QUOTE(bearbear @ Apr 15 2013, 11:58 PM) 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. I'll be in HK in 19 June to 26 June so it's 8 days 7 night 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 want to go lamma island, Ngong ping 360, oh never forget disneyland as well |

QUOTE(alex_siong @ Apr 16 2013, 02:03 PM) Both hv package for 7days for data using. 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 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... |

QUOTE(bearbear @ Apr 16 2013, 02:44 PM) You need to buy - Required HKD50 refundable deposit as well but if your return it within a short period charges will apply. How long consider short period? how about 8 days? hehe.. if i don't return i can use next visit when i go to hk again right? have any expire date for this octopus card? |

Hmmm just booked my hotel in central hong kong
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? |

QUOTE(bearbear @ Apr 17 2013, 05:54 PM) Fare table 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..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. |

QUOTE(bearbear @ Apr 17 2013, 06:26 PM) 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 but duck tongue like hmm abit hard for the to accept how it taste.. HK have minimum spending per pax? around how much?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. |
