Slightly cheaper meaning after deducting VAT? How do I get VAT waived ?
Looking at the depreciating RM against HKD, would the savings be eroded by the time I travel in Oct? rclxub.gif
*
HK is tax free hence there is no VAT to be deducted yea smile.gif

Oh you are going only in Oct...Oct not much sales...the sales will be only on winter clothes (unless you wanna buy winter clothes)...

Hmm it depends on the rate too...I bought my Tag last year Oct, KL price was 6.5k...i bought it at 5.8k... Bought my Tissot last month...KL price was 1.9k...i bought it at 1.5k... you see the difference now? hehe smile.gif)

Tq. Another silly question, in kl, which tissot shop u use as benchmark and at what disc rate?
*
you can try mid valley GF there is a Tissot shop there...their price quite standard..not sure bout disc..but if you have frens working in Tissot, maybe they can help u to get 30% discount smile.gif

Ok - i plan to go HK to bring wifey to shop and eat. what are the best shopping places that i must go ? and best place to stay ?

day 1- women's street

day 2 - causeway bay, mongkok

day 3 ?

day 4 ?
*
Day 1 - Ladies Street, its at Mongkok..hence you may also go to Fa Yuen Street if you want coz its next to each other...

Day 2 - Causeway Bay is at HK island...Mongkok you can move back to Day 1...Causeway Bay you can go Timesquare..i personally think its nice place...everything they have there... Or can go to Central too...

Day 3 - Can go to Tsim Sha Tsui, Harbour City is also a very big shopping mall...

Day 4 - Depends what else you wanna do smile.gif

Staying around Mongkok / TST / JOrdan i think is all convenient...if you wana stay at HK island, a bit more expensive lor smile.gif Yau Ma Tei also ok...can go to temple street too...but nothing much to buy lar..just like our petaling street smile.gif

remember last time took from mongkok to citigate..around hkd230++...its for 4 person with 2 large luggage, 1 medium luggage, 1 small luggage...

for 5 days ..depends on how much and how far u r going to travel..you can reload more coz any expenses at 7-11 also can use octopus card. smile.gif you wont lose anyhow..
