QUOTE(BigHeadBear @ Feb 23 2012, 11:37 PM) Welcome to Hong Kong That the reason I choose this one.I am sorry as I never stay in hostel/hotel in Hong Kong, so I have no idea if it is good for family to stay. However, the location is unbeatable for sure and you should be easy to travel around ... hope you will have pleasant time in here |

QUOTE(singdreams @ Feb 27 2012, 10:40 AM) hi guys, if want to stay in HK, how long we can stay without VISA ? Nationals of most countries do not require visas and can stay for periods varying from 7 days to 180 days, depending on nationality. If unsure of status, check with any Chinese embassy or consulate. Please check the details about visa requirements on Immigration Department's website. MALAYSIA 90 Days |

Just back to KL (24hours ago).
For Muslim friend... there is a lots of halal restaurant around Kowloon. Just prepare the money cos it's more expensive but worth to eat. Every day I eat rice there. They even can delivery at no extra changes. I have some menu and addresses. I will update on my own blog soon. |
