1st time there? rmber to go to citygate mall for survey on the items before you start going to other malls! you'll shop like mad in citygate mall  biggrin.gif although they're not latest collection, but still alot of nice items!

also, cosmetics (perfume, facial, shampoo etc) are very cheap there, bring extra money for it  rclxms.gif

1st time..im arriving around 10.30pm, checked with my Hotel, they say i can go to gate b12 at the airport to get a ride to hotel directly in mongkok at 140HKD each. is that the standard rate?

cheap branded if you dont mind off season sales, can go to Citygate mall (tung chung MTR). when you're there can sit tram visit the Big buddha too. another mall is Fashion Walk, there got lot of branded boutiques, some of the clearance items very worth it.

if you wan new season branded stuff, can shop at any mall, basically they are priced the same.

that depends on your shopping power.. i overspent the last time i was there. bring some USD just in case, MYR to HKD rate there very poor, around RM425 for 1k HKD.

food there priced around 25-50HKD per meal with drinks if you eat at normal restaurants. MCD below HKD30 per meal  blush.gif so u agak agak lo

i forgot the rate, but that should be the standard pricing.

when i got off the plane, i board a train to get to another station, then from there u check which bus will pass by ur hotel. then just board the bus  smile.gif but the price i dont know coz my colleague settle for us..
*
hmm need to take train to other station to get a bus? i thought at the airport itself..will see how..tq!

btw, liqour cheap in HK?

hi..this is the reply from the hotel..meaning the b12 counter need to sit the transit to there, or just walk there ah? icon_question.gif
QUOTE
Kindly be informed that the seat-in coach service from airport to hotel could be arranged at HKD140 net per person
per trip. After clearing customs, approach Vigor Airport Shuttle Service Ltd(Counter B12 at Arrival hall B). A bus
schedule is now attached for your reference. And, the payment could be settle upon departure.
Seperately i will be taking MAS and the flight is 645pm..never take MAS..i understand there's a transit from KL Sentral, RM35/way. That transit ticket i can buy when i reach sentral?

And to double confirm, go HK no need visa right? Just the passport? icon_question.gif

Sorry so many question, all my time for the past few weeks used for wedding planning, the whole trip plan has been put aside and the flight is tomorrow icon_question.gif

that time i went i bring along with me just in case, but if your hotel room got safe (which mine had), then can keep it there too..

Remember to bring extra money to shop! haha..

by the way, in case u wanna buy souvenir for friends from disney, HK's airport has a Disney shop for last minute shopping smile.gif and they are doing sales for cookies/candies. 3 boxes for HKD99, which is worth it smile.gif however the items are going to expire in 2-3 months, so remind your friends to eat up fast  tongue.gif

I think I check cosmo d. Quite expensive almost hkd1k per nite.

Anyway thanks bro.

cosmo kowloon? stayed there 6 nights and came back ystday. not bad considering they got hourly shuttle bus to langham(mongkok), china ferry terminal (tsim tsa tsui), kowloon airport express.. also walking distance to olympic station, easily accessible to sunny bay (interchange to disney) and tung chung (to the buddha thingy place).
place is new and clean and exactly opposite 24hour McDonald's smile.gif

free wifi at the lobby as well..


Added on September 22, 2011, 9:47 pmand a stone throw to bus stand also..easy to get to any other place in HK but i guess transportation is easy in everywhere in HK.. but the plus point is i like their shuttle bus service.. everywhere i go..i take MTR back to mongkok station and wait for the shuttle bus to go back to hotel..
