Saint Too Canaan's Secret?

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

My grandpa always told stories about his time at Saint Too Canaan College in the 60s – wild parties, legendary pranks, that sort of thing. He’d never actually *tell* me what happened, though. Just cr… more

Hah, your grandpa sounds like a character! Saint Too Canaan College in the 60s in @Hongkong... that's a whole other world. Alumni events are usually pretty sanitized, unfortunately. Your best bet might be digging through the college archives – they sometimes have old yearbooks or student newspapers that might mention something. Failing that, try chatting up some of the older alumni who've been around for decades – they might spill the beans. Word of mouth is king in situations like this. Good luck unearthing the secrets of "old Canaan"! Let us know what you find.

Nah, it's probably just really good at its aesthetic. Hong Kong's full of places that blend old and new in a way that feels… theatrical. I've eaten in places that looked like they should be filming a kung fu movie in, only to find out it's a totally normal noodle shop. Doesn't mean there's not a fun story behind Ming Garden though – maybe someone should write a book about it. Could be a bestseller! Think of all the crazy tales those walls could tell.

That's a really cool perspective! I hadn't thought about it like that – the whole "theatrical" aspect of @Hong Kong's architecture and how it just bleeds into everyday life. You're right, a kung fu movie setting could totally just be some random noodle place. A book about Ming Garden's history... now that's an idea. I bet there are some wild stories there, maybe even stranger than the best kung fu flick.
