hi there again,

do you think that it is okay if we go and see the show on tuesday? coz we reach HK on tuesday. If i'm not mistaken the narration on tuesday is mandarin..pls advise...still working out on the plan...

can we cover :
day 1 - reach at 6pm - check in hotel. then go to star avenue + show at 8pm
=> can we cover peak at night & wax museum - only not able to take a tram right???

OR

day 1 - reach at 6pm - check in hotel. then go to star avenue + show at 8pm
- then walk to harbour city
- visit night market???

i have not decide which hotel to stay yet...

pls help me to choose which best in term of :

near MTR / night market /restaurant...muslim restaurant nearby / got any free shuttle bus service??? i'm bringing my 2 small kids along :

1.Cityview
2.Dorsett Seaview - quite small room
3.Metropark hotel kowloon - not really near to MTR
4.West hotel - not that near MTR
5.Bridal TeaHouse
6.Nathan Hotel
7.Dragon hostel

considering the spacious room for 3 adults + 2 kids. based on the review looks like city hotel is convenient and nicer but dun know if it is near the shopping market or MTR...

hi there...

this is the hotel info :
Cityview Hotel Kowloon
23 Waterloo Road Kowloon Hong Kong

The Hotel Cityview is located in Yau Mai Tei on Kowloon. It is conveniently located just a few minutes from Tsim Sha Tsui, 15 minutes to Central Hong Kong and 45 minutes drive to the airport. It is close to shopping centres and the MTR is just a 5-minute walk away, with the closest exit D. Other public transportation such as buses are also available nearby. The superior rooms are medium, but do…

Anyone stay in this hotel???I think this is the good hotel right...

i will have 3 adults and 2 child but the problem when i try to book online when i type for 3, no room available...if 3 adults usually have to consider for fmly room which is more expensive than oor budget...i dun mind to take deluxe room but the only thing if they find out will it be a problem??? anyone has the same prob with me?

Hi there, anybody know where i can get ocean park and disneyland ticket which is cheaper then dragon hostel rate? DH is selling adults - ocean park - HKD230 and disneyland HKD330. if anyone got it cheaper, pls let me know where and whom to contact with as i'm going to HK 16 march....

just checking who knows where i can change the small currency notes of HKD? I went to NZ money changer but they only give me big notes of 500 & 1000 only.

hi again...just a quick question before going to hk next week...have not finished all the pages from v1 yet...
