HONG KONG GUIDE (THREAD 35)

[workinmom]

Shucks nagbackread nako pero di ko talaga mahanap yung discounted ticket rate offerings ng GC. I saw yung image sa google nung rates pero si ko naman makita kung anong year yon kaya papost na lang ng link pretty please...thanks!

[Heatherette]

^I think sa previous thread na-mentioned yung discounted rates.

[omneecka]

^^hi sis, if you are referring to Gloden Crown as GC, better to check sis sa website ng GC, may list sila dun ng discounted tickets nila, kakacheck ko lang, ito lang na-note ko kc ito lang naman kukunin and iko-compare ko sa ibang guest house and sa CTS mismo:

all for adult rate in HKD, discounted rate:
Disneyland - 410
Ocean Park - 250
Pear Tram RT, Madame Tussauds, Sky Terrace - 200
Ngong Ping Standard Cable Car RT - 105
Ngong Ping Crystal Cabin - 180

nabasa ko sa kabilang forum na much better pa rin sa CTS bumili ng Ngong Ping ticket
para no need ng pumila ng mahaba and may ticket sila for combination of 1 way standard
and 1 way crystal cabin.

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.

ngayon na lalabas yung decision ng HK government. Same here, December travel date din. Ang hassle lang din talaga plus tama mga sis, dagdag expenses pa.

[yapeegurl]

Parang may 1 month na binigay ang HK para gumawa ng move ang Pinas. Everyone holding a Philippine passport ito ano? Regardless siguro kung saang country ka galing. Hassle

[smoothie]

^yes, i think as long as your a [textspeak!] citizen.

Times like these parang ang hassle maging pinoy.

[heavensent]

^true sis

[tammy1979]

thanks yapeegurl...mukhang no choice talaga kami kundi mag stay either sa Mirador or ChungKing Mansion..Goodluck sa min hehe..

Sana naman hindi matuloy yang visa na yan, hassle pa mag apply. Kaka-disappoint lang, dumadami na ang countries na nagagalit sa Pinas. Baka sa susunod mas mahirap pa mag travel within Asia kesa sa ibang countries. Wag naman sana.

[workinmom]

Shucks 1 month lang e saktong dec8 pa talaga alis namin...*sigh*

[two_zero]

According to GMA News Online, "Hong Kong threatened on Tuesday to impose unspecified economic sanctions on the Philippines if substantial progress was not made within a month in talks demanding Manila's apology and compensation for a hostage tragedy three years ago."
"Philippine foreign ministry spokesman Raul Hernandez said Manila hoped the hostage row would not be linked to visa-free arrangements for Filipinos traveling to Hong Kong."

cross fingers pa din january pa naman travel namin with my whole family here in the phil and australia...

[yikee]

Sa dec3 na punta namin.. Nasstress naman ako sa news..  Syempre ang airfare di na marerefund kung sakali. Yung sa DL pwede pa ata days before, di ko pa binabasa ulit. Sa GC di ko pa makita sa site nila. Haaaayyy.. Kung kayo nasa lagay namin mga sis, tutuloy kayo? Sa sisses na nasa HK, kamusta naman? Saka gano ba katagal processing ng visa nila?

[Lilacs]

HALA!!    Dec 4 family trip namin sa HK, sana wag na muna nila ilabas yang visa requirement na yan.  napaka hassle masyado.  nakaka stress isipin kung magkano fees at ilang days ang release ng visa.
 

[cinnam]

Aw, the visa news is so sad, buti na lang pala umabot pa kami nung July. Pero ang tagal na nung Hostage na yun, bakit ngayon lang nila naisipan maglagay ng visa for Pinoys? sa mga naghahanap ng guesthouse, I recommend Hello Hk, it's in Mirador mansion, same building as Cosmic, no. 1 sa tripadvisor to, I think we got our room for $320hkd/night, good for two, we stayed here last time. We didnt settle with Cosmic kasi mukhang malaking CR yung loob nung room because of the tiles set up and I read about the bed bugs, konting difference lang naman sa price. Friendly pa si Ivan, yung host. He cleans the rooms daily, very honest, minsan iniiwan lang namin iPad but nothing gets lost when we come back, the doors are all passcode keylocked, strong wifi, common fridge to store food and winner ang location, few steps away from TST Mtr station, oooh I wanna go back tuloy

[entwife]

Se Dec 16 Flight ko pero di ako masyadong concerned dun sa Visa. I just don't think na pwede nila yun iimplement immediately. And December yung kasagsagan ng tourists, so I don't think iririsk nila yun. Or in denial lang ako? haha

[smoothie]

^In denial. haha.

May good deal din kami nakita sa flight kaso travel dates sana ay dec. 12 but with the visa thing. hindi tuloy kami maka-decide

[joyssabel]

I have a flight this coming Nov. 16, i'm checking kung implemented na ba yung Visa..so far, wala pa naman!

"We don't want you as tourists but we want you as toilet cleaners"

"Our legislators will vote on this nauseatingly racist motion to punish Filipinos for the Manila killing of eight Hongkongers by a deranged ex-policeman"

"We can do without the 700,000 Filipino tourists who come here annually. But if we ban Filipino maids, who will clean our toilets? "
