Sweaters too thick to wear during daytime, I think you better bring more light long sleeves tops + a jacket is better. Don't wear 1 single thick clothes 'coz you can't take it off when feeling hot, you'd better wear light inside, then bring along jacket which you can put on when feeling cold, more flexible.

It depends on your cold tolarence. Many girls in HK wear skirt without leggings/stockings.

yup i will.. i dont really have many thick clothings and i was about to shop for it but my bf told me not to do so as i might find better and cheaper deals in hk or shenzhen ( i'm going there for a day trip).. i think i can bear the chilly weather there if the temperature is similar to genting's ...well hopefully i could... plus not much shopping can be done as most of the retail outlets are selling winter clothings now.. sad.gif

maybe... I didn't check it up. But it have countdown events on Canton Road for the new year for sure.
Shop for long sleeves tee or pullover is alright, I guess won't be too expensive gwa? I used to shop winter clothes in M'sia ZARA or MNG when I visited my bf there during HK's winter time.

HK/Shenzhen surely have more choices, but better bring a few pieces just in case you can't find your favourite here on the 1st few days.

Believe me, during day time really not cold at all... 3/4 sleeves or short sleeves + jacket is enough for some strong girls..
No, can't rely on boy's taste... should go shopping with him then ask him to pay~ brows.gif
ZARA's quite nice ma.. their sale items are not too expensive, at least cheaper than TOPSHOP~!
Yep la, actually I agree with you.. I go shopping with bf I always pay for myself, unless he said he wanna buy for me (most of the time it happens when he thinks the clothes fit me but I don't like, he will say buy for me, haha~) I support your view, can't rely too much on bf..

You too le..? hehee... Rich enough then doesn't matter la...

But I use to offer to share some cost of trip la.. he pays tickets + dining cost, I pay accomodation and for myself shopping.. fair enough la~
*
but if i buy too many also not really practical for me cos i don't really travel much for now.. yes northasian.. my bf will voluntarily buy clothes which he thinks is nice on me.. but he will be reluctant to buy if he thinks it doesn't suit me.. my bf and i haven't reached the big 2-1 yrs of age yet and i'm glad that we are able to make it for this trip.. we haven't learnt how to earn a penny yet but spending already..that's bad ler..so gotta save..can't really spend much cos we are not working yet... but accommodation and food i think we don't really have to spend much on since his relative is there... but 2 weeks there will make me go broke easily..! cry.gif

If still studying then better save.. as I said, long sleeves tee plus a normal jacket like fleeze or windbreaker is ok, which you buy and can wear in M'sia if air-con too cold in indoor ma, it's not gonna be wasted, right?

1 more thing, if you buy in Shenzhen, please do bargain the price AT LEAST HALF of it on the 1st go!! Stick to your price, don't "soft heart"!! If they don't agree your price, leave right away until they ask you back with the price you ask for, ok? This is what my colleague taught me, haha..

I don't know Shenzhen 'coz I haven't really been there before.. but you must bargain 'coz they overprice very much one. They scold then just leave lor, their rude is their culture..

But for HK, I can tell the price in Lady street, Temple street will be overpriced to tourists. Choose to buy in those stalls with fixed price written publicly lor.. if not, gotta bargain but don't cut too much la..
有骨氣 - TST has,

小肥羊 - Mongkok has,

稻香 - everywhere,
http://www.taoheung.com.hk

Amongst them, taoheung is cheaper I think.

CX strike result will be known on this Thursday... check it out:

hi all, is it ok to get some information regarding Macau here? I couldn't find the thread for Macau..

i'm planning for a trip to Macau this coming December.. is the place worth going in the sense that there are lots of interesting places for sight-seeing, shopping etc.?

anyway, does anyone know which hotels are near to the city and the rooms are in good condition with a reasonable price?

i'm probably taking the air-asia hotel package.. not sure if it's cheaper than if I book the hotel separately on my own...

please help! smile.gif

For macau, the hotel rate on weekend stay (friday and saturday night) is much more expensive than nornal day.

Hotel Sintra is not bad

Hi people,

I need some help.. I am still deciding whether I should go to Macau or Guangzhou..

I have 5 days to spend.. I want to fully utilise these 5 days that I have.. Therefore, I would like to know which place is more interesting in terms of shopping and sight-seeing..

I am quite interested in visiting Guangzhou but I think it is not so convenient to travel to HK from there and it requires visa right if I am not mistaken? As for Macau, it is easier for me to travel to HK from Macau as compared to Guangzhou.

Please let me know if you have any good hotels in these two places to recommend

Would appreciate if anyone could help me out smile.gif
