Hong Kong guide (Thread 24)

[london]

just arrived this morning in hk. ang init na dito! haha manipis na cardigan lang gamit ko but pinagpapawisan pa ko hehe

[blackgreen]

^sis london, sabay tayo, morning din kami dumating sa hk.

@sis princess lorraine, nung bandang hapon na medyo malamig na. Close ko na nga lahat ng buttons nung jacket na dala ko, pero naka flip flops lang kasi ako kanina. Haha..

Ewan ko ba, di ko masyado naenjoy ocean park kanina. Siguro kasi wala masyadong english language kapag nagppresent sila. Hindi ko tuloy naiintindihan. Dun sa trainer's talk ng sea lion, pinanood ko na lang yun sea lion kasi wala ako naintindihan sa talk.

oo nga sis eh. last week anglamig, bumaba pa sa 10degree nung sat.. pero this weekend malamig na uli.. late na nga masyado winter eh.

[prettynvain]

waaa! napapaisip na tuloy ako kung anong degrees sa Jan 27 pagpunta namin! Sayang pag bumili ako winter clothes tapos di naman na pala ganun kalamig. 1 week before our flight na lang ako bibili siguro ng damit for HK, mahirap na, sayang sa money pag di ko magagamit.

sis, malamig on Jan.27 for sure.. chinese new year eh.

i sent an email to ken of taisan. talaga bang mas mataas yung rates na ibibigay nya compared sa rates na nasa site? we'll be in HK on March 6-11. he's offering HKD 600 for the triple room and HKD 500 for the room with 2 single beds.

ok ba dun sa renovated burlington branch? i tried to book din sa golden crown but as early as now, fully booked na sa dates kung kelan nasa HK kami.

sis, if you want sa causeway bay? nakalimutan ko name ng hostel, pero nung nagbook ako for my cousins hkd700 binigay tapos 1double deck at 4single beds plus 1 pull-out. own t&b.. malaki as in.. i remember maaga ko sila pinabook kaya mura binigay sa akin. tapos yung deposit 1night lang hiningi.. yun eh kung madame kayo.. i'll pm you tom the name.. 2 buildings sila... i can help you if ever kase ibobook ko rin mga friends ko arriving on feb 25.

@sis rocky
thanks sa tip regarding sa boots. i was able to buy one kanina pero di sa central, sa mongkok. dami din dun. i got 150hkd then meron ding mga 119hkd. super mura! dami pang styles available compared dito sa tin. =)

dami ding sale na winter clothes. bibili na kasama ko for our trip to beijing november of next yr (exag sa aga! haha) pero kasi diyan sa atin pahirapan talaga. if meron man, ang mamahal =) as for me, baka jacket lang. di kasi talaga ako lamigin.

@blackgreen
cebu paciic ka din? enjoy!

hi sis prettynvain!

[princess lorraine]

sis marose, thanks so much sis i'm gonna bring trench coat and light jacket as well. i don't want to underestimate the weather baka mangatog naman ako. hehe i really hope that there will be no long queue when we go to Crystal Jade tomorrow. i emailed our hotel to ask if they can get a reservation for us. in fairness to them, they really tried naman. but unfortunately, Crystal Jade does not accept reservation on weekends daw they asked me if they can just make a reservation for us on monday instead. eh we are scheduled for citygate shopping and disneyland on monday eh. so we will just try our luck at Crystal Jade for lunch tomorrow.

sis blackgreen, thanks for the reply sis. sana malamig pag dating namin para magamit ko yung trench coat and boots. haha

[blackgreen]

^^yup sis. Cebupac din. Baka nagkita na tayo. Hehe..

^you're welcome. Magagamit mo naman yun trench coat and boots mo kasi malamig na kapag pahapon. Kagabi nga ginaw na ginaw kami sa ocean park kasi naman jacket lang panglamig ko. Haha..

[rocky]

I'm excited with all the low prices on winter clothing y'all are mentioning here. Hope I can find a good pair of boots.

[prettynvain]

^i'm sure can sis. dame namang nagkalat na boots..

[prettynvain]

^yup sis, pwedeng pwede.. peak na ng winter yan. 

[london]

went to disney today. sobrang daming tao! may nakasabay din kaming mga school kids na nag fifield trip. really enjoyed the new ride, yung parachute drop. di kasi ko mahilig sa extreme rides so eto tama lang. gusto ko pang umulit kaso haba talaga ng pila =)

btw, ask ko pala mga sis if san mas murang bumili ng longchamp. sa flagship store nila or sa airport? no idea kasi talaga. bigla na lang kasi may humabol na gustong magpabili. tia.

[blackgreen]

^sis, same tayo, nasa disney din kami kanina.

Nakakapagod ngayun araw na ito. Dami namin napuntahan. Super lamig kanina sa Ngong Ping, ang lakas ng hangin, 11 am kami dumating. Tapos disney na after. Kapag pala manonood ng Golden Mickey dapat nasa harapan. Mahirap manood kung yun mga nasa harap mo may hawak na mga camera.

Nagpunta rin kaming Ladies market. Grabe makipagtawaran. From 380 na bag, binigay sa amin ng 125.
