Added on September 10, 2012, 1:49 pmnow im in HK at harbourview hotel... their service is not so promising... bcoz i thought they'll give us free wifi.. instead the wifi is charged 40$/hour.... luckily i got free wifi from nearby hotel... but the room is so comfortable... for muslim, i suggest u to go to masjid ammar near wan chai road becoz the food is good and tasty,..... hahaha

just went to ladies market near mong kwok station... super cheap... just bought 6 tshirt "I love HK" for $100 and 1 purse for $50. you can bargain a lot at LADIES MARKET
1st - ask price
2nd- ask discount
3rd - leave (but dun too fast)
4th - wait for they shout at you for their last price..
5th - bargain for $5-$10 dollars more..

p/s - their price will usually half or more of the price they said

It leads all the way to mid-levels....but i think most tourist stop around SoHo anyway.....
where have you covered so far? TsT to MK right? have you tried Tung Chung yet? for night view, i highly suggest going to West Kowloon Promenade, although it's quite empty there, but the video over looking the HK island side is a lot better than cramming up around TsT....

if you can't seem to get a taxi while getting out from the promenade, you could walk to "Elements", it's about a 5-10 minute walk away anyway....
*
yup... i guess you know HK better than the locals out there... biggrin.gif
i did go to avenue park.. there's a long way to walk through the park nway. but you can see clearly the buildings and the cruise ships. biggrin.gif
was great than wasting my money on peak tram though.. hmm.gif

I got frm an agency for 350 only.

I went temple just now. Nth special la.. It's like our petaling street...

Went forever 21 in causeway bay. No sales not very cheap....

Later going city gate then Disneyland.

im just a backpacker and i did not bring enough money to go to disneyland. too expensive to me. tongue.gif
but if you go on october, the price will be $259. so pity that im not long enough to be in HK. sad.gif
nway, compare to ladies market and temple street ,which one is a good option for you? if temple market is not a good option, i would rather go to bed and watch movie in my hotel. laugh.gif

just one advice.. if you looking for cheap2 things, go to ladies market.. as far as i know, it is the best market i ever been after go to temple street and stanley market.. but make sure you go early when they start open the business. if im not mistaken i go there at 3 o'clock. if you go around 6pm-8pm like i did on my second trip, you wont bargain much..
