hi all,
I am going for a 5D 4N Macau Experience on 26 Oct. I am planning to go to HK for one day by ferry. 1) What if i need to buy "Tourist Day 1 day unlimited" or Octupus card in MRT train? 2) Do Ladies street sell cheap clothes n bags? how much? eg. NIKE/LV I went to Mid Valley yesterday to exchange currency but they have only HK$1000. Not hv small notes. Wonder why? Where i can change small notes? Thanks. |

Factory Outlet @ Tung Chung, some shopping mall/shop @ Central/KowLong/Mong Kok or HabourCity Mall @ Tsim Sha Zui maybe, night view for The Peak (safe to go there as juz 2 of us), Avenue of Star, Victoria Peak (star ferry), and the "wax muzium" (?) any other places for shoping or must-go places that i missed ? the "Wax Muzium" was located at The Peak? the Tung Chung factory outlet was around there also? if yes then i can spend a day around there... Wax Museum is in the Peak as well. there's an area for free gaming, as well. guys will sure enjoy  you may want to check local travel agents, some times they have promotion for entrance ticket for the wax museum. |

From/to Macau to/from Hong Kong by ferry, does it require passport for the arrival/departure. Is there always a long queue at the immigration counter? Thanks |
