Hong Kong guide (Thread 27)

[guerzman]

sa fri na po alis namin. dating kami HKIA 9:55am, then travel to hotel in tsuen wan iwan luggage then OP. ma-enjoy pa ba namin to kahit ilang hrs lang kami dito? may ticket na kasi binili MIL ko kaya no choice kundi punta dito on our 1st day.
gusto ko sana shopping sa tst after OP, may maabutan pa kami stores na bukas pa? esp yung harbor mall ba yun?

tsaka pala re sun & smart sim, magagamit ko ba dun or meron mabibili dun sim?

[rocky]

^dalawa na lang dalhin mong unit sis para yong isa sa roaming para makareceive ka ng text. then yong isa bili ka ng local sim or kababayan sim sa globe nasa HKD50 dami ng call & text yon.

[guerzman]

^ayun roaming pala tawag dun ..tnx tnx

[rocky]

^hehe! magastos kasi sis pag naka-roaming ka, kahit sila ang tumawag & sinagot mo naka-charge din syo yon.

[esor]

^re: OP
sis kung mainit na dun, baka di nyo na masyadong ma enjoy ang OP, lalo na kung mahaba ang mga pila. Nung nagpunta kami dito nung August, sobrang init na, then ang haba ng pila sa mga rides, daming locals na sumisingit sa pila. photo ops lang nagawa namin nun, then yung water show ng 8pm (closing show).

sis Guerzman yung Harbor Mall nagsasara ng mga 9:30-10:00 PM, i suggest you go to causeway bay instead hanggang 11:00 mga shops don, Sogo mall and yung ibang mga boutique sa labas ng Times square.... yung mga luxury stores like LV etc. maaga nagsasara ang mga yan, hanggang 8 lang sila, pero sa Sogo late ang closing nila

hello

we are going to HK next month and I just like to know if meron ba nabibili na micro sim card with 3G na sa hong kong.. or nag offer ba sila ng example 5days 3g subscription.

here in singapore kasi may ganun.. if tourist ka, may option to buy miscro sim card then pwede ka subscribe sa 3g. adik kasi sa facebook so gusto ko sana mga places na mapuntahan namin, maka check in and easy upload ng pictures.

thanks mga sis!

sis princess k meron free wifi ang PCCW for tourists, kahit hindi PCCW ang sim mo you can still use their free wifi, valid for 2 months, all you need to do is to register.  This free trial is applicable to iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Windows Mobile, Symbian and UIQ smartphones and tablets. Free PCCW Wi-Fi trial hotspots can be found at convenience stores, coffee shops, key MTR stations, Airport Express stations, shopping malls and PCCW phone kiosks.... by the way most of the malls here have wifi naman, also in McDonalds....no need to buy sim.

sis violet_dmd_75 san ka sasakay? sa central ba? Maganda yung papuntang Causeway bay or Happy Valley... fare 2.30 HKD

we will be taking our own vehicles to clark since dun ang flight namin going to macau and also coming home from hk. anyways, strict ba airasia sa preggy? need ko ba mag secure ng letter from my OB just to be sure?

also yung octopus card namin sa Macau hindi siya puede diba? pero sa ferry terminal sa HK ba i can have it reloaded na agad? or any other ways of reloading? thanks!

Hi sis, how to register kaya?
Thank you so much in advance

[prettybarbie]

open mo lang wifi mo then hanapin mo yung hotspot/network  na PCCW or PCCW free then click mo lang yon, then register ka lang using your phone number, then magsesend sila ng activation code thru sms, then yun ang gagamitin mo pang log in, once ka lang magla-log in then automatic ka na magcoconnect don. Kung gamit mo yung sim sa pilipinas pede mo activate yung roaming nya before flight para magamit mo sya dito at masend sayo yung activation code, once you register seconds lang mare-receive mo na yung sms. Then pede mo na ilagay sa airplane mode yung phone mo kung ang main purpose mo lang is magkaron ng internet connection.

[skylar-ddm]

salamat prettybarbie!

sa mga nagstay na sa golden crown, pwede ba halimbawa renovated couple (1 double bed) na room lang ang kunin kahit na may kasamang 9year old child?  may additional fee kaya yun or  irerequire nila na yung 3 persons family room ang ibook?  150hkd kase ang difference eh.
