Thanks for the info re 1000HKD sisses, take note ko yan.

[btrcup]

Update ko lang mga sis:

Seven ang 1k notes namin. Yung isa pinambili ng Octopus Card paglabas ng Immigration. Dinaldal ko yung babaeng andun tapos nagtanong lang ako if kaya nyang papalitan to 500s yung 2k ko. Pumayag naman.

Tapos sa GC ko pinambayad yung apat na natira (half sa remaining nights then yung isang half for DL and Ngong Ping).

Solved na problem ko!
3 pala dun December 2013. Di nag second look yung babae at si GC nung inabot ko

share ko lang. just got back from hk. we were there from nov. 13-15. we stayed at pearl guesthouse in mirador mansion through booking.com ang reservation. dapat 3 kame but my other friend couldn't make it kaya 2 lang kame nakapunta. i thought to myself ayos pa din kasi malaki yung room na ibibigay 3 single beds kasi. but when we got there to check in at nakita na 2 lang kame they gave us 2 single bed. nung nag complain kame pagpasok sa room may problem daw sa cr kaya tom na kame transfer sa triple bed.

when we called them nung gabi to ask kung what time kame transfer or refund na lang. transfer daw tom. kinabukasan they didn't communicate with us. nung nag check out na nag reklamo kame pero yung bumbay na nakausap namin sinisisi pa kame kasi binibigya daw nila kame ng 1room na 2 single bed tsaka isang room na single bed. wala naman inoffer na ganun. anyway nakaka disappoint lang kasi we payed for triple bed at nung nakita 2 lang kame they gave us 2single bad. i will complain sa booking.com. di ako natutuwa sa ganun. masyadong madaya.

regarding 1k hkd, u.s. dollar kasi dala namin and tuwing need lang money tsaka kame nagpapa palit. 300usd pinapa palit ko per day and true puro 500hkd binibigay. walang 1k. palitan is 1usd=7.76hkd

weather is cold nung nov.13&14. makulimlim and around 19 degrees pero nung last day namin umaraw na and nasa 23-24 degrees na. mas malamig pa sa labas kesa sa loob ng mga malls or establishments. madaming naka boots, jacket, scarf. puro pang winter na din ang tindang clothes so walang ma shop na damit na para dito sa atin.

question ko lang: why kaya parang ang sama ng tingin nila pag naka fiipflop? naka boots kasi ako pero nung sobrang sakit na ng feet ko i changed to flipflop na and yung mga tao na nakaka salubong namin yung iba tumitingin sa feet ko. and while walking napansin ko na wala nga naka ganon. deadma lang ako kasi sobrang comfortable naman talaga ng slippers. after resting my feet nag boots na ako ulit.

Until kelan kaya yung Paint the Night Parade in DL no? I emailed DL pero di pa sila nagre-reply lol

[SOFIEMAE]

^^baka sis naiingit lang sa flipflop mo

^sis Heatherette, hindi kaya dagdag na yan sa attraction ng DL kaya nagtaas ang entrance fee? anniversary offering nila ata yan, let us know sis until when pag sumagot na sa email mo thanks

[rocky]

alam nila na tourist ka sis. sila kasing mga local, kahit hindi naman ganon kalamig OA sila kung pumorma na kala mo may snow haha! ako din naka-flipflop nong pumunta ako don nong nov. wala akong paki sa kanila as long na comfy suot ko

[Heatherette]

^^Sabi ng friend ko di daw siya gabi gabi nangyayari. Sana mag-reply na si DL haha ang ganda kasi nung videos na nakikita ko about sa parade na yun.

[SOFIEMAE]

^may nabasa ako gang dec lang pero meron gang 2015 pa daw sige antayin ko nalang post mo dito sis, dapat ma witness natin yan hehe... thanks

[phurple0515]

^ sis, me Hong Kong thread na separate na. check it out sa Foreign Lands ng Out and About.

if you want na malamig na weather go from end of Nov to end of Feb.  Kasi after non is summer, then rainy seasons na.

[amethyst028]

been to hk nang month of july, last week ng october and 2nd week november. different year. best time is november kasi tamang tama lang weather. not too cold, parang baguio lang. sarap mag libot libot kasi kahit nasa labas kapara kang naka aircon.

july-august hot kasi summer, may times din na bagyo dun. ang maganda lang lang sale season siya. kung pakay mo is mag shopping eto yung best time.

google mo hong kong for dummies sa pinoyexchange andun yung comprehensive article from booking a hotel to creating an itinereary. it's the first country i've been to and super nag enjoy ako. very tourist friendly dun getting around is very easy, not expensive and mag e-enjoy ka talaga. ang daming pwedeng gawin.

[aquacharly]

I have been to HK year-round, through the years. Anytime is always the best time.  It still has a lot to offer. 

However, avoid typhoon season. Still July?  Shops close and the metro to & from Tsimshatsui shuts down.  But July is when the HK Sale occurs.  HK residents - correct me on that 1 if I recalled incorrectly. 

[Heatherette]

They replied na!

Regarding your email, we are pleased to inform you that Disney Paint The
Night will parade along Main Street USA every night from Oct 1, 2014
Monday to Sunday at 1.5 hour before firework. (until further notice)

[SOFIEMAE]

Huh! sana umabot gang March bago mag notice hahaha... Nag start ata yan sis from 7pm Thanks sis!

[Heatherette]

^No problem We will be there end of Feb, balitaan kita kung meron pa.

[cynth_pink00]

Hongkong Disneyland tickets has increased na. Based on their website from hk$585/adult and $415/kid, now it's $680 and $480 na.. I hope CTS hasn't increased their price. There is no way for us to purchase our tickets in GC since we will be going straight to DL from the airport. I hope meron agent dito sa Manila na pwede pagbilhan ng park tickets at a good price.

** this is for a 2days pass

^^Sabi ng friend ko di daw siya gabi gabi nangyayari. Sana mag-reply na si DL haha ang ganda kasi nung videos na nakikita ko about sa parade na yun.

sis yung paint the night ng disney para siyang Parade ng lights sa MOA, maganda siya kasi nakapa colorful nung mga floats nila. Pero kaunti lang ata yung kasama sa parade like Sulley, Mike of Monster Inc, Cars, Disney Princesses, Tinkerbell, Mickey and Minnie. Di ko alam kung may dinagdag na sila, last month pa kasi kami pumunta.

[Heatherette]
