Question po: Malapit lang ba ang Rambler Graden Hotel and Rambler Oasis Hotel sa aiport or Disneyland? Hindi po ba mahirap hanapin if mag bus or train lang? Thanks ins advance

We'll be staying at cosmic guesthouse on our HK trip on nov 24 - 28. Hopefully, wala naman kami ma-encounter na issue. I'll post a review when we get back.

Btw sisses, super lamig na ba sa dates nung trip namin? Balak ko kase na cardigan nalang ang dalin instead na mga jacket para di mabigat sa bag.

[rocky]

^ganyang date ako nag-travel dati hindi naman, mala-baguio lang

[mama squeak!]

^sis, reliable ba lahat ng posts dyan sa airbnb? mukhang mas ok nga yung apartment, konte lang difference sa guesthouse

Not only do you have to check the reviews of the apartment pati yung reviewer i-check mo rin kasi some are friends of the owner/landlord. Mas credible ang mga independent reviews. Check mo rin ang response rate ng owner in case you need to ask him/her something about the apartment. Lastly make sure you check all the T&Cs and extra charges that goes with renting the apartment para no surprises when the billing comes your way. I've used airbnb since 2008 and all my experiences with the different apartments we've used were good.

Good luck!

tammy1979, Rambler Garden Hotel to Airport is 26kms. Rambler Garden Hotel to Disneyland ay 15kms. Wala akong makita MTR station na walking distance from Rambler sis. Nearest MTR station ay Tsing Yi which is 3.5kms. Based on google maps, 2 kinds of bus ang sasakyan mo to reach Tsing Yi Station from Rambler.

Nabiktima din ako ng Burger King hahaha wala na pala ito. Ito pa man din ang ginawa kong meeting point with my mom last July. Pero meron Burger King doon sa Terminal 3 ata. Malayong lakad ito.

mga sis possible daw na aprubahan sa Wednesday ang NO VISA NO ENTRY for Filipino's sa Hong Kong. mga sis na nasa Hong Kong may mga balita ba kayo dyan?

[Heatherette]

^From what I understand on that issue, non-binding MOTION (not a law) was filed to withdraw the visa-free access of Filipinos to HK.

[omneecka]

grabe naman, bakit naman biglang magrerequire na sila ng visa?
i treat hk pa naman as the cheapest and most accessible country to visit
in case i need to unwind. hay, how much kaya visa fee if ever? sayang
naman, pandagdag budget din. ang hassle nito especially next month na
travel namin.

mga sis, how's your stay in cosmic guesthouse or in merryland guesthouse?
im torn between these two if alin ibo-book ko.

thank u po!

[ava_camille]

Meron ba sa hk na mga apartment or condo na for rent? Baka kasi mas mura kaysa sa hotel at mas maganda kaysa sa hostel

[Heatherette]

^Yes sis, check Airbnb.

[ava_camille]

^thanks sis may recommended ba kayo apartments sa airbnb?

[prettybarbie]

Baka mga nasa 1,000 pesos ang visa pag nagkataon, kasi ganon ang fee pag kukuha ng more than 14 days visa.

[Heatherette]

^^Check mo nalang sis yung area na gusto mo at kung pang-ilan. Depende kasi yan sa kelangan niyo. Check sis mama squeak's post too.

[mom_c]

mura lang pala sis prettybarbie, kaya lang mas okay pa din yung wala kasi pag May visa submit pa mga documents dagdag hassle pa.. next month pa naman punta namin uli Hong Kong..

[entwife]

ako sa December flight ko! ano ba yan...

[workinmom]

Super hassle talaga naging effect ng quirino grandstand hostaging kasi nadadamay tayong lahat e. Imbes na pangocean park e mapupunta pa sa visa yan ifever. Grrrrr!!!

Guys, meron ba kayong updated discounted ticket rate offerings ng golden crown court? Papost pls ng ticket rates for DL and OP.

Thanks!

[rocky]

^sis, pinost ko sa previous page. pakicheck na lang

[_pink12_]

Yikes, hassle nga ang pag-apply ng visa in case ma-approve. Additional expenses, aside from the travel tax

[sweetut]

^ay ano ba yan? effective kailan pa?

[omneecka]

sabi (not sure) tomorrow na lalabas decision ng HK government (yata) if irerequire na ng
visa mga Pinoy, and once approved, effective immediately daw ito.

hay.. kainis lang, ang hassle-hassle.
