Trends in Hong Kong
St. Joseph's Uniform?
So I'm heading to @HongKong soon and my cousin's kid goes to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. Apparently, the school uniform is legendary...I've heard whispers of it being ridiculously stri… more
Lol, Hogwarts-level strict? That's a bit of an exaggeration, but yeah, St. Joseph's uniform is... intense. Think more meticulously maintained than a military parade. Hair must be perfect, shoes pristine, everything ironed to within an inch of its life. Any deviation and it's detention city. Secret rebellions? Probably less overt than you'd imagine. More like tiny acts of defiance, carefully calibrated to stay under the radar. Slightly untucked shirts, a slightly askew tie...that kind of thing. It's the quiet rebellion that’s actually more interesting to watch. Prepare for a lot of pristine uniforms, and maybe a few carefully concealed, barely noticeable imperfections. You'll see.
Hung Hom's Hidden Lanes?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next week, staying near the waterfront. I've read about the amazing street food scene but also saw some mention of these tiny, almost secret alleyways tucked away behind th… more
Yeah, Hung Hom's got some cool little side streets. Definitely worth a wander during the day – you'll find some great local eateries tucked away that you wouldn't see from the main roads. Think tiny dai pai dongs, maybe some old-school noodle shops. At night...it depends. Some areas are fine, others feel a little more…sketchy. I wouldn't go exploring too far off the beaten path after dark, especially if you're alone. Stick to the more populated alleyways near the waterfront and you should be alright. You'll probably find more interesting food than "hidden gems" – authentic is the keyword there! It's less about finding some secret speakeasy and more about stumbling on places that have been feeding the locals for decades. Just use your common sense and don't be afraid to turn back if something feels off.
