[onefineapril]

^^ah talaga sis! parang wala pang train the last time I was there hehe...  thanks sis! I'll check their site

[em_cee]

sis snowberry,  yun load nyo na HKD300 in one octopus card lang ba and used by everyone na, or one card each person dapat?

[mommynin8]

^1 card per person, sis.

[runbarbierun]

thanks sis flygirl.... i will check on disney website for the rates...btw inputs naman po sa butterfly on prat na nakapag stay. I called their hotel asked for the extra rate for 1 person. Advised will be 4 adults and the operator said  to get 2 rooms....

Stayed there last week. 4 kami, 1 room pero sneak in yung dalawa. Small beds lang so mas okay nga siguro kung 2 rooms kayo pero carry naman sharing masikip nga lang. Be sure to request yung hindi transparent ang bathroom though

hi!  has anyone visited the parks in hk?  as in not theme parks but parks talaga na garden, trees etc.  i saw that there's a kowloon park in tst and a hongkong park in admiralty.  wanna take the kids there sana since wala masyadong parks dito.  any feedback?  are they worth visiting specially kowloon park since taisan is in tst too.  tia!

[prettybarbie]

okay naman ang mga park dito malalaki....yung Kowloon Park may swimming pool pa don where you can swim for 15 or 20 HKD/ person, i forgot na the exact price.... may tennis court din don. Maganda din yung Hong kong Park sa Admiralty, kadalasan may nagpi-picture taking don na mga naka wedding gown, ginagawa kasi nilang venue yon for picture taking kasi may malapit na wedding registry don, nakakaaliw sila panoorin LOL....very relaxing din don, may mga fountain, flowers and trees

Kelan ba ang punta nyo? magkakaron kasi ng flower festival sa March 16-25 sa Victoria Park sa Causeway Bay... suger ganda non....

[prettybarbie]

may i add din pala yung Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens sa Central.... nakakaaliw sya kasi may makikita din kayo dong animals, then at the same time nakakapag stroll kayo sa park, matutuwa mga kids...plus its free!

[byutijunkie]

^prettybarbie, we'll be there on wed mar 21 =)  wow, maabutan namin yang flower festival! =)  so excited!  my kids love gardens kasi hehe.  kahit na parehong boys sila hehe. super thanks!  will definitely visit kowloon park, hongkong park and victoria park! =) 

[prettybarbie]

^ sis yung flower festival sa Victoria Park lang ha

[byutijunkie]

^yup, got that.  btw, paano ba pumuntang victoria park from tst?  sabi sa site, if by MTR, sa causeway bay station daw.  easier ba by mtr or bus na lang? also, is this the same as the peak?  sorry for the questions, 90s pako last nagHK eh.  tia!

[prettybarbie]

iba sya sa peak sis, di ko pa na try mag bus papunta don lagi MTR sinasakyan ko. Pede ka bumaba sa Causeway Bay station exit E pero lalakad ka pa ng mga 5 minutes or baba ka sa Tin Hau station exit A 2, 2 minutes walk lang nandon ka na

sis i just want to share this to you...it might help you http://www.hongkongextras.com/_parks_and_gardens_hong_kong_island.html

Sis, I'm planning on booking sa Disney Hotel (don't know pa which one).  4 adults kami and 1 Kid.  Pwede ko ba sneak in na lang and kid ko?  Parang kasama sa count kasi sa 4 persons and kid (allowed number nila sa rooms).  Sayang naman if we book pa 2 rooms, mahal!

[theflygirl]

^I've stayed at both but I haven't tried sneak in anywhere. Not sure Lang if allowed since all occupants are asked to be registered. And yes, 4 ang limit per room.

@onefineapril

Read at the website that the Ocean Express Train at Ocean Park is temporarily suspended from Mar 5-23, 2012.  When kayo punta, sis?

[onefineapril]

^nakita ko na rin sis! nakakatuwan naman at may train na at mas nakakatuwa... April pa naman ang punta namin

hindi ko pa na-bo-browse ng bonggang-bongga yung website nila... may bayad kaya yung train express? 

[vgie]

Hi does anyone tried to sneak in sa YMCA Salisbury... I have checked their website meron pang available na Harbour view room for May 1 to 4. Then will transfer na lang sa Hongkong hollywood hotel for 2 nights... i'm computing kasi the price rate of butterfly on prat plus the extra person halos same rate lang for the disneyland hollywood if getting the early bird promo of 45 days...
