ok ba magshop sa Citygate sa Tung CHun?

[_pink12_]

^Depende sa mga nakasale na items eh. Tsambahan talaga. But worth checking out especially for sporting goods like New Balance, Nike, Adidas and Puma.

May Giordano and Esprit rin.

Pag walang nagustuhan, just shop for groceries at the supermarket ng mga products na wala dito.

[SOFIEMAE]

^yan ang ginawa ko ang mag grocery at mag buy ng cooked food sa supermarket ang sarap at ang mura 2 viands with rice kasya na sa amin ni hubby, next year punta ako ulit citygate hindi para mag shopping kundi para sa food heheh

[seven82]

thanks sis pink12 and SOFIEMAE 

[cindylulu]

would love to go back to citygate one day. shopped for tops as pasalubong at esprit. bought shoes at Nike. almost tempted at Kate spade and coach. Lacoste, aerosoles, geox and polo rl have outlets but nothing caught my fancy. hubby's a fan of Tommy Hilfiger pique shirts but the ones at their outlet were really old stocks. luma rin halos sa it outlet. one thing I regretted not buying are those nude Stuart Weitzman heels at pedders which was discounted for almost 70%. we had lunch at a hainanese stall in food republic and had merienda at Mcdo.

I don't like Tung Chung, I guess it's because I'm not really into designer brands. Namamahalan parin ako sa U.S brands nila like Coach and Kate Spade.
Pag natsamba na may sale, worth it bumili sa Giordano.

But I love their food court

[_pink12_]

^Oo nga sis. Mahal pa rin Coach nila, mas mura pa rin sa US. Kami naman since mahilig kami sa rubber shoes, kaya sulit lagi ang punta namin sa Citygate. May mga pambata pa na shoes sa New Balance. Dito kasi sa Manila, walang kasya sa daughter ko na pang kids.

[seven82]

^sis even if hindi sale month may mga naka mark down sa Citygate? o mas madaming nakasale kapag month of July?

[smoothie]

hindi ko alam kung kailan exactly ang sale. But nung pumunta kami around june 21 of last year, sale season, tung chung and kahit sa ibang stores.  After 1 month, bumalik kami, July. (cant remember the exact date) ayun, wala ng sale. may nakamarkdown pero hindi na ganun ka mura. Tapos umonti ang stocks.

^^june to august ang sale season sis

mga sis, need some advice. 2AM ETA namin sa hk. ano ba okay gawin ng ganitong oras pagdating? meron ba pwedeng gawing tambayan pampalipas oras? di naman pwede mag check in sa hotel unless kung magpadagdag ng 1 night booking pero parang sayang naman since mag uumaga na nga.

saang area ng hk mas okay mag stay kapag first time tourist? tst, mongkok or causeway? 

[cindylulu]

^for first time travelers, I suggest staying at tst for that Chinatown feel. pero ang hirap ng time ng arrival nyo sis. most bars are only open till 2am. Mall hours are only from 10am to 10pm. yung mga 24 hours syempre is 7/11, hotel lobbies, and siguro yung parang mga turo-turo rin nila. if your hotel will allow you, you may stay at the hotel lobby and wait for check-in time. why don't you request your hotel for early check-in sis? magsa-sunrise pa lang pero pagod na kayo kasi walang tulog at walang pahinga.

[ms.G]

thanks, sis. how about sa hk airport mismo. wala bang maayos na pwedeng tambayan? siguro nga our best option is early check-in sa hotel. kung tama ako sa early check in, magch-charge extra cost lang ang hotel but not as much as the regular rate for 1 night stay?

meron ka ba ma-recommend na cheap hotel in tst? mostly kasi na nababasa ko dito, gc guesthouse lang.

[prettybarbie]

^ hotel benito, butterfly on prat

thanks!  basta nastuck sa mind ko na July ang sale season sa HK. i'll be there 3rd week ng June. hopefully madami ng sale and maganda weather

well if ok lang sa inyo to kill time in the airport's waiting area. may mga chairs dun na pwede nang tambayan just like in naia 3. what I mean by early check-in sis is kung papayagan ka ng hotel mo na instead of the regular check-in time of 2pm, pwede ka nila i-accommodate earlier than 2pm without additional charges.

[prettybarbie]

Sale is usually during december, january, feb (the biggest sale are usually before chinese new year)

[cutiepie]

Hello. Cheaper ba ang longchamp le pliage sa HK store boutiques or sa airport? 

[dulcette]

may data sim cards ba sa airport and how much?

My daughter is very excited for her 2nd hk trip next yr. i booked our tickets via cathay pacific. We will be there on march 29 to april 3, 2015. We will be staying at hk disneyland hotel for 3 nights and novotel hotel nathan road for 2 nights. The rates at hk disneyland hotel have increased as compared to their rates last yr. but it's my daughter's request because she really loved our stay there last yr. as an accor member, i will be using our one night compimentary stay at novotel hotel nathan road para makatipid ng konti. Excited din ako!
