depends on what you are going for actually, 4k range is more for fine dining, michelin restaurants i think.

actually for hk it is very easy to walk around yourself but u need to know where you wan to go. for 9d i think you can consider going to macau as well. find the tourist center and you will get alot of help there. with a map in hand you can basically plan and walk urself.

there is a special rate for using octopus card and if u travel frequently on mrt it will really be a hassle to buy single trips tickets.
*
I'll be in HK in 19 June to 26 June so it's 8 days 7 night tongue.gif Ya i'm thinking going to macau for day trips feel like visit 360 macau tower revolving restaurant but it seem like if i'm going to that for dinner its advice for me to stay overnight in macau right?

i want to go lamma island, Ngong ping 360, oh never forget disneyland as well tongue.gif I don't think i wanna go ocean park since i been ther once but it was like 10 years ago lolz..

Both hv package for 7days for data using.
Advantage of one2free is 5gb data,
Disadvantage is no wifi.
Advantage of pccw is unlimited wifi usage,
Diaadvantage is only 1gb data.

If u use for call only then both work fine...
*
actually i think of one2free because i'm going 8 days i think of subscibe 30 days usage at HKD88 with only 1gb usage also sad.gif

Hmmm just booked my hotel in central hong kong smile.gif Now air ticket confirm and hotel is confirmed. I will be staying 8 days 7 nights in the same hotel i guess if i go to macau also i will go at morning come back at late night since i found out hong kong macau ferry is operate 24 hours.

My hotel is a 5 minute walk from the Peak Tram Station and a 5 minute drive from Macau Ferry Terminal. Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center is a 10 minute drive away so worst case i take cab from Hong Kong also won't be that expensive right?

Fare table

First 2 kilometres (or any part thereof) HK$20.00
Every subsequent 200 metres (or any part thereof) and every period of 1 minute waiting time (or any part thereof)

Not sure what are the rate for mid-night.

If you are into cosmetic stuff (Sasa / colourmix / angel) - survey the prices in Macau before buying in HK. My gf found that Macau is slightly cheaper.
*
hmmm.. roughly how much you both spend in macau? any idea how much i should budget in macau excluded gamble la.. because i dont feel like going to casino also.. and in macau can spend hkd right but when change they will give macau dollars right i heard its not that worth so better spend all macau dollars before going back hong kong..

haha trust me its good - i nvr enjoy it but i love this dish. They deep fried it first before frying. Awesome dish to go with beer thumbup.gif

Another thing was the attitude of Cha chan teng in Macau - we only ordered the pork bun MOP18 for 2 to share they nvr make noise about that. In HK they always have this minimum spending per pax. wink.gif
*
but duck tongue like hmm abit hard for the to accept how it taste.. HK have minimum spending per pax? around how much?
