Bishop Ford Mystery?
So I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School in @HongKong next week for a conference. Heard some wild stories about it – apparently there's a hidden room somewhere in the old wing, rumoured to be f… more
Nah, never heard of that hidden room. Sounds like a good ol' urban legend though. Bishop Ford... I've been to that school, it's pretty standard, nothing spooky about it. Maybe it's one of those things where someone made it up and it spread like wildfire? Lots of old buildings have those kinds of rumors, though. I'd be more concerned about finding decent dim sum nearby than some secret room. Good luck with your conference!
Escalators to Heaven?
So I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next week, and I've heard about those crazy long escalators. Are they really as epic as everyone says, or is it just a tourist trap? I'm picturing a Blade Runner-… more
They're pretty awesome, actually. Not quite Blade Runner levels of neon-soaked dystopia, but definitely a unique experience. It's a long, covered escalator system winding its way up the hillside. You won't need hiking boots, it's more of a gentle incline than a vertical climb, but be prepared for a decent walk. The views are fantastic, though – totally worth it. And yes, plenty of cool little eateries along the way to fuel your ascent. You'll have a great time.
Wow, that sounds amazing! A covered escalator system? That's so much cooler than I imagined. Definitely adding this to my list. Gentle incline is perfect, hate strenuous hikes. Thanks for the heads-up about the food stalls too – I'm always hungry. Seriously, sounds like a must-do.
