since you are staying at grand waldo, then drop your luggage there
*
but i wont be actually stay in the hotel, im spending my time at SPA literary for 12hours
the question is, does grand waldo provide baggage drop point (i dont mind paying), and is there any time limitation (like 11pm must collect)?

btw do u know how much is the spa cost at Grand Waldo?
I read macau.com is MOP188 then some said MOP440... rclxub.gif
and is free buffet still applicable? drool.gif

QUOTE(mugenz @ Oct 4 2012, 02:46 PM)
Food that i really recommend will be,

-Australian Dairy Co @ Jordan. Its famous for their scramble egg, ham and toast breakfast set.
-Clean the street food @ Dundas Street, mongkok. Fei Jie Snacks for Octopus with mustard and sweet sour. Lots of other street food like beef brisket, pork spare parts and etc.
- Sek Heong Yuen @ Central. Roadside under stairway kopitiam. Quite like their Sour lemon Sprite + Instant noodle with luncheon meat and ham in tomato sauce.  Toast also not bad. Also by far they serve the best Milk tea biggrin.gif

just found out citigate is the same place at NP360 & disney & airport...
and there is locker to rent for our convenient too.

i dont think i will cut short my disney night show for citigate,
headache...
1) goto citigate after NP360
2) or rent locker on final day, then shop (save time and transportation cost)
.
.

hmm.gif mayb i can save some time on this part? can get extra 1 day trip

ohh can i do the whole NP360+citigate on my last day?? my flight is on 17:45

during last year end of oct - mid of nov i was there...that time many things to buy no matter for guys or for girls..i sapu a lot of RL polo tees...but most of the shops (besides RL)...most of them selling winter clothes coz end of the year, hence nothing much to grab...but the things are really nice and worthy!!!!

then during my trip this year end of june to beginning of july..nothing much (or shall i say nothing nice) for me to grab...RL still selling the same polo which i bought during oct - nov 2011 with the same designs, same colours & same price!!  rclxub.gif  lacoste nothing nice too that time... even burberry having like 40% sales..those items are like past past past seasons....

NP 360 is not "that" big..i remember went there bout 9-10am....and came down to citigate bout 12.30 - 1pm.... took crystal cable car too  biggrin.gif

Planning to buy 1 DSLR for Hong Kong trip. Please recommend place to buy at Hong Kong since saying cheap in Hong Kong. Is the price different so much in Hong Kong and how about the warranty?

Warranty > R U prepare to buy 'Grey' camera/lens? try to look for international warranty if possible or if u know someone that can repair/service camera/lens, then go all the way to grey zone... hehe

Try Mei Mei Motel, Kowloon. It's a budget hotel, like a guesthouse.
I've stayed at there before and will be staying there this coming Jan too.
Cheap and clean too! A few minutes away from Ladies market and MRT.
The lady owner is very fussy about cleanliness and noise and actually warned our guy friend against any hanky-panky business in his room...  whistling.gif  LOL.

i read from traveladvisor, the most recent comment is their toilet. Its stuck.
U cant flush the toilet paper, luckily they do provide the dustbin for it.
But imagine... after u/other finish da stuff... ur toilet paper stay there until the next morning sweat.gif

Dec/Jan is SUPER PEAK month, u r lucky if u able to book... now

Hi,

I am going to Hong Kong in November.
Heard some of the forumers went to DIng Ding agency to gets a cheaper ticket when they reach HOng Kong. Will they run out of tickets when we go there? because the travel distance is so near. Like the first day you will go to Ding Ding to purchase the tix, then the 2nd day u plan to go peak/ocean park.
*
From wat I see, it won't... they r selling 22k of tickets every month.
And don't buy Disney meal coupon. The set meals is not worth of it and u can only claim from 3 restaurant. There r much better choice.

QUOTE(wyen @ Oct 28 2012, 09:11 PM)
Not a problem. I bought the tickets on the day we went to ocean park

I bought on the same day too cool2.gif

Hi guys,  the 3 of us will be going to HK in December,

bout 5 days.

Please recommend hotels that are in good location ( 3 girls ),
1  likes to shop ( branded also can )
1 like to drink and eat
myself  would like bit of both + disneyworld or ocean park?

1 day we reserve for macau ( do recommend a hotel )

what other things should we go to?

1 - harbour view
2 - macau
3 - lan kwai fong? ( prefer lounge / bar not clubs )
4 - disneyland/ocean park?
5 - eat at mongkok ( ppl say one )

thanks in advanced!

other than lan kwai fong...
if u hv deep pocket, u should try Central-Mid Levels Escalator (near LKF)...
majority of the customer is Caucasian.
Feeling like in Hartamas during its prime time.
