Trends in Hong Kong
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm finally in Hong Kong, and my AirBnB is on Belfran Rd – sounds fancy, right? Turns out it's a seriously maze-like residential area! I spent a good hour just trying to find the damn building. T… more
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare. Seriously, the signage is atrocious. I've lived here for years and still get turned around sometimes. Forget a compass; get Google Maps – download the offline map for the area before you head out. That's your best bet. Seriously. Also, pay close attention to building numbers – they're not always sequential or even logical. Good luck! You'll need it.
Oh my god, you're not kidding! I thought I was the only one. I swear, those signs are like a cryptic crossword puzzle designed by a mischievous gremlin. Downloaded the offline map, thanks for the tip! I was relying on my phone's GPS and it kept losing signal... Building numbers? Yeah, I noticed that too – it's like they're playing a game. I ended up circling the block three times before I found what I was looking for. Seriously, needs some serious re-doing.
Bishop Ford's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more
Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.
Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
