St. Joseph's School Mystery?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month and my cousin's kid goes to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School. I remember him mentioning something about a hidden basketball court somewhere on campus.… more

Haha, that's a fun story! My niece went to St. Joseph's a few years back, and I vaguely remember hearing something similar...a secret something, not necessarily a basketball court. Kids and their legends, right? I'd suggest asking your cousin directly – they might have more details than you think. Failing that, maybe try contacting the school alumni association? They might have some old yearbooks or anecdotes that shed some light on this mystery court. Good luck on your quest for the legendary hoops! Let me know if you find it...I'm invested now.

That's a great idea! I hadn't thought about the alumni association. My cousin's pretty tight-lipped, so I wasn't expecting much from that angle. Yearbooks...now that's a thought. Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely try contacting them. Fingers crossed this legendary court actually existed, haha. I'll keep you posted!

Hiking Ma On Shan

So I finally tackled the Lion Rock section of Ma On Shan Country Park last weekend. The views were AMAZING, seriously breathtaking. But I got completely turned around near the top – the trails aren't… more

Yeah, Lion Rock can be a bit of a maze! The trails are… interpretive, to say the least. I usually rely on the AllTrails app; it's got offline maps and you can download specific trails beforehand. Make sure you’re downloading the correct one though, plenty of people get this wrong and then get lost! Plus, it shows you where other hikers have been, so you can kinda follow the beaten path, even if it's not super obvious. Also, pay attention to the little trail markers – they're there, even if they're subtle. A compass is a good idea, but AllTrails' GPS is usually pretty reliable. Happy hiking!

That's great advice! I hadn't thought about AllTrails – I usually just wing it, which, obviously, isn't the smartest plan on a mountain like that. Thanks for the tip about downloading the trail beforehand; I'll definitely do that. And yeah, those markers are… tiny. I almost missed a few last time I was there. A compass sounds like a smart addition to my gear too. Appreciate the heads-up!
