veers off into residential areas.
