no particular, the whole stretch of escalators (and intersection) is full of restaurant, western, jap, french etc
wat u wan... u name it, they got it
---
in mongkok, at intersection of Fa Yuen and Dundas Street... go to 肥姐小食店 Fei Jie Snacks Shop.
its every easy to spot, as a lot of ppl are queuing for the snack.
ask for the octopus~
---
between ocean park and disneyland, i will choose disney... more fun~
all of the themes are located next to each other, less walking...
and many programs too... all lining up for u, some serve every 15min
note: @disneyland a lot of adult playing their games, so no worry~
---
choose ocean park, if u like PANDA!!! Dolphin!!! and ZOO (underwater)
their Extreme park park is better than Disney and more suitable for adult.
mind u, a lot of walking~ uphill downhill circling left right and got lost
---
Macau... 3stars & below is around HKD500 (RM200) for double bed and locate near Ruins of St. Paul's

I think if u like harbour view, its better go to
1) Arena of Star, @Tsim Sa Tsui 7:30pm
2) The Peak, Lion Pavilion Lookout on Findley Road. 6:30pm
3) The Peak, Sky Terrace 428 7:30pm
Both place offer Symphony of Light, started on 8pm.
Mind u, the peak is really far for the symphony, not the best place but the aerial view is just magnificent.

1) Peak - Hiking Trails, Sunset, Hong Kong Night View (Can view the other side of Symphony of Light)

2) @Peak hv 2 building complex just across the road called Sky Terrace & Peak Galleria.
Sky Terrace - Tram Station & buy souvenir here, better than rip off Ladies Street.
Sky Terrace - Madame Tussaud Wax House, 2 floors... Bruce Lee is FOC
Sky Terrace - Restaurant, some of it is facing harbor... best place for candle light dinner.
Sky Terrace 428 - Need ticket! Roof top where u can view Hong Kong at highest place. (8pm!)
Peak Galleria - Shopping Complex, Playground, Dam Lookout Point.

3) I assume u will be arriving at Macau and depart at Hong Kong Airport.
@Macau - City of Dream show (12pm-8pm) MOP50, River Canal at the Venetian Macau, Macau Tower, Ruins of St. Paul's. [Casino provide Free Mineral's Water and Shutter Bus. U can travel from Macau to Taipa or almost all other casino for free]. For 3persons better use taxi, its cheap coz Macau is small hehe
@Hong Kong - Ferry to Hong Kong/Kowloon? Where u stay? dont take wrong ferry~
For shopping and others, please read HK Guide, look for Shopping Malls and Eat.

4) Mongkok is where are all phone/toy street, ladies street, shoe street & temple street located.

5) Lan Kwai Fong and SOHO @Centra-Mid Levels Escalator is actually few block away. U can goto SOHO then LKF. Ohh hopefully u prepare at least HKD500/pax for your dinner here

i doubt u able to visit all the place... since u r going to macau too.
my advise choose wat u like more, skip the rest
[best to buy a good shoe, u goin to walk alot]

@y_owez

Hotel along Salisbury Road @Tsim Sa Tsui, facing harbor
1) Sheraton HK Hotel & Tower
2) Peninsular
3) The Salisbury - YMCA of HK
4) Hullett House Hotel

Disclaimer:
Doing this for fun, and I only been to HK/Macau for 1 time.

I heard we can pre purchase ticket from DingDing and asked them to delivered to da hotel...
Anyone did it b4?

Ticket for Ngong Ping 360, Ocean Park, Disney, Peak (Tram + Sky Terrace + Madame Tussaud)

please head to trip advisor for all hotel/hostel review...
http://www.tripadvisor.com.my/Hotel_Review...-Hong_Kong.html

Just to update...
DingDing will give 1Crystal + 1Normal Voucher, once you reach NP360 to exchange the voucher to ticket.
they will give u a special wrist band for crystal ride.
It is a 2ways crystal ride

Highly recommend to take crystal, you can reduce the queuing time a-lot...
But the scenery is nothing special, just sea, hill and some hiking trails at the bottom.

i think it is better to move Monday to Thursday...
tat mean u hv to do Disney first and NP360 on last day.

and if u wan, u still can get drunk on Wednesday and still make it to NP360 the next day...
fyi, NP360 is really small and simple, u probably need 2hours max to visit all.

the other advantage is Wifey Biscuit will still be fresh when u touchdown KL...

cha chan teng, hemm... there r too many... just like mamak stall in MY, just choose one
if u r picky, u can head to the infamous Kam Wah Cafe Polo Bun, Prince Edward, Mongkok 3pm
>> note: i didnt try this cafe, so no comment... btw they said Dan Nai is better in HK than Macau, i didnt try tat either

Not possible to go to 2places in 1 day...
Please take note, Disney have random closing time. depend on the festival and month
so choose the date with the longest opening hours, and enjoy... hehe

just in case u really need $$$ in China/HK, u can ask ur family/frenz to TT money to u.
max cash is RM1k for M2U... more info >> M2U TT Cash FAQ

sh*t happen... i know, i too hv some bad experience
nevermind la just b careful next time
take care~ & enjoy da trip

if u opt for NP360, u can keep your baggage @citigate's locker, locate at B1 & B2 (below supermarket).
very convenient~

This post has been edited by lucaswjk: Nov 14 2012, 07:47 PM

can shop too

there r alot of free wifi provided, some are by HK Gov...
so far the place i hv tested...
1) Airport
2) The Peak's Galleria
3) Arena of Star (near Starbuck)
4) Most of Hotel

both oso can, but bus will be recommended...
high frequency, faster, nearer, and cheaper... just goto citygate bus station

1) I know someone bought note1 in china, ended up... high quality fake.
2) No international warranty for phone/camera (unless u wan grey unit).
3) If buy from official samsung's hk, the price will be the same in msia after conversion.
4) The oni advantage, u get 32G+LTE options (LTE phone make sure is 2600MHz + 1800MHz).
5) Learn how to read android's setting/about page. Dont get con for 16Gb/32Gb confusion.
---
if u dont mind no warranty, 32Gb + LTE is a good choice
and worst thing happen... just pay for the repair fee
---
if u dont wan LTE, msia 16Gb selling rm1799 (2years warranty)... and 32Gb oso
(im not HP seller, PM me if u wan to know which shop selling cheap2)

never like agoda, they have hidden charge...
this year i book a service apartment (2Melaka) via them,
agoda written the price rm450, after made the payment... final price shown rm500
DAFAQ!!! RM50 EXTRA!!! I will never book from them again

i confirm it with the owner, even the owner recommend others... such as booking.com

the problem is... i do not know what is the hidden charges... they never specified it
they shown the price 450, then I proceed entering my cc#, click complete
boom... thank you for 500 payment bla bla bla...

this is my situation la, and at the time i tot mayb i need to pay for the international exchange rate coz they r thai company... i just accept lo... never really occur to my to investigate further...
ofcoz i m not happy coz the hotel is in msia... why there is international rate different when im using msia cc#.
due to various reason and i need the hotel during CNY, i didnt care much at the time.
just noted to myself, never book from them again...

hemm.
u cant do it this way... if u going to overnight @macau, it will be very hard to squeeze Disney in on the next day.
remember u need to check in immigration too (sometime very long queue) and u need time to check in hotel (normally noon) before u can head to Disney

my previous recommendation cant fit into your literary?

btw if u fren arriving early, they can head to Ding2 for the tix first... and mayb Langham Place if got time

Yes > If u plan to watch the live show, panda and the aquatic zoo only
No > If u plan to include Ocean Park Tower ride, cable car, roller-coaster, and other themes game... the last time i went, ocean park is full of chinese tourist... the 5min queue can become 30min long... and i went on weekdays
(the queue is really a turn off )
---
one think i dont understand, why u all paid hundreds of dollars for the entrance fee (disney/op) and didnt wan to utilized the days? there are alot of event/game/show prepared, enuf to occupied u whole day...

If u just wan to stamp ur arrival, u better take a pix from internet and photoshop urself into it...

ok mayb u will say im kiasu, but i really enjoy the game and the show...
and i wont blame u, if u r going with elderly...

5day hong kong oni
6day hong kong + macau
8day hong kong + shenzhen
9day hong kong + macau + shenzhen
+1day if u r shopaholic
+1day if ur arrival time is on afternoon/night
+1day if ur departure time is on morning
---
if the hotel expensive, use hostel ~RM90 - RM150/pax/night
if u wan even cheaper, use dorm ~RM60/pax/night

---

Added on November 25, 2012, 4:29 pmwhen buy tix across country, dont buy return on same country
eg arrival in macau, depart from hongkong
macau, hongkong and shenzhen have their own airport
