Just came back from HK this evening. Arrive KLIA at 435pm. So darn tired. You must have enough stamina to walk in HK if you are taking public transport and their public transport is very efficient!

I started to miss HK already. )=
Will post up my complete trip in my bloggie to share later on!

my experience was good 1.5yr back... with cityview, but we stayed at the tower rooms.. which was the newer rooms and are bigger...however, other ppl haf commented the normal rooms are not so big and nice...
it used to be know as YMCA

very conveniently located... btw ladies street and temple street... and so near the MTR.

Remember to try the porridge at Ocean Empire http://www.oceanempire.com.hk/chi/p6.asp located opposite the mtr entrance along nathan rd

and the Yee Shun Milk COmpany's desserts (http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Asia/Hong_Kong/Restaurants-Hong_Kong-Yee_Shun_Milk_Company-BR-1.html) which is just a few shops away from ocean empire

Check this site to see what's interesting to you:
http://www.oceanpark.com.hk/html/en/park-e...ttraction-show/

In addition, the CSO at the Low Land entracne offers good advice on how to go about touring the Park. The advice given is based on the age (with kids? with senior?) and how much time intended to stay at the Park.

Can anyone help me to buy some "magnetic" souvenirs from Disneylands? cry.gif

I wanted to buy some but was hold back, thinking we might find more and better ones in the next shop - ended up watching fireworks and left the place without realizing that we didn't buy it shocking.gif

PM me if you can help out. Thanks!

Er schools in HK are closed for 2weeks and they announced H1N1 as level 6 pandemic.
There are 5 of us, me, bro, sis and parents and we didn't really wear mask all the time there. Don't worry, HK government is very alert with H1N1 and i'm back in Msia, this is already the third day and nothing much happened.

Don't worry too much and enjoy your trip. They have already started their summer sales and i guarantee you will shop till you drop! Remember to bring more cash! If you are still worry, bring along mask and wear it all the time. (=

Yea! Same goes to us.
We only spend the last day for shopping! Really not enough time, so we plan to visit HK again and spare lots of money just for shopping since we covered mostly all of the tourist spot.

Summer sales already on and the things are really cheap there especially apparel!
Awww i love HK so so much!

HK is using MTR, not MRT.
MRT is for Singapore!
