Question: Mas okay ba to purchase Octopus card for 3 days lang? will use it mainly for trains.. Is it true na buy mo card for 48 hkd and wala pa stored value?? 

yes sis, meron yun 48hkd lang pero wala stored value and none refundable unlike if buy ka ng 150hkd. kami nagpareload pa ng 50hkd dun sa 150hkd kasi di siya enough nun ginamit namin for 3N/3D for MTR and bus going to OP. pag-uwi binalik naman yun di namin nagamit. sa airport kami bili and surrender ng card.

just got back last Saturday and sobrang init nung time na nandoon kami. then sabi ng friend namin na nandoon ng Sunday and lakas naman ng ulan.

so far sa sale meron na din but hindi pa ganon kadami.

sobrang enjoy namin yung crystal cabin going to Big Buddha. may mga nakakainis lang na taga Mainland. mga walang manners, kakapal pa ng mukha sumisingit sa pila.

[presyosa ligaya]

ang tatapang nila no sis seven82, yan lang din reklamo namin. halata mo may discrimination lalo kapag alam pinoy ka. buti na lang mababait mga intsik sa GC, hehe.

[seven82]

^oo sis hehe sila din ang mga violators ng rules doon. kahit may malaking no smoking sige yosi pa din. no eating and drinking, kain pa din. parang hindi nakakaintindi. wag paapekto sa discrimination sis hehe pumunta tayo doon to enjoy and besides nagbabayad tayo no kaya wala silang right na hindi tayo bigyan ng proper treatment

Yahooo im done with Hongkong Trip!! Thank you sisses for helping!!! Ang ganda ng trains and buses nila eh noh, lol. Im quite dissapointed sa Peak, Tram at Sky Terrace.. super haba ng pila, and pagdating sa Sky Terrace andaming mga locals na nakatambay dun sa magagandang spot, sana next time my time limit na yung picture taking sana they will form a line na lang para everybody else can be at the center.

Sulit din ang nga Octocard 3 days commute kami and yun lang ginamit namin for everything, nasa MTR app naman kasi yung fares kaya nag compute muna kami bago kami ng buy ng octo para alam namin kung how much, di na namin sinurrender remembrance na din hehe.

We were there sunday to weds, rainy sa morning pagdating sa tanghali super init naman, super lagkit talaga.

Mas nagenioy ako sa Ocean Park, gusto ko mag hair raiser ulit nakakawala ng stress yung pag sigaw hahahah.

[sosychill]

^sis, balitaan mo ako kung naka pag hand carry ka ng selfie monopod thanks and enjoy!

Hi sis, naku bawal monopod sa hand carry.. kaya ng check in baggage talaga kami, yung umbrella na foldable pwede. 

[SOFIEMAE]

kainis hindi naman ganun kalaki ang selfie monopod kumpara sa tripod... thank you sis! musta ang HK tour 

[mama squeak!]

^^bawal na monopod? Sis anong airline nyo? I always bring my monopod in my handcarry both domestic and international never pa naman ako sinita.

[sosychill]

Sis sa cebu pacific kami.. nung tinanung namin kung pwede hindi daw sabi ng crew.. my times na pinapayagan daw, sa iba naman daw bawal.. baka depende sa staff dun.. kasi diba my scanner ulit pag boarding pero para di na kami mahassle pa at bumalik chineck in na namin.

[bratty]

yung umbrella na foldable pwede.

Ngek! Nakalusot talaga ang foldable umbrella?

Enjoy HK!

[sosychill]

^ oo sis pwede foldable umbrella dalawa kaming may dala sa hand carry hehe.

[mama squeak!]

^Na-curious ako about monopods kasi I've always brought mine in my hand-carry so I called CebPac just now about this. They referred me to their website and I quote:

The following articles are not allowed to be carried in the cabin. These items must be put in the checked-in baggage :
   • nail cutters
   • swiss knives
   • scissors
   • any bladed items or sharp objects
   • umbrellas of any type
   • bicycle chains and jacks or other similar items
   • lighters, which contain “butane” as well as matches, are prohibited in both handcarried and checked baggage
   • zippo lighters can be checked in or handcarried as long as it is completely drained of its fluid
   • liquids
   • aerosols
   • gels (LAGs) in 100ml or less are the only ones allowed in handcarried baggage. LAGs must be placed in containers less than 100ml and must be secured in airtight plastic bags as changes in cabin pressure may cause even well sealed items to leak.
***All sports equipment are not allowed to be handcarried and must be checked in****


No mention of monopods. I further asked kung baka naman di updated website nila and they said whatever is written there holds true.

Pero if ayaw mo ng makipag-discussion better check them in na nga lang. Pero ako I'll continue bringing my monopod in my handcarry unless meron silang mapakitang memo/ruling against carrying it sa cabin. Hilig pa naman namin mag-selfie ni hubby inflight! 

From HKG coming back to Manila rin, my experience walang issue with my monopod both on CebPac and CX.

[sosychill]

Bakit kaya samin binawal? Nung sunday lang kami umalis ah.. maybe gusto nila pro - active?

Me: Mam pwede po ba foldable umbrella sa hand carry?
GS: Opo pwede
Me: Eh monopod po?
GS: Ay hindi po pwede
Me: Sige po check in na lang po ito

[SOFIEMAE]

^mga pasaway talaga yan heheh pero ang alam ko talaga any kind of umbrella hindi pwede kasi nakuha yung payong ng friend ko super liit na nun. Kanino kaya napupunta yung mga na confiscate nila na hindi pwede i hand carry

thanks mama squeak maiprint nga yan para maipakita para maka lusot if ever ang monopod

[presyosa ligaya]

nagbiyahe din kami June 15-18 at meron ako dala na umbrella sa hand-carry pero lumusot naman. actually, hindi ko alam na bawal, hipag ko lang nagsabi, teehee.

[bratty]

Di rin ako maka-move on dyan sa foldable umbrella, kasi naconfiscate din ang beloved umbrella ko, year 2010 pa ito hehe! Dun sya nakuha sa last inspection after immigration, kaya feeling ko di rin alam ng nasa check in counter ang rule na yan.

Nagpa-plano ako mag-HK ulit for November, kaso yun yata ang month na nagsisimulang lumamig. Baka din rin ako mag-enjoy.

[mama squeak!]

^nicer nga to go in November kasi palamig na but hindi naman yung ngatog na laming. When we go during December carry pa ang sweater lang. The coldest months would be starting January to February.
