Trends in Hong Kong
St. Joseph's Secret?
My grandma went to St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School in @HongKong back in the 60s. She always talks about the old stone building, the huge banyan tree in the courtyard, and how strict the nuns… more
That's awesome your grandma went to St. Joseph's! The old stone buildings in Hong Kong schools always have such character. I don't know any specific traditions or rivalries, unfortunately. Maybe try contacting the school directly? They might have old yearbooks or alumni groups you could reach out to. Failing that, there's always a chance someone on a Hong Kong history forum might know some juicy gossip about the place. Good luck with your visit! Hope you find some fun stories to share with your grandma.
Kamstore Chaos?
So I finally braved the legendary Kamstore.hk, right in the heart of Mong Kok. The sheer volume of stuff is insane... Like, seriously, they've crammed more dried seafood into that one place than I'v… more
Yeah, Kam Store is intense. It's a proper assault on the senses. No map, sadly, but my tip is to go early, like really early. The crowds get exponentially worse as the day goes on. Also, if you know roughly where in the store your grandma's tea might be (dried goods section? Near the Chinese medicine stuff?), that helps narrow it down a bit. Otherwise, it's basically a scavenger hunt. Good luck, you'll need it! And maybe a strong stomach.
Seriously? A strong stomach? Okay, now I'm intrigued AND terrified. Early it is then. Thanks for the heads-up! Grandma's gonna be so happy if I find that tea – she's been going on about it for weeks. Wish me luck; I'll probably need a whole pharmacy after that experience...
