Hong Kong guide (Thread 27)

[rocky]

^sis, wala naman nakalagay sa bus kung ilang stop na. hehe! basta along nathan road yan.

[prettybarbie]

i think ang ibig nya sabihin is bibilangin yung stops ng bus.... i think tama yung pang 17th stop kasi nung don nag stay yung friend ko mali daw nung don sila bumaba sa 13th stop

[guerzman]

@rocky, yes sobrang bitin nga eh. ewan ko ba parang nag-aksaya lang pera MIL ko. Nagulat na lang kami nakapagbook na cya eh.

@prettybarbie, meron kaya lv dun and H&M, yun lang kasi balak ko bilhan..hehe

[yezzi]

^ MTR kasi kapag bus ipo-fold mo pa stroller mo

Thank You pag summer ba dyan as in super init talaga? need madala ng hat, sunblock?

[prettybarbie]

^ yes super init, actually not mainit as in maaraw, but mainit na ma-humid, malagkit sa balat

^^ sis guerzman wala H&M and LV sa tsuen wan

[rocky]

^^unang punta namin ng hk summer, super init sis kaya hindi ako masyadong nag-enjoy sa OP. mas madali ka kasing mapagod kakalakad. last year, november ako pumunta & mas masarap maglakad nakakarelax kasi mala-baguio ang weather.

[kidsrepublik]

yes po, that's what I meant yung pang-ilang stop ng bus, thanks prettybarbie
sige will take note of that and yung landmark na standard chartered bank

another question, actually cebu pacific related. if nagpabook ba ko sa cebu pacific (office nila mismo sa megamall) sa mall, same lang ba ng rate sa online? na-max out na kasi credit card ko I can't book our flight

[crybaby05]

our flight is on august. 6.45pm sya. estimated time of arrival is before 9pm. may magagawa pa ba kami sa gabi? o konting lakad na lang around the area near our accommodation? tia

[rocky]

^pagod na rin kayo nyan sis for sure, pahinga na lang para may lakas kayo kinabukasan sa buong araw na lakaran.

^^sis kidsrepublik, pwede namang over-the-counter sa BDO or iba pang payment method. pagdating sa payment, aside sa credit card may iba pang option para hindi ka na pupunta pa sa office nila.

[prettybarbie]

@kidsrepublic pareho lang din ng rate, pero if you book online may additional 100 pesos for web admin fee... If you want to book online but cant use your credit card, you have the option naman to pay thru banks or bayad centers within 24 hours, so hindi mo na kailangan pumunta sa office nila, it will save you time and energy. Or if you dont have access naman sa computer, you can just call the customer service hotline to make booking, same payment method din either credit card or thru bank.


@crybaby05 may kasama ba kayong kids? If wala you can stroll around Lan Kwai Fong, buhay na buhay ang lugar na to hanggang madaling araw, it is the main party street on the island. But it's the decent type, not the ones with hookers around. May mga restaurants din dito (thai/chinese/japanese/filipino/indian...name it!), meron din bars, disco... you can see a lot of people here, iba-ibang lahi, i always go here if i have time, it is a happy place and i enjoy watching people LOL.

So excited for our HK trip next month July 19-22. Punta kame ng cousins ko to go shopping since sale. Mga sis bitin kaya trip namen? We will arrive July 19 (thursday) at 5pm sa hk, tapos uwi namen Sunday 11:10am. Di naman kame mag ttour or sight seeing, shopping lang talaga.

[rocky]

^kung shopping lang sis keri na yan

[kidsrepublik]

Wwow, pwede pala ganun sa cebu pacific?
Bakit hindi ko ginagawa yun, haha! Sige will do one of your advices

Excited nako.... kaso naguulan na, naku sana wag umulan on last week of Jul 
I have my 2 nieces with me and my baby, good deal ba talaga pumunta sa Fa Yuen st Mongkok? I mean maraming kiddie clothes and shoes? Sa SG kasi marami kami nabili for them, pro I'm hoping cheaper sa HK. Nababasa ko kasi na ok daw sa Stanley, kaso walang specific stall or shop kung saan ko hahagilapin ang $5 na overruns, at syempre malayo den.

[crybaby05]

prettybarbie and rocky, thanks for the input

[khaesj]

Oo sana wag umulan sa HK ng end of July. Ano ba weather dun ng mga around end of July? Mainit ba or pa rainy season na?

[rocky]

^don't worry sis, summer yan sa hk & super init

[khaesj]

^^ Thanks! Mas gusto ko mag tiis sa init, kesa sa ulan. Hehe

Question pala, how much money kaya will I need? I'm thinking around 300-350 usd for shopping money (I'm thinking of shopping sa h&m, cotton on, tapos mga unbranded clothing). Food, hotel and transportation expenses would be shouldered by my tito and tita. Okay na kaya yun for shopping during the sale season? (I have my cc in case of emergency)

[prettybarbie]

350 USD is more or less 2,700 HKD... Okay na rin yan, in H&M you can buy a simple tank top for 50 hkd if on sale, and dresses usually around 250 hkd and up... But if you want bonggang bonggang shopping then siguro mga Hkd 4,000 up.

[mommy_cel]

tom is our trip na.  so excited.

it says in the weather forecast it will be rainy by saturday pa.  tom is sunny/cloudy.  thur and fri are both hot.  so sana totoo yung forecast sa binigay nyo sis na link.    kasi may 2 year old baby kami eh. yung daughter kong 5.5 madali lang kasama.  pag may baby mahirap ng konti, mabigat pa naman yun. hehe

[esor]

^enjoy your trip 

^mag summer na sa HK, ang summer sa kanila, super init din, parang kasing init din satin.
