grabe init sa hong kong. hindi namin masyado na enjoy DL napauwi kami maaga. sobra stress kami sa init.

nag enjoy kami sa ladies night market lalo na closing time kami dumaan. bagsak presyo sila. silk scarf nakabili kami 40hkd each, souvenir shirt 9 for 100hkd. sa fa yuen street may nabili ako birkenstock pisa nasa 500hkd hindi kasi nakasale pero mas mababa price nila compare dito sa pinas. sa horizon plaza may nakasale na chloe paraty python 40% off. marami flat shoes (ysl, ferregamo etc) sa horizon plaza kaso ang mga size 5,6, 9 & up. sa citygate outlet dami tao, may nagustuhan ako python bag sa michael kors kaso di ko tyoe color. sa burberry naman naka-70% mga sneakers and high cut nila pero broken sizes na.

Guys bukas na alis namin for macau -hongkong. excited and worried dahil sa rain sana hindi umulan sa HK

i just have a question, since someone said na mahirap kumuha ng tix from macau to hongkong i am planning to book it online sa turbojet. 160plus/way may handling fee pa na 10$ mas mura ba online or mas mura pag doon na bilhin?

also, mcau-kowloon ang route na kinuha ko since TST kami. But is it right macau terminal and not taipa if we are coming from senado square?

Hope you guys can help.

Thanks!

Hi sis! Sa Sept 15-18 kami. Actually wala pa kami ITI hehe share ko na lang pag meron na.

nagbook kami online sa cotaijet. wala naman naging problem. better choose first class nasa HKD 252 one way, comfy and may food. kung sunday ang travel nyo pabalik ng hong kong much better to book your tickets online. puno halos sa cotaijet.

taipa terminal sa venetian side siya malapit sa macau international airport. macau terminal sa side ng senado square & grand lisboa.

^thanks sis!

booking it now na para iwas hassle. hehe!

excited sana walang ulan  ngayon doon. but we bought raincoats if ever hehe

^maganda naman weather sis

i'll share lang stayed at GC sa HK and quite disappointing. it wasn't what i expected based on blogs and reviews i read online even my sister was disappointed. hindi naman kami maarte pero it wasn't a good choice for us lang

negs:
-luma ng rooms (this i expected already since i read na luma daw but bearable)
-malinis towels but butas2 halatang worn out na sa nipis lol (better if you bring yours nalang) they replaced the towels every after cleaning pero my butas lage lol
-cr was cleaned but my mga small ipis which for me is a hard limit  
-door of cr was sira na.  like bulok na yung kamoy nung ilalim (must be because nababasa s shower coz small lang cr)   that also explains the small ipis
-ac was not really cold kahit nakahigh so ang comforter naging unan nalang hehe
-my lock naman yung door pero not doublelock from the outside.  if you go out of your room may fear lang na baka someone might get in (better bring your valuables nalang to be safe)


pro:
-accessible by bus n train
-center n near to attractions n shopping na rin

there's this new guesthouse in nathan road din na bago same rate with GC sana doon nalang kami hayyy

sa macau we stayed at 5footway inn for an overnight stay and it was really nice. new facilities, got upgraded to triple room coz the tv in double wasnt working hehe, free light breakfast(bread, cereals,jams) with unlimited water and coffee)   nice modern  interior, nice bathroom clean surroundings, walking distance to sofitel, senado square, st pauls, lisboa, MGM  and bus stops, complete toiletries, pantry was open 24 hours so if you want to eat or cook your own meal pwede. room rate is the same as GC. was able to take advantage of free shuttle of a hotel nearby din.  we didnt choose taipa area by choice naman. downside lang sa guesthouse na to is walang elevator so if you have heavy luggages better request for rooms located at 2nd floor hehe

hope this helps

^awww anong floor kayo sis sa GC? nakakalungkot naman kasi highly recommended ko to since maganda experience ko sa kanila way back 2011 pa & lahat ng mga friends ko na nagstay din don eh maganda review.

yang 5footwayinn na-try ko sa SG & super happy din ako. gusto ko rin sana syang i-try kaso parang namamahalan ako, konti lang difference sa hotel sintra which is hotel na & maganda location gaano kalayo 5footwayinn kung lalakarin papuntang st. paul ruins? TIA 

[ohcmon]

^^ Sis anong room kinuha niyo sa GC? We were there just last month and I didn't encounter any of your experience naman. No butas towels, no ipis in the CR or in the room mismo, sliding the door of the CR so I didn't notice 'yung sira sa baba, and malamig naman AC. We got the superior quadruple room.

[chinablue]

mga sis, pag nagpareserve ba ng dl at ngong ping tickets sa golden crown online, need ba magdownpayment? and pagdating ng hongkong, anytime siya pwede ipickup sa gc or may hours din ang pagpickup? mas mura kasi sa gc, sayang naman ang matitipid. pwede na yun pangkain hehe

[omneecka]

@sis chinablue - no need for downpayment sis and sa pick-up, kunin nyo na lang during office hours like 9 to 5 PM para sure o kaya itawag nyo in case after 5 PM nyo ku2nin.

😊😊

[kittycat228]

We also stayed at GC this May at their superior quadruple room. Sliding din door ng cr & malaki sya compared to other hostels. Clean din naman at walang ipis. Sad to hear na di maganda experience mo sa GC. Anong name ng new guesthouse na nakita nyo sis?

[chinablue]

salamat sis omneecka sa prompt reply. excited na ko maghk!

hi mga sis, sa mga first time na nagpunta ng HK as a family hindi naman ba nakakalito? ito ang fear ko. balak namin January 2016 as early as now, we are planning na talaga.. para mapaghandaan namin ng maayos.. Kami ni hubby and our 2 girls ages 7 and 2 na siguro sila by then. been to HK na pero sa airport lang, nung nag connecting flight ako papuntang Dubai.

Parang okay na ako with GC since di naman kami maselan and travelling on a budget kami.. Dito gusto mag birthday ng eldest ko kaya payag naman si hubby instead of throwing a party yun nalang daw. (7 years old). How to book them? via Agoda ba? If 4 adults kami (plan to bring my parents with us too) magkano kaya ang room rate nila per night?

DL - kapag below 3 years old ba ay free na and entrance? do you have to pay every ride na sasakyan mo or ride all you can na siya?
OP- parang hindi ko type but baka si hubby gusto.
Macau - okay ba ito with kids?

Thanks in advance sa mga sasagot. God bless

[chinablue]

^Sis visit their website. www.goldencrownhk.com andun lahat ng details ng room rates nila. And ang alam ko 3 months before the trip saka lang sila accept ng reservation.

[ceejhei]

Thank you chinablue

[Heatherette]

^^^

DL - below 2 ang free 3-11 may bayad na pero mas mura syempre than adult. You just buy ticket then lahat na pwede mo gawin sa loob. Kahit ilang beses mo pa sakyan or panuorin mga attractions dun.

Macau - for me hindi siya child-friendly, ang maiikutan kasi dun mga casinos, Senado Square, etc...

[avitot]

We stayed in twin bed room. sa room1 right beside the reception sa level 5. (pagpasok pa lang sa hallway ng room masama na kutob ko kasi nakatambak doon mga used and clean pillows and comforters)  super bad talaga ng experience namin doon.  maybe get rooms yung renovated nalang to be safe. i cannot vouch for that though since di ko nakita yung ibang rooms

nakasalubong ko yung pinoy family group of 7 nagrefuse sila magstay sa rooms nila. I guess the rooms we got are the ones not renovated kasi may renovated rooms na sila as per website. hayyy

anyway, re 5footwayin from the inn  mga 10-15 minutes yung slow walk lang senado kana so if sa st paul maybe add another  5 kung diretcho lakad wala ng kainan ng egg tarts ng beef jerky sa streets hehe. i really like it. di ko pa natry ang sintra hotel pero if of same range naman ang rates why not db.

[chinablue]

Share ko lang. Nakita ko sa site ng NgongPin na may scheduled maintenance ang cable car ng september 7-24. Kakasad naman kasi nataon pa sa trip namin ng mother ko. Excited pa naman mother ko na sumakay ng cable car. Ayoko naman pumunta sa Ocean Park just for the cable car. Hay. Sayang talaga. Nakakadisappoint lang.
