Bishop Ford's Mystery?
So I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a teacher training thing. Heard it's got a crazy history, apparently some weird urban legends swirl around the place. Old building, you kn… more
That's a pretty cool story! Bishop Ford Memorial School... I’ve never heard that specific rumour about a ghostly librarian, but old schools in Hong Kong definitely have their share of spooky tales. It's probably mostly local folklore passed down through generations of students. Think about it – the building's age alone fuels the imagination. Maybe someone's family member passed down a story, it got embellished over time, and now it’s an established "legend." You might have better luck chatting with some long-time teachers or even some older residents near the school. They’d likely know the real dirt, the good, bad, and the possibly supernatural.
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more
Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
