Your suggestions are so helpful sis anika08! But I was wondering how you were able to book Cosmic Guest House. Can't find it in agoda.com. Help!

Thank You anika08 and rocky for the reply summer pala that time I thought medyo malamig parang mas maganda kasi kung naka winter outfit lol! Pricey din pala sa disneyland hotel, medyo nagdadalawang isip tuloy ako since tutulugan lang naman namin hindi ba mahirap papunta and pauwi from clark airport?

[rocky]

^medyo nakakapagod sis. kasi unang punta ko ng macau, tiger air sinakyan namin. as in ang aga mong gigising kasi byahe ka pa papuntang airport then hintay ng flight tapos byahe na naman sa plane. parang buong araw kami nagbyahe mas lalo na siguro pabalik ng manila, wala ka ng lakas non kakalakad sa hk. hehe!

1.5 hour plus fare pa sa bus. kung konti lang naman difference mas ok kung manila na lang kesa clark

definedelirium ~ Sis, I was wondering how you made your payment to Hop Inn. Do you have Paypal or you gave them your credit card details? I don't want to use Paypal and I have issues with providing them with my cc details.

Hi sisses!

My husband and I are 2nd timers in HK. However, this is the first time that we will be going with our 22 months old son. It will be our first time to visit Ocean Park. Last time we're in HK, we only visited Disneyland. My question is, is there a particular attraction in Ocean Park we should visit first? We want to maximize our time there and I believe that Ocean Park is a little bit huge, separated by mountain etc.

Thank you in advance.

hi diwata, my older sister was the one who paid for the hotel but she paid via credit card. they don't charge you until you actually get to the hostel (because you have to swipe it there, sign the receipt, etc) but you have to provide them your CC number plus a scan of the card and an ID. for paypal payments, they charge a 10% downpayment/reservation fee.

Got back from our Hong Kong trip last monday! :-) Grabe we had so much fun! Highly recommended talaga ang Golden Crown Guest House...medyo maliit ng koti ang room pero everyday nililinis at accommodating ang mga staff (yung mga Filipina)...tinuruan pa kami kung paano kami pupunta sa mga lugar na pupuntahan namin :-)

Medyo mahigpit na naman ang immigration nila dun sa mga Filipino travelers...kung group kayo, mas better kung magkakasunod kayo sa line at ipakita niyo agad return tickets to manila at yung reservation sa hotel

[porkchop22]

Hello!  Got back last week from HK. Ang init ng panahon.  Grabe!  Nakakainit ng ulo pag mainit!  Nakakapagod nga ang magkasunod na araw na DL and OP.  4 days 3 nights lang kasi kami kaya no other way but to go to these places on our 2nd and 3rd day.  Sa OP we rented wheelchair for my mom.  Take turns sila ng son ko ride.  Buti we rented because ang layo ng attractions from each other and up and down ang walking path sa OP.  Unlike DL na magkakatabi.  But still, better if rent stroller or wheelchair.

Kulang ang time namin for shopping kasi after DL and OP pagod na kami...  Sa Sasa lang kami marami nabili.  We plan to go back next time for shopping and food tripping naman.

The weather forecast was very accurate.  Next time, cold season kami punta.  Sunburned kami lahat despite sunblock lotion. 

Next time also we will not stay in Mongkok na.  Definitely TST na! and sa hostels na para tipid.  More allowance for shopping. 

Hindi naman mahigpit immigration sa amin.  Gusto lang nila kanya kanya hawak ng passport.  Sa mom ko lang nagtanong kasi China passport hawak nya.  Hindi naman humingi ng return ticket, nagtanong lang saan pupunta after HK.  My mom answered going back to Manila.  Ok na.

We also planned to go to Nan lian Garden on our 4th day morning.  Kaso tinamad na family ko kasi pagod na nga tsaka they want to shop for pasalubong na lang. 

Eto pa, di ko alam kung sobrang excited or sa pagod lang. Kasi we woke up early 4am for our flight at 8am... nadelay pa ng more than an hour ang PAL.  kaya nun 1st night ko sa HK, di ako nakatulog.  As in nakapikit lang ako the whole night pero gising ang diwa ko.  Mom ko din di makatulog.  At 3am we decided to go down and walk.  We bought milk at nearby 7-11 (24hrs).  Just when I was able to sleep na, nagising ako bigla sa snoring ng mom ko at 5:30am.  Ayun, di na ulit ako nakatulog.  2.5 hours lang siguro total hours of sleep ko.  Kaya sakit ng katawan ko sa whole day of walking.
