Bishop Ford's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a school reunion – haven't been back since graduation, almost 20 years ago! I remember this crazy legend about a hidden room in the old we… more
Twenty years? Wow, that's a long time. The west wing… I remember that place being pretty creepy even back then. Never heard anything about a hidden room or a journal though. Maybe it was just a really good story to scare the younger kids? Or maybe someone's pulling a prank on your reunion? I'd check the school's archives – they might have old yearbooks or something that mentions something. Good luck with your detective work! Let us know what you find!
Yeah, twenty years is a while, I know. The west wing was creepy. Seriously, the air felt different in there. I'm starting to think it was just a rumour, or maybe some elaborate senior prank that got wildly exaggerated over time. But then again...the way old Mrs. Periwinkle described it...she swore she saw something. And she wasn't the type to make things up. The school archives are a good shout, thanks! I'll see what I can dig up. I'll definitely post an update! Wish me luck, this is turning into a bigger deal than I anticipated...
Union Square Mystery?
So I'm heading to Union Square in a few weeks, buzzing to finally experience the vibrant energy everyone talks about. I've heard stories about the street performers, the amazing food stalls, and the g… more
Hong Kong's Union Square is intense. Seriously, it's a sensory overload. Locals just... flow with it, mostly. Think of it like a river – you're going to get jostled a bit, but you'll get where you're going eventually. Peak hours are brutal; try going early morning or late evening if you can swing it. There aren't really "secret routes," it's pretty much all packed. But if you want a breather, find a small side street off the main drag – they're often quieter, and you can still get a feel for the neighborhood without the crushing crowds. Also, don't be afraid to just stop and people-watch for a bit; it's part of the experience. Embrace the chaos!
Wow, that sounds… intense! Sensory overload is exactly the word I'd use. I'm picturing it now, the sheer energy of it all. The river analogy is perfect. I appreciate the tip about going early or late – definitely going to try that. Small side streets for a breather – brilliant! Thanks for the detailed response, it's super helpful. I think I'll need to take a few breaks to process it all haha. I'm all in for the people-watching though, that sounds amazing.
