^ sis you can use your BDO card in any ATM machine, kahit sa machine ng Hangsen, HSBC, China Bank, Standard Chartered.... may charge nga lang na 150? or 200? pesos per transaction kasi international card sya. Pero meron BDO Bank sa Central, may ATM machine din sila don 20 pesos lang ang charge per transaction.


cassidy02  mahal talaga pag october lalo na at last week kasi Halloween, and yes super dami ng tao mapa weekends or weekdays....

sis cotton if it worries you, sabihin mo sa friend mo padalhan ka ng "invitation letter/affidavit of support" na notarized ng Philippine Consulate sa HK, madali lang ang pag process non 2 days lang ang pag process. Then yon ang ipapakita mo sa HK immigration pag dating mo dito. Kung first time mo siguro baka tanungin ka kung san ka mag stay dito sa HK, so just in case pagawa ka na lang ng ganon sa friend mo.

super tnx kay rocky, eischied_21 and prettybarbie...atleast nawala worries ko...tnx talaga..

summer_princess, we bought the Disney and Ocean Park tickets from CTS. Sa HK airport ito mismo. It's at booth A04 if I remember it correctly. Dulong dulo sya.

princess loraine, success ang 1 adult declaration ko sa Marco Polo.

Unintentionally, I booked from Agoda yung 4 days stay namin (3 adults and 1 child) sa Marco Polo Hongkong. Pero good for 1 adult lang pala iyon (my child stays for free). Nakatipid ako sa 2 adults na kasama ko (my husband and yaya).

RE: Marco Polo HK, ang laki ng room! 2 double beds kami. Super satisfied ako sa hotel kasi sa mismong baba ng hotel meron 7-11, money exchange, old spaghetti house, Cafe de Coral (food court ito na mura pero masarap), the hotel's just beside Harbor City Mall (where Toys R Us is), walking distance to the MTR station (Tsim Tsa Shui), walking distance to Avenue of stars (kahit baduy haha), 2 blocks away ay Shakey's (crave na crave ako dito kasi wala pa nito sa SG), very friendly lahat ng staff ng hotel.

Mas napagod kami sa Ocean Park than Disney. Uphill kasi ang Ocean Park. Sa Disney kaya naman na whole day matapos lahat (rides, shows, parade, character meet and greet). Pero pagod pagod talaga. Hindi na kami nakapag fireworks kasi 7pm umulan na. Thankful din ako kasi 90% ng stay namin (Sep 4-7) ay hindi umuulan. Cloudy palagi.

^For 3 nights, USD 743.02. But note sis na nagkamali ako ng booking dyan ha. For 1 adult lang talaga iyan plus 1 child. But we were 3 adults and 1 child nung nag check in kami. Hindi ko na dineclare ang extra 2 adults. I just requested for 2 double beds :P

^oo nga eh. Happy ako sobra sa Marco Polo. Kung babalik man kami, I'll book at Marco Polo HK again. Kahit siguro sa gateway ok lang. Magkakatabi naman pala sila. And gitna sya ng Disney and Ocean Park. And it's 160HKD away from Victoria Peak. Nag cab na kami niyan kasi super pagod na. Last day kami nag Victoria Peak. Few hours before our departure.

Sabi kasi ng call center nila, they can only allow either 1) 3 adults or 2) 2 adults and 1 child. Maximum daw ito. But happy ako nakalusot talaga hahaha Tipid!
