Planning to get Airport express tourist pass with 3days unlimited MTR & MTR Bus.

Sisses would you know kung [textspeak!] ang a21 buses dito? or magkaiba operator yun?

Sulit na kase yung 1way airport express ride + 3days unlimited mtr bus @  HKD209 (online purchase) with refundable HKD50 when you surrender the card so magiging HKD159 for 3day travel.

NOT BAD right.

Thinking of coming back here for my 10th wedding anniversary.  This will be my 7th time hehe so definitely no touristy stuff.  Can anyone suggest romantic places or activities we can do here in HK in August?  Thanks in advance.

Better to buy HKD here. Why? 1) Mas malaki ang lugi if you go PHP-USD-HKD and 2) You don't need to worry about looking for money changers while in HK.

[C+C]

may sg dollor kasi ako,.. mas ok bang ipapalit ko nalang sa Hong Kong ang sgd ko into HKD? or dito nako sa pinas magpapalit ng SGD to hkd? baka mahirap din kasi maghanap ng money changer sa HK??? at lahat ba ng money changers sa HK reliable? who's the most reliable mga sis?,.. pag sa HK airport naman baka mababa ang palitan

I strongly suggest Aqua Luna. it's a night cruise. very romantic. Fee already includes champagne.

hi ... subscribing here.

katatapos ko lang mag-backread ng thread 35 and im trying to find out kung madalas bang umulan during the month of May?  we'll be there 2nd week of May.

TIA

[theflygirl]

It was a cold 8 degrees Celsius this morning. Happy travels!

[oolong]

feeling ko ang lamig!!! tama ba? heheh

we'll be going on saturday.. dapat na ba talaga mag winter clothes? sabi ok lang daw cardigan

[snowhannah]

Be ready with thermal underwear and fleece-lined outer wear na pampatong sa sweater. Mabuti na ang handa. Di naman mabigat yan. Weather forecast is more of the same up to next week. Andun nga ngayon ang accountant namin and her family. Ayun, napagastos sa bubble jackets kasi cardigans lang kasi ang panglamig nila.

[shabby]

I'm making a second version. Gusto ni h2b na HK muna before Macau.

Sun 10am arrival in HKIA - then Avenue of Stars, Ding Ding Tram, The Peak, Madame Tussauds
Mon Macau day trip, Symphony of Lights
Tue Ngong Ping, Disneyland
Wed Repulse Bay, Ocean Park - then 730pm flight back to MNL

Mga sis, kailan sa 4 days na ito na kaya ring mapuntahan Causeway Bay? Or meron talaga kaming dapat alisin? Thanks in advance!

[snowhannah]

Kaya ang Causeway Bay sa Day 1. Tight ang Day 4 niyo. Make sure palabas na kayo ng OP at 4.

[shabby]

^Thank you, sis snowhannah! Naisip ko nga rin gawin last day yung Macau. Tapos from Macau, diretso na HKIA.

Though 2nd time ko ito to HK, sobrang tight kasi yung dati namin ng family ko. 3 days lang kasi yun. And I want to learn from those more experienced sa HK. Sa Macau naman, first time namin parehas. May nabasa kasi ako na may Macau to HKIA kaso nakakatakot ba yun gawin dahil flight yun e or hindi naman?

Re:

I agree na better na dito na magpaexchange from PHP to HKD, based on my first time to go to HK. Nung cinompute ko yun, okay nga yung ginawa namin. Sa BDO kami noon.

[snowhannah]

Naku sis, wag kayo mag-Macau sa last day. Magkakandakumahog lang kayo. Kung magkaproblema pa sa schedule ng ferries (like  sumama ang panahon), pano na.   If you're not atat sa fireworks sa Disney at closing time, better nga na mag Disney na lang kayo sa Day 4, kasi malapit na siya sa airport. Labas kayo at 5 or even a little bit later kung nakapag web check-in kayo.

[shabby]

^Thank you, sis snowhannah! Sige, hindi ko gagawin Macau sa last day. Noted sa mga pinoint out mo. :-) Meron ako ngayon 3rd, 4th, and 5th version. Nalilito na ako mga sis kung ano pinaka-okay considering na 10am arrival namin and 730pm naman ang flight back to MNL. Please comment kung ano pinakamaganda. Thank you talaga...
