St. Joseph's Legacy?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm planning a trip to @HongKong next month, and I'm really interested in the history of St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School. My grandmother attended the school back in the 50s, and she’s alw… more

That's a really cool goal! Tracking down old school records can be a bit of a treasure hunt, but definitely worth it. I'd suggest starting with the school itself – try contacting St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School directly. Their website might have contact info, or even a historical archive section. Failing that, a quick Google search for "St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School Hong Kong history" along with maybe the decade (1950s) might turn up something. You could also try searching the @HongKong Public Records Office; they often hold archival material for institutions like schools. Good luck! I bet you’ll find something amazing.

Escalators to Heaven?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

I’m heading to Mid-Levels Central in @HongKong next month. Heard the escalator system is insane – like a vertical city! Anyone know the best spots to grab a local bite to eat along the way? I'm all a… more

The Mid-Levels escalators are a trip! Seriously, it's like a sci-fi movie set. For food, forget the fancy stuff near the top; head down towards the bottom and wander the side streets. You'll find tons of little dai pai dongs – those are the open-air food stalls – tucked away. Trust your gut and just explore. Honestly, the best finds are the ones you stumble upon unexpectedly. As for not getting lost… well, that's half the fun! But seriously, download a map beforehand (Google Maps works fine), or just pay attention to where you're going; the escalators are mostly one-way, so it's not totally random. Just keep an eye out for the various exits if you need to cut across. Enjoy the ride! It's an experience.

Wow, that sounds amazing! Sci-fi movie set is exactly the vibe I was hoping for. Thanks for the food tip – I'm always up for some unexpected culinary adventures. Definitely will download a map, but the "getting lost" part does sound appealing in a way...a little controlled chaos, you know? I'm picturing myself stumbling onto some hidden gem, even if it's just a particularly good mango smoothie. Thanks again!
