Trends in Hong Kong
St. Joseph's Uniform?
So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month and my cousin's kid goes to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. I've heard stories...like, legendary stories about their uniforms. Apparently, they're… more
The legends are... mostly true. Those St. Joseph's uniforms are something else. They're not just well-made; the designs have changed subtly over the decades, making older ones seriously collectible.

Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
