another question pala mga sis, nung nagpunta kami ng SG, yung friend namin na based dun pinahiram
na kami agad ng Hi simcard kasi kahit daw sa wi-fi di kami makakaconnect if yung globe simcards
lang gamit namin. same din ba sa HK? do we have to buy a simcard there para maki-wifi sa GC?

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ no need to buy sim. You can connect using any wifi-enabled phone/gadget.

[rychel07]

^thank you sis

jermein, you might want to check Imperial Hotel along Nathan Road. Ito malapit sa kainan. 3 MTR stops lang going to Wan Chai (gimikan) or puwede din kayo kumuha ng hotel sa LKF area since gimikan area din ito. This hotel is just few steps to Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station.

ailea, sa Wan Chai ang napuntahan ko lang ay Joe Bananas and Mes Amis. Ang ayaw ko lang sa area na ito ay dadaanan ko ang maraming mga Pinay na 'you know'. Sayang hindi ako nakarating sa LKF.

little_princess, we stayed at BP International (Austin Street) for a night 3 weeks ago. It was 648 SGD (around 21k pesos per night). Walking distance to Jordan MTR and parallel to Nathan Road ito.

Wanchai is tambayan ng mga prostitute, ibat't ibang lahi, andito yung mga clubs na puro GRO.... Mas desente sa Lan Kwai Fong.

[yapeegurl]

^hahaha yun nga din napansin ko. Hindi bale. Next time LKF naman try namin

Hi mga Sis.  ano ba difference ng Disneyland Hotel and Disney Hollywood hotel?  TIA!

[prettybarbie]

Mas malaki, elegant and mas mahal sa Disneyland Hotel. Victorian inspired ang interior.

Hollywood hotel- old hollywood ang theme...

Pero pareho lang halos ng facilities, may pool, gym and resto.

Sa Disneyland Hotel andon yung Enchanted Garden, umiikot yung mga characters sa table.

Hi mga sis,

Ask ko lang if someone here have tried buying/using an HK prepaid sim? I plan on buying one with unlimited mobile data option (same as what we have here) kasi I wanted to use google maps to help us navigate during our stay there.

Here's what I'm looking at:

Thanks!

I suggest this one na lang sis.

Mas mura and mabilis yung internet since 4g siya.

[jafi19]

^^Thanks Sis Barbie.  pwede naman nakacheck in sa hollywood pero sa hotel disney kumain di ba?

[jenny_syngkit]

^ sis pwede mo gamitin facilities in both hotels kahit sa hollywood or disney hotel ka na naka check in.

We stayed at Hollywood Hotel before and we used the indoor pool in Disney Hotel. You can eat sa restaurants even if you are not a hotel guest.

[abbiesh]

Hello all. ask ko lang if pagbaba ko ng Causeway Bay station, nandun na mga shopping malls? And we want to go to Homeless kasi. How to go there?? Thanks

[prettybarbie]

^ ano sasakyan mo? If mtr, yes, may exit mismo sa times square at sogo, pag bus naman depende kung san ka manggagaling, but usually ang baba sa may sogo mall.

[abbiesh]

Thanks! Yes, mag train kme (tipid). And i dont exactly know how if pag bus

Question again. Will be there na kasi next week and I just started planning for the trip. I booked Ibis Hotel Central. Nearest MTR is Sheung Wan. Would anyone happen to know which exit we have to take going to the hotel? And malapit lang ba to na walk?

TIA!

[abbiesh]

And here's our rough ITI pala. Help!

Aug 14-18

Day 1 Aug 14 Wed
Airport
Ngong Ping
City Gate
Check-In Ibis Hotel Central
???TST? The Peak?

Day 2: Aug 15 Thurs Disneyland

Day 3: Aug 16 Friday MACAU
QUESTION:
1. We actually just went to HK last May and to be honest, d ko na maalala pano kme napadpad sa Macau that time. Nawala wala kme. Yung exit ng MTR namin is yung may BDO and Jollibee. We walked super far tapos ending is nag cab to the terminal. Which station ba talaga dapat?
2. From Lisboa (Or is it Grand Lisboa?), how to go to Senado Square and to the Ruins?

Day 4 Aug 17 Saturday: Shopping
Causeway bay and TST? Any suggestions?
San ba H&M an IKEA na magkalapit?

Day 5 Aug 18 Early flight out so sa airport nlang

We dont have any idea din where to eat in Macau and in HK

Thank so much sa inputs.

[prettybarbie]

I dont know the exact exit letter papuntang ibis, pero the nearest is the one in the Des Vouex Road, makikita mo yun sa mismong mtr check mo na lang kung anong exit. It's an 8 minute walk to the hotel.

1) Shueng Wan station exit D

2) the biggest H&M is in central (exit D 2)

    And the best IKEA is in Causeway Bay (exit E) tapos lakad ka lang ng konti, nasa baba sya ng Park Lane.

3) the best resto in macau if you want authentic macanese/portugese food is Fernando's. We have Macau thread by the way.

[crookshanks]

Hi mga sis, been reading the thread for quite some time and ngayon ko lang ulit nabalikan (kase malapit na alis namin  ). Question lang regarding CTS, ganon na talaga yung website nila, need to register bago makita yung tickets prices? Binookmark ko kase yung page nila dati tapos ngayon di ko na makita yung price list.

[rocky]

^oo sis, nag-iba na nga. kainis hindi ko rin maopen yong price. kung bibili ka ng discounted tickets, meron din sa mga guesthouse

[smoothie]

Hindi ko naman hilig ang HongKong. Nakaka-3 punta pa lang naman kami for this year. Haha.

We usually go there to relax or vacation. Instead of going to Bora, mas prefer ni hubby sa Hongkong na lang.
Perfect time to go there is on Jan-March since malamig. Hindi ka mapapagod sa weather. But if shopping ang habol mo.
July - Sept ata ang sale season nila.

Duration of stay - 4 days, we get the first flight out then last flight out pag pauwi na.
What we usually do - shopping and eat
Where we stay - DragonHostel in Mongkok. Very accessible to us since nandun lang naman kami lagi sa area. Hindi na namin kailangan mag MTR. 
They have a Phil. bank account. Dun kami nag dedeposit. Rest of the payment sa hostel na mismo.
Where we eat - Cafe de Coral, MXT, Restaurants in our building, Yoshinoya, Ajisen Ramen, Langham foodcourt,
If we went to splurge we eat at East Lake Seafood Restaurant in Causeway Bay, i think. Super yummy Chinese Food.
Special Mention Agnes B. Coffee shop.
