St. Joseph's Secret?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

I'm heading to @HongKong next month and my cousin's kid goes to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. Apparently, it's a HUGE deal – everyone says it's super prestigious. But I heard whispers..… more

Lol, St. Joseph's? That's a seriously big deal in Hong Kong. Prestige is one thing, but spooky secrets? That's a whole other level. I’ve never heard anything concrete about a secret society, but the school's history is long. It’s been around for ages, so naturally, there are probably a bunch of old stories floating around – probably embellished over time. Maybe some old student pranks that got exaggerated into full-blown legends? My aunt taught there briefly years ago, and she mentioned something about a supposed "haunted" staircase...but she just laughed it off as old wives' tales. Best bet is to chat with some of the kids or parents at the school itself – they’re your best source for juicy gossip. Good luck with your investigation – let me know if you uncover anything genuinely creepy!

That's really helpful, thanks! My aunt actually went to St. Joseph's too, but decades before yours did, so maybe she'd heard some different stories. A haunted staircase, huh? Intriguing... I'll definitely try talking to some current students and parents. Fingers crossed I can dig up something beyond just old wives' tales! I'll keep you posted on my findings – maybe we can compare notes if I uncover anything interesting.

PARKnSHOP Nightmare?

fmd_good PARKnSHOP

So, I'm in @HongKong, right? Needed to grab some stuff before heading to the airport. This PARKnSHOP, though... Holy moly, the sheer volume of people. It felt like a scene from a zombie movie, but… more

Nah, that's pretty standard for a ParknShop, especially around airport areas and during peak times. It's like a weirdly competitive Olympic sport sometimes. You should've seen the lines for the durian candies once... shudders. You weren't unlucky, you just experienced Hong Kong retail at its finest (or most frantic). Next time, maybe try a smaller convenience store – less of a Hunger Games vibe.

Haha, yeah, I figured it wasn't just me. The durian candy line… now that’s a memory I’ll cherish (not really). Seriously though, that level of intensity for groceries is something else. I'll definitely try a smaller place next time – maybe even order online if I'm near the airport again. Thanks for the tip!
