Hong Kong Guide (Thread 36)

[gorgeous gal]

hi sisses,

i'm planning a 5 day / 4 night itinerary with a 2 yr old.  is it okay not to go to ocean park? I've read kasi that the rides are scary and that the kiddo will not enjoy it.

[rocky]

agree, hindi nya pa ma-appreciate OP

[princess lorraine]

^^we went to ocean park last yr with our daughter. 3 yrs old siya that time. She enjoyed the aquarium, penguins, panda, cable car, etc. Sa rides merry go round lang nasakyan namin kasi most of the rides are for adults na.

Sis, we tried bringing home Yakult from SG but not from HK. YUng sa SG kase iba ibang flavor and mas malaki din ang size. Favorite ng anak ko so nag-uwi kami, di naman nasira. We placed in our our check-in luggage lang. We bought the night before our departure (morning the following day). Yung sa HK na Yakult, size lang ang naiba sa what's available here in 'Pinas.

OT: Yakult from SG are my kids super fave, ang laki pa. I bought some too from Bangkok

thanks for the feedback.  baka hindi na lang nga kami pumunta ng Ocean park.

Anyone who tried airbnb or roomorama accommodations? is it safe?

help please. yun po ba octopus card puwede din gamitin sa A21 bus bukod sa MTR? TIA.

*** After reading online, I'll answer my Q: Yes, octopus card can be use on bus, MTR and even food house and supermarket for as long as they can tap said card.

Pede din sa tram, cinema, shops/mall

Thanks sis prettybarbie.

OT lang. Tumawag ako sa CEB para sa flight namin sa sunday since last year pa booking namin at buti na lang tuumawag ako para hindi kami maholdap sa airport. Tinanong ko kung may babayaran pa kami na taxes or wala na since naka-indicate naman sa IT namin na may taxes and fees kami binayaran for 4 pax. Sabi may babayaran pa daw kami na Philippine Travel Tax na P1,620 plus Terminal Fee na P550 for a total of P2,170/pax. Kaloka. Samantalang ang HK-MNL waley, ikaw na ang asa Pinas.

^sis, ganon talaga pag online hindi pa kasama yong phil. travel tax. pero pag sa ibang bansa included na kaya mas mahal yong ticket pabalik

[smoothie]

Pilipinas lang ang sumisingil ng travel tax at terminal fee...

[fionaapple]

san kaya may mabibiling murang music box sa hongkong? pang wedding souvenir ko sana. nagtitingin ako sa alibaba. kaso ang mahal ng shipping. e papunta kami sa HK sa aug 14 to aug 20 kaya naisip ko baka sakaling pwede dun na lang bumili. 200 pieces ang balak ko bilhin...

Hello again sisses. Please check and correct me sa IT namin for HK.

June 15 - arrival in HK at 9:10 PM. We'll go to Level 5 of HKIA for Shuttle Bus A21 going to Golden Crown. GC is at 13th Bus Stop, in between Standard Chartered and Citibank.

June 16 - Ocean Park. From GC, take MTR (Central Line) to Admiralty and Exit B. We'll transfer to CityBus 629 going to OP at Admiralty Bus Terminus. From OP Main Entrance, CityBus629 to MTR Admiralty to Central Line to GC.

June 17 - Macau, based dito, GC guests' departure from HK is in Sheung Wan. If Sheung Wan, we'll take MTR to Sheung Wan. If not, China Ferry Terminal is just walking distance from GC. Then from Macau, arrival is in Sheung Wan, so MTR going back to TST to GC.

June 18 - check out in GC to Disney Land. From GC, take MTR (Tsuen Wan Line) to Lai King. From Lai King change to Tung Chung Line. Get off at Sunny Bay then change to DL line. From DL, we'll go to HKIA.

Sis, sorry pero di ko na mahanap yun puwede kami mag-iwan ng luggage namin. Meron ba nito sa DL. Please check na din IT namin and kung saan namin puwede iwan mga gamit namin. Salamat ulit.
