very easy to follow nga lang ang MTR dito.  nakarating ako ng Tung Chung Citigate outlet, tapos nagpunta ako ng Langham Place, then to Jade Market pabalik dito sa Causeway Bay.  Kapagod.  Yong nakita ko na G-Shock na kulay kanina pabalik ako ng hotel (6pm) wala na ng dumaan ako ulit kaninang mga 830pm.  Ang bilis ha!

Hi po! Done with back reading and since matagal-tagal na panahon na rin yung pagpunta ko dati ng hk (1996), hehe under british colony pa...ang dami ko na miss sa hk. Come May 2014 balak namin celebrate ang 7th bday ng son ko, question po...when it comes to transpo, saan kami makakatipid, sa mtr or taxi nalang? We are 4, me, hubby, my 7 & 3 years old sons by then. Dati kasi alam ko pag commute ng mtr from causeway bay, e baka ngayon ibang iba na ang hk. Thanks in advance

Definitely mas tipid sa MTR sis.

Hi mga sis.. Question lang.. We're plannng to book our hongkong travel via agency.. And with our package may kasamang complusory city tour.l worth it ba yun? Ano ano mapupuntahan dun? Tia!

[runbarbierun]

^ No sis, jusko wag na. Usually trips na ganun kayang kaya niyo i-DIY. Eto lagi pinupuntahan nung packaged tour: Avenue of Stars, Victoria's Peak, Floating restaurant in Aberdeen, Gawaan nung jewelry. The biggest rip-off is usually it's mandatory to pay the tour guide 50 HKD EACH regardless of age.

Wag na sis! Lugi ka pramis.

[sublime1]

Thanks mga sis.

Actually eto kasi yung quote samin nung agency:
3d2n stay at silka far east with daily hotel breakfast-- ok ba dun mga sis?
Compulsory hk tour (tipping is not required)
Macau tour with buffet lunch, with rt transfer from hotel to macau
Disneyland tour with rt transfer
Rt airport-hotel transfers

All for 260usd per person, so mga 10k each. 5 kami lahat mga sis. Ok na ba yun?

[prettybarbie]

Sis from the name itself malayo ang hotel na yan, its in Tsuen Wan malayo sya sa mga tourist attraction... Kelan nyo ba gusto pumunta ng Hk? 10k each for 3D/2N is actually not bad. Ang kagandahan nga lang ng DIY sarili nyo ang oras nyo at di kayo nagmamadali.

Transpo RT to Macau - mga 300hkd
Disney ticket admission fee- 350 or 380 hkd
Hotel per night let's say HKD 500- bale 1,000hkd

So nasa 1,700 hkd na lahat yon... Kaya pede na yung 10k pesos each, yun nga lang konti lang yung mapupuntahan nyo. Kung first timers lahat pede na din siguro para hassle free. Pero make sure na inclusive na lahat ng fee sa babayaran nyo.

Hi, I've read that Sands Casino is running a promo for free return ferry ticket from Macau to HK. Bali sagot mo yung ferry ticket from HK to Macau then they give you this complimentary ticket when you earn 6 points on their casino games.

If someone can just enlighten me, sabi kasi sa mechanics...
"Visitor or Sands Rewards Club member who has a non-Cotai Water Jet Ferry Ticket (HKMAC only) and accumulate 6 points on slots or table games at Sands Casino on/ before 11:59pm of the following day of the sailing date on the non-Cotai Water Jet Ferry Ticket (HK->MAC) will be entitled to redeem a return Cotai Water Jet Ticket (MAC -> HK)."

Afaik, we just have TurboJET and CotaiJET ferry services from HK to Macau and vice versa.

So pag sinabi ba na "Visitor or Sands Rewards Club member who has a non-Cotai Water Jet Ferry Ticket", Can we just buy TurboJET entry ticket to Macau to qualify?

TIA! Sorry long post.

OT: sis, may sale nyan sa metrodeal

[akireyhoj]

^Thank you sis kaso nakakadala bumili sa ganyan

[Diane]

-anong mga murang kainan with Golden Crown?
- safe ba magdala ng stroller sa Disneyland? what if we will take the rides, pwede ba sya iwan na lang?
- safest water na pwede mabili for baby and saan pwede mabili?

[prettybarbie]

^ Safe magdala kahit san Bawat rides or attractions may stroller parking area...
Safest water for baby? Punta ka sa baby's section ng kahit anong grocery, Watson or Mannings... I think kahit anong distilled water safe naman for baby. Actually you can also buy in any convenience store like 7-11 or Circle K.

Hi mga sis. Question ulit. Kasi nga pinagiisipan namin if iaavail naman yung tour via agency or DIY na lang. Eto kasi yung mga balak namin activities:
1. Disneyland
2. Oceanpark
2. Macau
3. Ngong Ping
4. Peak tram

How much kaya aabutin per activity na gagawin namin? How much dapat iconsider for transpo? And how much kaya pwede namin ibudget sa food? TIA
