Hong Kong Guide (Thread 31)

[Miss Charcoal]

By the way mga sis tanong ko lang pag gumamit ba ng Credit Card sa HK may additional charges kaya yon? TIA 

Depende sa CC. Metrobank may 1.++ % at Citibank naman 3.5+ % foreign service fee.

Sis Kinski,

Below are my comments - IMO.

mar 22, friday, day 1
***10 pm arrival Macau -


mar23, saturday day 2
***whole day macau
***travel at 7pm to HK

mar 24, sunday, day 3
***whole day Disneyland
--- ladies market if there's still time
--- walk around tst

***mar 25, monday, day 4
- ngong ping village
- the peak

--->Super magkalayo po ang Ngong Ping Village at The Peak. Pero if you'll do half day only sa NP360 pede naman.  You can still go to both places.  If I may suggest:

The Peak+Ocean Park
Disneyland + Ngong Ping

930 PM flight to mnl

Need your inputs/suggestions on the following:

1. where can we buy tickets for disneyland and the peak upon arrival at day 2 at around 8pm?
--->depends where you stay, trusted source of discounted tickets are CTS and Golden Crown, the guesthourse where we stayed
2. should we do ngong ping village before disneyland?
---->yup, mas advisable
3. coming from macau,we will be staying sa HK sa flat ng friend ng friend ko, i dont know her personally. would there be any problem with that sai mmigration?
---->as for our experience in HK Immigration, walang tanong tanong, ang dami kazing mga tourist na nakapila..tatak lang ng tatak, but di natin alam bka ma tyempuhan kayo na maghanap ng place nio where to stay.  I think what's best is an invitation letter from your friend, their address and ID and passport na din ciguro. IMO.

good luck and tanong ka lang

I never experienced the foreign service fee with Citibank in HKG or in any of my travels. Is this new?

[runbarbierun]

^^^ May free shuttle ang Airport Express to hotels.

[pampam2]

@sis Kinski even dito sa atin sa Immigration medyo strict na, hahanapan ka ng Hotel booking kaya you need to present talaga detailed invitation kung saan kayo mag stay. 

[pampam]

Thanks! So from airport San station kami bababa ? Kowloon ba? Then mag ride ng free shuttle going to hotel?

[runbarbierun]

Kowloon sis, then hanapin mo yung kung anong free shuttle sasakyan niyo (depende kung saan hotel niyo):

1. depende na din siguro sa pagod namen from macau if we can still insert NP sa Day3. If not, pwede kayang on day 4, the peak then ngong ping village?
2. no time na to book hotels since me rugby event on the dates na we will travel there. i asked for their complete info na lang and a letter just in case.


Thanks a lot. il definitely ask pa.

[runbarbierun]

^ Kung late departure time niyo to Manila, I think pwede The Peak then Ngong Ping. Kung hindi baka pwede Ngong Ping tapos ikot nalang kayo sa Citygate.

[Miss Charcoal]

I never experienced the foreign service fee with Citibank in HKG or in any of my travels. Is this new?

Sis, baka depende sa card or sa status mo sa kanila? Sa parents ko Citibank Classic Mastercard gamit nila. 3 - 4 months ago namin ginamit.
Yung Hong Kong trip namin may charge pero nung Cambodia-Vietnam wala.

[snowflakes08]

^ I used Citibank last week in HKG wala din foreign service fee charge sa akin. I checked din sa online. 

By the way mga sis tanong ko lang pag gumamit ba ng Credit Card sa HK may additional charges kaya yon? TIA 

pampam2, in Giordano and FACES they asked me if I want to be in HKD or PHP charge sa credit card ko. I chose PHP kaya depende sayo what currency you want and if the shop offers it too. H&M and SASA only offers HKD charges. 

[longing]

I'm currently in HK and staying in Mongkok. Medyo mainit na, compared last time kasi CNY kami nagpunta. There are areas din na ma-traffic kasi weekday, nag cab kami from The Peak to Mongkok coz our daughter was too tired and fell asleep, mahirap naman kargahin from Peak to Central station.

[yikee]

Finally after 3 years makakabalik na din ng HK.. Research mode ulit, nakalimutan ko na yung mga pag commute dito

^ Pagdating niyo sa HK day 2 sis, baka maabutan niyo pa bukas Harbour City (mall).. or ikot ikot nalang around TST pwede rin. MAC makeup, and yung mga Japanese brand (K-Palette, Dollywink, etc) sa Sasa mas mura rin.
