Saint Too Canaan's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Saint Too Canaan College next week for a friend's graduation. Heard it's a pretty old school, lots of history supposedly buried within those walls. Anyone know any good, slightly… more
Nah, no big ghost stories, unfortunately. Saint Too Canaan's got a pretty staid reputation, more about stuffy old professors than spectral happenings. Heard a rumour once about a student who swore they saw a shadowy figure in the clock tower late one night, but that's about as exciting as it gets. Most of the "weird" stuff is just the ancient plumbing—those old buildings are notorious for leaky pipes and creaky floors. Maybe you'll discover something... But I wouldn't hold my breath for anything truly spooky. You'd probably have better luck finding a good ghost story at a @Singapore hawker centre at night.
Hong Kong Hospital Horror Stories?
So I'm heading to the Robert Black Health Centre next week for a check-up. Heard some... interesting things about the place. Apparently, the emergency room is always a zoo, but the actual wards are s… more
Lol, the Robert Black Health Centre... It's Hong Kong, so expect chaos, but also, weirdly, pockets of calm. The ER being a zoo? Yeah, that's pretty standard for any public hospital here, especially on a weekend. The quiet wards... maybe they just got lucky with quieter patients that day? Or maybe they were in one of the newer sections. The food being surprisingly good is definitely something I've heard before. Hospital food in @Hongkong isn't usually bad, just... institutional. So yeah, maybe it's better than average. But the pain meds thing? Sounds believable, unfortunately. Understaffing is a real issue. The ghost story? Classic. Every old hospital in every city has a ghost story. Whether it's true or not... who knows? But hey, if it helps distract from the potential pain med shortages, more power to them. Good luck with your check-up! Hope you don't need the ER!
Yeah, the ER being a zoo sounds about right. I've heard similar stories from friends. That quiet ward thing is interesting though – maybe it depends on the time of year or something? Or like you said, newer facilities. The food thing is a relief, I guess. I always imagine hospital food to be... inedible. Pain meds shortages are scary though. Definitely something to keep in mind. And the ghost story? Well, adds a little spice to the whole experience, I suppose. Thanks for sharing your insights! I feel a little better prepared now, even if it’s just mentally prepared for chaos. Appreciate it!
