hi hi.. northasian..

i've read all d posts on this thread..
wow! some posts side-track to LDR..
but i really respect u all in LDR...
wish u all n ur loved ones will be forever always...

another question.. i heard tat cny is oso d coldest time of d year in hk, is tat rite?
do i need warm winter jackets? or jus normal cardigans n sweats?

hi mad dog.. thanks for ur reply..

oh no! tat cold?!
so far.. i checked d net, it says abt 12-17 degrees.. ?

should i bring really thick winter jackets?

oh oh.. so meaning d forecast of 12-17 degrees is not correct.. poor things.. all freezing there now..

oso, mostly i heard ppl would visit d flower street during cny..
r there still a lot of things to see during chor 4?

hehehehe.. forget how cold is it ady..
haven't experience 12 degrees in a long time..

anything interesting "must-see" things/ plcs during cny in hk?

hi northasian..
how's d coldweather?
u still wrapping like a dumpling to work?

hi hi..
was missing in action for a while.. wasn't feeling well.. d flu bug is everywhere..
weather in hk during cny was cold.. bearable n it was really nice to walk around in d cold weather..


stalkie,
think i can help u wif tat..

fr macau airport to macau jetty, it's about 10-15 mins.. quite near..
u can take d bus (bus no. AP1) tat goes to d jetty.. u check d sign at d front of d bus or u ask d driver..
tat would cost u abt MOP3.30 + MOP3 (for luggage)
i'm not sure wat time would be d last bus.. ?
if u take a taxi, i think it should cost abt MOP60 to d jetty..
u can use hkd currency in macau..

"i think" there would still be ferry service till midnite, 15 mins apart..
if u wanna go to Mongkok, then u need to take d New World First Ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui jetty..
from there, either take d MTR to Mongkok or taxi.. depending on ur budget..
Taxi should be abt HKD 30-40 (depending on ur luggages too, cos they charge extra for luggages.. )
tat's d fare to somewhere near Ladies' Market.. i dunno where exactly is dragon hostel, so d taxi fare might be different..

hope tat helps... enjoy ur trip!

from the NWF website, the last ferry from Macau to HK is 20:30 on weekdays, but the last one is 00:30 on Sat, Sun and HK Public Holidays.

exchange rate between MOP and HKD is a bit difference, but I don't know how much.. just a few dollars difference only.

northasian, really enjoyed my trip.. d food was realli realli nice!
u r so lucky.. so of cos, comparatively to msia, d price is quite expensive..

one thing i would recommend.. to try d egg tarts in HK.. !
lotsa my frens din really try tat when they were in HK, cos they tot it was jus normal food..
but it's really a big difference.. cant find such a good tasting egg tart in msia.. hehehe..

stalkie,
according to northasian info, on weekdays, last ferry is 2030.. when r u arriving?
maybe u should go according to ur plan to take a ferry to sheungwan.. or maybe central..

one suggestion, if u wan a more scenic ride, u can try to take d Star Ferry fr central at Pier 7..
then u can see d wonderful night lights of both tsim sha tsui n central.. nice view..
but might be lesser light decorations as they would probably haf taken out the cny decoration lights ady..

like wat northasian mentioned.. MOP and HKD is slightly different.. but if it's MOP60, u would still have to pay HKD60..
hehehehe.. they will earn slightly more if u pay HKD...
