[blackgreen]

^super mainit nga daw kapag summer. Summer nagpunta yun kapatid ko.

@sis snowyice, ilang araw kayo sa HK? Saan-saan niyo gusto magpunta?

[theflygirl]

I've visited HKG June and August, crazy hot! Even Sept! Hot or raining like there's no tomorrow. I like HKG in winter. Love it esp with all the fashion & Christmas trimmings. It didn't cross my mind that school's out & the planes are crazy full!!! Last Dec nga pala 1st week Ang visit ko kaya maluwag pa.

 An April visit of ours was still cool, too, at 20deg. Perfect!

[gorgeousmama]

^^kung yung dinemolish, new world centre shopping mall nga. Na-demolish Ng 2010. 'twas right beside sogo.

sis looks like yun na nga yun , lol, ang tagal naming ngtalo ni hubby about that coz my argument nga wasit was still in good condition to be demolished eh, saka ang gaganda din ng store, in fact me nabili pa nga ako nun na i recvd lots of compliments

sabi nya yung barricade daw na nasa tabi ng Avenue  of stars it was the site where it was erected.

yeah 2009 december ng nandun kami,

me too sis I love HK during december bec. of the  weather and the xmas trimmings plus ewan ko ba

Godwilling we will be back next december

[freelancebuddy]

excited na ulit ako next year, gusto ko ulit bumalik ng hk..dati plano ko after ng hk, bangkok naman..kaso nung nagpunta ko sa hk, instantly hooked na ko. dun ko ulit gusto pumunta. goodluck naman sa budget, naloloka na sa gastos si bf kasi ibig sabihin nun eh, join na naman sya!

[auburn]

hi mga sisses!  ngayon na lang ako ulit nakapagpost after ng HK-Macau trip namin last Dec12-15.  naging busy kasi sa ofc and all.  hay, ang sarap ulit bumalik dun but sana next time kami na lang ni hubby and my son.  ang hirap pala ng big group kasi hintayan nang hintayan.  we stayed in goldern crown and this was our itinerary:

day1:  flight, nan lian garden, the peak, madam tussauds & sky terrace
day2:  macau
day3:  ngong ping & disneyland
day4:  tst, mongkok shopping, flight back to manila

when we arrived nung monday Dec12, super lamig din.  i had winter jacket tapos layering din.  if i'm not mistaken it was 11degC that day.  nakakatuwa mga tao dun, galing ng fashion sense nila, boots kung boots!  di na ko nag-effort to bring or buy boots kasi baka mahirapan ako kasi ang daming lakaran ang ginawa namin.  i wasnt able to shop around or even go to mongkok kasi i had a toddler in tow.  lagi syang nagigising mga 830-9am.  di ko na rin sya ginigising nang maaga kasi every night nakakabalik kami ng GC earliest na is 10pm.  tapos di sya nakakatulog maghapon kaya pinababayaan ko na syang makabawi ng tulog.

i also included in our itinerary yung symphony of lights and avenue of stars kaso sobrang natagalan kami sa the peak.  ang haba ng pila, grabe, tapos tulakan nga, parang sa mrt natin.  Nadala nga ang hubby ko eh, parang ayaw nya nang bumaba...hahaha!  When we went to Ngong Ping, sus me, ang haba din ng pila, pero hindi pala, meron palang special lane for elders coz free sila for the holidays.

overall, our trip was a really good experience.  so thankful coz di umulan.  when we left it was hot already, nasa 18degC na lang pala, so carry na pag nakalong sleeves lang.  sulit din ang stay namin at golden crown coz literally tulog lang ang ginawa namin dun.  sobrang okay din ang pinay na nasa reception.  i think her name was lina.  she was very accommodating.  she let us use the laundry area na may cr for my toddler coz we need to wash his bottoms and change his diaper.  she even lent us a towel to use.  i know hindi inooffer ang area na yun sa mga guests nila. 

thank you sa lahat ng mga advise and tips, nairaos namin nang maayos ang trip namin.  special thanks to sis rocky for your kindness and patience.  God bless and merry christmas to all!

sis 27-31 naman kame mag abot tayo 

possible naman ang day trip sa Macau 1+ hr ang byahe mo yun lang di mo talaga ma enjoy ang HK. at sobrang pagod na kayo nun pero kung wala naman kids & senior citizen kung PIPILITIN and deadma na sa pagod pwede naman.  experienced ko before haggard na haggard ako sa mga pictures kasi pinilit namin ang Macau & di namin masyado na explore ang HK kaya ngayun HK lang talaga kame.

10AM Finish Immigrations in Macau
Take Free Shuttle or Public Bus to Fisherman's Wharf
12NN Go back to HK Macau Ferry Terminal

hi sis!  our flight to HK was 8am, we arrived 10am.  pero on our way back to manila dapat 6pm, delayed flight namin, naging 8pm sya.  both flights pala were PAL.  good thing maganda ang HKIA. 

[rocky]

^^agree, mas ok kasi sa macau at least overnight. maganda kasi don lalo na sa gabi

[snowyice]

@auburn  ah ok.  I'm just checking the time kung paano gagawin ang IT ko.  Maganda talaga HKIA naligaw nga me dati dun. I told my friend nga dun kami magshopping kapag naubusan ng time.

[theflygirl]

Only thing accomplished in HKG was buying 3 le pliages at the LC store in terminal 1. Good thing may 15% discount si hubby kaya naka-less around US$60 kmi. Pwede na for gifting lang naman. Didn't have enough time to go downtown. Too bad. Sa next trip na lang.

[gorgeousmama]

ako naman finally nakabili ng goyard bag sa Peninsula and nakapag  shopping din ng konti

plus i visited again yung mga tourist spot like THE Peak, Avenue, ayaw na ni hubby

mg Disney, but syempre go pa rin ako, hahahaha
