at the moment,i have no idea,what good to buy at there?

any good advise?what to have theremthat msia dun have?

do you guys think,is it more enought to?

Check out my 5D 4N Hong Kong and Macau Trip. Tons of Photos + Videos + Information. I'm still compiling but will keep updating!

nice collections of photo u got there...

can't wait for november to come...

northasian,

hi, the last year i went to hong kong for a holiday, this time i will be going to hong kong again. would like to know you advise on certain things, since you are the pro here...

where is the best place to buy cheap ladies clothing? wanna do some shopping over there.


Is it easy to get to Macau? or guang zhou or shenzhen ? by train?

thank you...

Hi everyone ~ I know this is a bit off topic, but I want to ask about HK Standard of Living.

I have a job offer to go to HK and the salary will be about 28k-30k HKD/mth. Roughly speaking, the standard of living will be equivalent to how many RM/mth living in Malaysia?

I've been to HK for holiday but we all know that holiday is different from living full time ...

You can take HK Airport Express (link 1,link 2) to Central and take the MTR from Central to Mongkok using Tsuen Wan line (link)

It's not hard to find halal food if you do a bit of research beforehand. Maybe this link can help.

HKD 6k is enough for food and some entertainment/shopping for 8 days but not really sufficient if you plan to buy a lot of things/souvenirs!

Thanks! More coming soon!

I am curious...

Do people travel around HK + Shenzhen + Guangzhou as well?

HK + Macau or HK + Shenzhen are common, but what about Guangzhou as well?

Yes pretty common.. I did it what in 2008..Macau>Zhuhai>Guangzhou>Shenzhen>HongKong Macau..

For those wanna try China 1st speed train..Shenzhen to Guangzhou is the starting point haha..There is adedicated thread on those interested on Pearl River Delta...It's cheaper than staying @ Hong kong or macau

I was just back from Guangzhou last week. It takes about three and a half hours to go from Hong Kong to Guangzhou by bus and the bus fare is 80HKDs.

However, Guangzhou is not worth visiting at the moment. Construction is everywhere.

There is a reason for me to visit Guangzhou.

I wanna try the 200 km/h CRH1 train from Shenzhen to Guangzhou

Another option is to take MTR intercity from Hung Hom, but then......i may miss the high speed train.

Just take the MTR to Lowu border & buy the RMB75 high speed train to Guangzhou lor..haha...It will takes ~ 55-1hr to reach Guangzhou compare to ~ 2.5hrs by bus

I think that is a very reasonable salary. Cut room rent around 5-8k per month, 3 meal per day should be around HKD$100+, transport Octopus should be around $100-200 per month, that's a whooping saving of HKD 17-19k equivalent to RM 8-10k. What job is that I also want to work haha. Btw HKD 17k saving is a lot because HK branded electronics and clothing is cheaper than here!!

Hong Kong is a great city to live in man

You really should take up that offer, it's one of a lifetime opportunity

I've a few friends who worked there and they never regret to work in HK

@shoduken >> nothing very grand lah, management post in the finance line.

@antaeus >> yeah it really is a lifetime opportunity. I think I will take the job. Still feels a bit @_@ though to leave everything behind here ...

Hmmm this probably isn't the right forum to ask this in, but work-visa will be taken care of by company. According to this link, "The Hong Kong government has recently changed the law to automatically entitle your spouse to a work visa once your work visa has been approved. We can assist you with the application procedures for your spouse’s visa." --> anyone know if this is true or whether it's been changed or etc? Need to bring my tai tai over too hehe.

hello everyone..
I'm going to HK this july but only for 3 days..
since its a short time visit, can anyone here suggest me places that i should visit..
btw im staying at disneyland hotel..
