[realshaddy]

please help po,

ano ba mas ok sa cable car ng ngong ping? one way or RT?

if one way lang kunin namin sa cable car, how can we get to TST from dun sa ngong ping?

TIA

[twinks]

Grabe super backread ako. And mukhang madami sa atin mag hk ng 1st wk of march. Ang hirap humanap ng hotel. 2 weeks na akong nag tingin sa booking! Hehe! Saan ba mas okey magstay causeway or kowloon. Will be arriving 10pm. May mapuntahan pa ba by that time. Thanks 

[Heatherette]

^^Go with RT na para mabilis pabalik. If one way gusto mo may buses sa NP village.

[pchym]

San po ba ang route ng ding ding tram?  Kung from tst, pwede ba maground trip dun and gaano katagal kaya ang byahe?  Gusto ko sanayung open top para feel na feel.  When's the best time to ride, morning or at night?

If you just read the complete article, you would know that there's nothing to be worried about unless you're a government official or a diplomat.

[batch]

^ yes. First phase sanctions pa lang daw and hopefully hindi naman madamay ang mga regular passport holders. 

[SOFIEMAE]

gov passport holder lang hindi pa maka move on sa 2010, sana naman hindi na muna baguhin feb 19 na kami... siguro naiisip nila sayang ang kita nila sa mga filipino tourists

[eleine26]

sana hinde na nila idamay mga regular passport holder.   

[shakeshake]

Sana.. Sana talaga

[seven82]

sana hangang sa mga government officials and diplomats nalang.. April pa punta namin, matagal tagal pa yun. madami pang pwedeng mangyari. 

[mom_c]

mga sis ok lang kaya staple ko na [textspeak!] yung landing slip sa passport kasi di rin naka staple ang samin pero last June naka staple naman landing slip sa passport namin.. di kaya magka problema kami naman pag bumalik kami sa Hong Kong?

[Heatherette]

^I stapled mine Ginaya ko lang ginawa nung dati but I stapled it on the next page.

[poshprincess]

hello ladies! punta din kami hk sa feb 18 - 22.. sana malamig pa

[poshprincess]

Ding ding tram for me is the cheapest way to go for a citytour/joyride in HK. lalo na pag sa 2nd floor ng bus kayo umupo.. hehe  and u can use your octopus card to pay.. HKD 2.10 lang ata

It's only in HK island.. wala sa TST.

Ang lagi kong route from TST is to take the MTR to NorthPoint Station, take the green line tram (westbound) to Shektong Tsui Terminus. Then ride pabalik (eastbound).. baba namin usually is either CauseWay Bay or Central para magshopping LOL

That joyride takes about 1-1.5 hours. Awesome time to rest your feet from all the walking.

If you dont have the time, do North Point to Central route na lang. Yun 30 mins lang. HTH!

[pchym]

^thanks, poshprincess! Will include that in my iti. 

Question po mga sisses.  Medyo ot po, for those who availed their trips via cashcash pinoy or any group buying site.  Meron po ba talagang binabayaran na mandatory tipping fee, 5$ for confirmation booking, and fixer charges sa hotel ng 35$?  Saka pa daw mskuha yung itinerary kapag nakabayad na ng 35$, to think na feb 4 na alis nung friend ko tapos clark pa daw sila manggaling. Pahelp naman po if these are legal charges. Thanks!
