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!

Hi stalkie, I've read your blog of the HK trip. You've covered most of the spots and food that people and I mentioned in this thread huh~ The Japanese restaurant that your friend took you to eat in TST is called Watami, which I've indeed included in my #1 post before~ Nice, isn't it? I am a fan (and indeed a member) of this restaurant chain too! hehee..

Also thanks Stalkie for sharing your trip blog with us btw, do you have your "family room" picture to share ?

I'd like to know more about "Octopus card for Tourists". It's stated in the website
http://www.octopuscards.com/consumer/help/...ts/en/index.jsp

2 types available:-
HK$220 1xAirport Express Single Journey
HK$300 2xAirport Express Single Journey

questions are:-
When we return the cards when we leave HK, we will get HK$50 refund for the card. In other words, it actually cost
HK$ 170 (220-50) 1xAirport Express Single Journey, and HK$ 250 (300-50) for 2x Airport Express Single Journey.
Is my calculation correct?

besides that, is there any credit inside the card when we purchase it at HK220 or HK300?

i believe those who have experience can help...
Other than that, is there a second option? i.e. normal octopus card? how much will it cost? thank you.

i search at google said is 3-pin but just wanna confirm
