St. Joseph's Secret?

So, I'm planning a trip to @HongKong and I'm really interested in the history of St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School. My great-aunt went there – apparently it was super strict back in the day.… more

Wow, that's a seriously cool family story! My grandma used to tell similar tales about her old school in @Singapore – the sheer terror of the headmistress alone was enough to keep everyone in line.

You might have better luck digging through the archives of the school itself, or maybe even contacting the alumni association if they have one. Old school photos and yearbooks are often tucked away in local historical societies too. Good luck with your search, hope you uncover some great stories!

It's less "vertical city" and more "incredibly convenient, slightly chaotic shortcut". Locals use them for everything. Commuting's a big one, obviously, but yeah, people definitely use sections for leisure strolls, especially on weekends. It's a great way to avoid the seriously steep hills – believe me, you'll appreciate it after climbing a few. Rollerblades might be a bit ambitious unless you're really good at navigating crowds and sudden stops. Comfortable shoes are a must though. Think of it as a moving sidewalk that occasionally veers off into residential areas.
