@greenarrowbabe, thanks sa update on forex, sis. Anong name ng money changer kung saan ka nagpapalit sa Mirador Mansion? PHP to HKD? or USD to HKD?

Best Exchange Co ata yun sis. Mag-ikot ka lang dun para makapag compare ka ng rates. and oo marami din sa Chungking.

We're going to HK this coming January. Applicable ba 'to sa Cebu Pac: I have 15kgs check-in baggage and so is my husband. Okay lang bang 1 big baggage kami with 30kgs (combining our 15kgs) or dapat separate bags yung 15kgs?

[SOFIEMAE]

^pwede sis combined, lalo na kung same booking reference number naman yung ticket ninyo

[krisle703]

Hi question po sa mtr octopus card. Can we use it sa bus to ngong pin, airport bus and bus to ocean park? if we use it for peak tram, sakto lang ang $150 load for 4 days 3 nights? Also, malamig ba ang 19-16 degrees? ayan kasi lumalabas na weather sa travel dates namin.. can we wear boots or too much?

[minaco_aino]

^pwede sis combined, lalo na kung same booking reference number naman yung ticket ninyo

Yes sis. Same booking reference number lang kami. Thank you!

[purple orchid]

@ X_03, sure sis will inform you regarding that pag nasa HK na kami: 

[prettybarbie]

krisle703, yes pede gamitin sa kahit anong bus and train basta may sufficient load.... 16-19 degrees oo mejo malamig na yan, kasi hangin dito malamig talaga pag winter. You can wear boots and coats actually as early as this month e naka boots na ang mga tao dito.

[krisle703]

^thanks sistah! kahit noon? kasi will be arriving around 12noon sa HKIA hindi ba oa kung lahat kami nakaboots? hehe diretso kami GC and avenue of stars then peak

[krisle703]

also, I read somewhere na iba na ang bus going to ocean park due to the protesters? is it ba to normal na ba?

[prettybarbie]

krisle703 oo, fashion forward din ang mga intsik, di lang naka boots todo scarf pa kahit di pa naman talaga uber lamig

[greenarrowbabe]

^ i agree! halos lahat ng nakita ko naka boots! kung dito sa Pinas, kahit ganun ang weather pagtitinginan ka na e. 

hay, ansarap pumorma sa Hk! hehe!

Has anyone tried the lunch buffet at enchanted garden? We tried the breakfast and dinner buffet last year kasi and we really enjoyed it. Lunch buffet is cheaper than dinner buffet so i'm thinking is we should try this. Ok din ba? Thanks 

[minnie99]

So excited for our Jan 27 trip! Sana malamig pa rin. Haha.

Is the IT below okay:
Day 1 - 7:40AM arrival at HKIA
             9:30 arrival at Ngong Ping
             1:00 OTW to TST and check-in at GC to rest a bit
             4:00 OTW to The Peak
             7:00 OTW to Avenue of the Stars

Day 2 - whole day DL

Day 3 - shopping and rest til 9:55PM flight (depending on preferences of individuals, pwede rin singit OP)

Or mas okay ba if we do NP on last day? Did my research kasi and around 2 hours lang naman daw kaya na dun?

Suggestions will be appreciated.

---

And question, til what time open yung shops Ladies' market?

[rocky]

^yes, mas ok sis kung last day nyo na ngong ping since gabi pa naman flight nyo. pagdating nyo kasi HK pagod pa kayo nyan sa byahe saka baka foggy din yan dahil january, baka wala din kayong makita sa the peak & giant buddha

[minnie99]

^Thanks sis rocky! How about The Peak? Foggy din kaya in January?

Will monitor the weather/temp din starting 2nd week of January. Lol! Sobrang excited lang.

[mameejhy]

Anong magandang gawin sa 8hrs na lay over?

[rocky]

^malapit lang citygate outlet, DL & giant buddha sa airport. though hindi mo rin mapupuntahan lahat yan sis kasi need mo ring bumalik ng airport para mag-check in

^^yes baka wala din kayong makita. so tyempuhan talaga

[minnie99]

^Aww. Sige, makikibalita na lang ako dito sa mga sis na traveling mid-January. Thanks ulit sis rocky!

[amethyst028]

^saan ba ang GC kung mirador mansion siya or near nathan road walking distance ka lang sa avenue of stars so go to avenue of stars ng 4pm then 7pm ka na lang sa the peak. mas ok kasi ang view sa the peak at night. just hope na hindi foggy.

saan niyo plan mag shop sa last day? kung sa citygate then pwede ka mag NP ng last day. kung mongkok or tst ka mag shop first day ka na lang mag NP im just not sure kung saan pwede iwan luggage nyo or kung hindi hassle pag dadalhin niyo dun. or try nyo mag NP sa 2nd day since mas malapit lang siya sa DL. go there nung pagka open nila. then until 9PM na kayo sa DL to watch the fireworks.
