sorry mine not suitable for most of ppl, solo traveler
 super free and easy mode... imply i can waste whole day doing the same thing or done 3days itinerary in 1day and my walkathon can start from early morning to midnite... left with 4hours of sleep the next day... and repeat the cycle... on drunk day i slept for 12hours... even crazier, i ate heavy breakfast and then skip lunch and dinner to complete the day... surviving on water alone is no fun...  --- ok enuf of bullsh*t... learn to user "Search Topic" in this thread, keyword is itinerary... mine is there too and include macau prefer u can check other too, after u highlight/draft ur own... come back here again many sifu here r enthusiasm to crosscheck ur activity... no worry --- why? 1. No spoon feed 2. Ur preference and likes is very subjective. We are not Tour Agency with fixed itinerary... some like shopping, other like clubbing, mayb food and scenery... 3. If there r mistake from ourside/yours... u can always have plan B. eg. not enuf time for certain day, u can skip it... too much time, u can include other plan  4. seriously... more fun and excited when DIY... |

QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ Nov 29 2012, 12:09 PM) ur frens arrive 12pm (approximately add in 45mins for luggage claim, custom clearance, etc).. it depends cz sometimes very long q.... n u arrive 5pm (add in 45mins).. time distance between ur frens n u is quite long leh i can't think of anything to go unless ur frens go to Citigate.. cz if i'm ur fren, i rather go for a walk rather thn sitting in the airport cafe for few hours (quite bored) unless i'm alone thn it's different story la.. btw tat is my feeling la.. some ppl might nt get bored waiting.. (chatting, having tea, wifi'ing at the cafe) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « anyway by the time she arrive, she will be too late to shop... and the frenz will be tired --- the things in citigate even they said is out of season sales, still not really cheap i still think jalan2/yumcha @hk airport really worth of it |

Giant Buddha and Wisdom Path, after that U can hv ur 'vegetarian' lunch @Po Lin Monastery tues - ocean park, the peak (u can c nite view) The peak, please note dont go later than 4pm, a lots of ppl queing, btw u can always by pass the queue, goto the counter and purchase 3in1 combo tix (Tram, Mdm Tussas, Sky Terraces 428), soho/lkf (i personally prefer soho thn lkf cz lkf is ntg to shout about.. perhaps it's like the signature of hk places so every1 like to flock over there to haf a look )Me too at anytime i will choose SOHO over LKF  wed - macau I think Macau Tower hv world tallest bungee jump, remember goto roof top too thurs - wat time u reach hk? tot of suggesting u go harbour city, avenue of star.. nite time c symphony of lights Clock Tower is there too |

QUOTE(ChrisWeiYuan @ Dec 27 2012, 03:27 PM) JUst to seeking advises here. May i ask how much should I change for HK dollars for a trip of 5d 4n? i think basic meal (wanton mee/chicken rice) including drink per/person is HKD 20-60 (~HKD50)It's a couple trip. Excludes flight and hotel cause these are already settled. transportation HK50 per/person day (~HKD50) entrance ticket please check the DingDing price i posted somewhere in this thread shopping ~ your normal shopping price +/- 20% |

QUOTE(ChrisWeiYuan @ Dec 27 2012, 03:46 PM) IN this case, If i am planning to bring Rm2000. Is it enough? yup... why not...since u r going as couple i personally think ur budget will be very tight (RM2.5 - RM3k will be just nice) i recommend bring some MYR as spare... if u need it u can change at money changer... @Disney/Ocean park, the meal price is not cheap... 750ml mineral water is price between HK20-HK25 (~RM10 per/bottle )and the food there... depend wat u eat... x1.5 - x2 normal price recommend: prepare u own water and some light snack b4 going u will save a lot, skip ice cream and soft drink tootat one not including hk-macau-hk transportation and ur casino entertainment fee This post has been edited by lucaswjk: Dec 27 2012, 04:45 PM |

QUOTE(jimmyysk @ Jan 16 2013, 06:27 PM) I'm planning to go to Hong Kong this coming May with my wife, 2 kids, my parents in law, brother and sister in law. For you guys experience went before to Hong Kong and Shenzhen what are the safety precaution need to pay attention. unfounded rumors I heard from my dad that his friend told him, his friend brought whole family to Hong Kong and his friend two daughter missing in Disneyland when they went to toilet. After hearing this I feel scare to bring my kids to Hong Kong. My kids only 6 yrs old and 2 yrs old. Heard from internet about HK radio got people call in telling that Shenzhen got people go into the public or shopping toilet and hit by some stranger until fainted. Steal the victim kidney, or heart for sell. How true is this? hk is very safe...and it is impossible for it to happen in disneyland itself... otherwise we will hv world disney scare, everyone will paranoid bring their children to the da park --- while i cant said the same thing for shenzhen, if u do follow this thread, one of the forumer unfortunately lost her wallet to pickpocket... other than tat, nothing more... hei malaysia famous for snatch thief, so wats to complain... --- man.. u scare of alots of thing, then u cant do anything. just becareful... and some advise or precautions... 1) normally when travel, money is their first target... -> dont show ALL ur money -> keep ur money in many location -> learn to use safe box, or keep it at secret location... eg. secret belt compartment not under the hotel bed, can be discover by cleaner~ -> dont let anyone help u holding ur important belonging. 2) take care of your food / drink -> dont drink alcohol -> if u suspect someone spike ur drink, or it taste funny... dont drink -> prepare ur own drink/food 3) plan ur transportation ahead -> use reputed taxi company (a lot of fake taxi in china) -> dont use illegal van -> bus and train are the safest -> oni buy ticket from counter, never from 'agent' -> dont plan trip tat last until night, wake up early and go for earliest possible trip 4) b polite, dont offence local... remember u r tourist and r on holiday there r many more tips tat i cant list... conclusion, be smart~ This post has been edited by lucaswjk: Jan 16 2013, 11:27 PM |
