yo ... may 2nd time consult here smile.gif

i plan to go to shenzhen this coming october... so i guess i need to apply for visa ?
and then staying there for 3 days.. and will go to hongkong.. stay there for a few more days... then back msia lo..

my question is quite general i guess....

- how much for the visa to be applied here in msia ? (rm 80 onli ? ) is the procedure easy ?
- from shenzhen ... what is the best transportation from shenzhen to hongkong ? Train ? roughly how much and how long to reach there ?
-after hk visit.. time to back home.. coming back from hk airport... the air ticket is expensive.. so i plan to either go to macau / shenzhen and back malaysia again ... if in this case, from hk to shenzhen .. do we need visa ? malaysia visa or hk visa ? errr hk is china as well right ?


thanks

do we need visas for travelling to hongkong/macau/shenzhen?

also, is it true that there are no prepaid sims for BIS on blackberry in hong kong?

where do we go to meet people in hong kong? ie: bars, expat hangout areas

also, ^ second the guy above, would be great for travelers here to recommend some good hostels for backpacking travelers

hk ,.. no need visa.. china / shenzhen .. yes.. u need to apply one..
ymca nearby yau matei ?


Btw..
going to shenzhen and then will be in hk on 22nd Oct... need some advise from you guys smile.gif :

i will be at shenzhen on 17th ...after a few days there.. roughly will move to hk on 20th but since the stay is getting expensive, i am extending 2 days in shenzhen before completely moving to hk.
So initial plan in hk will be on 22nd October until 25th October
The previous hotel i was staying charges around HKD 500 only but now.. aiks...

so based on that range, my gf found one @Ah Shan Hostel Hong Kong@

http://www-2.ahshanhostel.com/index.php?pa...ck_availability

And charges around HKD 2xx per night onli ...
Since i have no idea on the diff between dorsett and hostel, not sure i am going to which type.....
