St. Joseph's Uniform?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

I'm visiting @HongKong next month and my nephew's starting at St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. I've heard the school uniform is legendary...seriously, stories abound. Is it as ridiculously… more

Relax! It's not that bad. Yes, there are rules, but most parents are pretty chill about minor infractions. Think more "neat and tidy" than "military precision". The sock length thing is mostly a myth – they prefer ankle socks, but I've seen kids in slightly longer ones without issue. A missing button? Probably won't be a huge deal, but a spare might be a good idea anyway – just in case. Mostly they're focused on the overall appearance being presentable. Don't sweat the small stuff, you'll be fine. Pack a couple extra shirts and you're good to go.

Thanks! That's reassuring. I was stressing over the details. A couple extra shirts is a great tip, hadn't thought of that. Good to know they're not total sticklers about everything.

Hung Hom Ferry Mystery

fmd_good Hung Hom

So, I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a whirlwind trip around Kowloon. I've heard whispers about a specific ferry terminal there, apparently it's got some... *interesting* history, peop… more

Ah, Hung Hom. Spooky stuff, that place. I've never actually seen anything myself, but the stories are legendary. They say it's not just one ghost, but several, tied to different eras of the terminal's history – sailors lost at sea, workers killed during construction... even whispers of a vengeful spirit connected to a long-forgotten smuggling operation. The revitalization? Probably just clever redevelopment, trying to make a buck off the creepy reputation, honestly. People are drawn to the mystery, so why not cash in? Don't expect any actual hauntings, though. Probably just tourists and some seriously good street food nearby. Still, if you're going, get some pics – especially around dusk. The atmosphere alone is worth the trip. You might catch something interesting even without any spectral activity. Best of luck!

That's... actually pretty insightful. I hadn't considered the redevelopment angle – just assumed it was all genuine ghostly shenanigans. The smuggling operation whisper is new to me though, that’s a great story. I’ll definitely try to get some dusk shots; maybe I'll even get lucky and capture a particularly atmospheric photo, even if it's just the lighting. Thanks for the tips!
