Aside in HK airport, where can I purchase an On Loan Octopus card? My flight is bound for Macau and will go straight to HK the same day. Is there any place near the Ferry Terminal selling same in the airport where it can be returned and refunded? TIA

I was about to ask if Klook was a reliable company, obviously mukhang oo at marami sa inyo na doon bumibili.

I plan to buy all attraction tickets from them (Peak / MT, DL, and NP360) including airport transfers.

Will this itinerary be ok?
Day 1
ETD HK - 10 am
Proceed to hotel to check in / Lunch
4 pm - Peak Tram / Sky Terrace / Madame Tussauds  (for these, how much time should we allocate? Want to know if maabutan namin ang Symphony of Lights after)

Day 2
NP 360 (how long din to do NP 360 if we will do RT cable car, Motion 360, Stage 360 and Walk with Buddha and then go around a bit? )

If we have time late afternoon, mag Victoria Harbour na lang kami after, then if possible I want to look for a Catholic Church so we can hear mass -- Sunday kasi ito)

Day 3
Disneyland

Day 4
Free Time -- Shopping --- flight to Manila is at 6 pm so we have to leave hotel around 2.

We are booked at Holiday Inn Golden Mile. 5 adults 2 kids.

Hello,

Maganda ba sa wan chai area ? planning to book a hotel there

TIA!

[layzieg]

Are there any new attractions in HK besides the theme parks? Any new shopping areas besides mongkok, time square, and harbour city?

3 days na lang and i'll be at HK na. Ano magandang beauty products pwede bilhin sa HK?

[redhead69]

We're here na sa HK, medyo unproductive ngayong araw na 'to kasi nakalimutan ko sa laptop ko itinerary namin. So right now, gumagawa ako ng plan for the next 4 days. Later we'll be going to Ocean park, abutin ba kami ng almost 1 day don sa pag pasyal? Balak ko sana after we'll go to Avenue of Stars, we'll watch the Symphony of Lights. Then tomorrow we'll go to disneyland na. Ihuhuli na lang namin shopping namin. I'm planning to add 001, open deck bar. Siguro last part na rin yun.

* i went to Sasa to check the make up prices and perfume parang di nagkakalayo rin. Although 30ml of Elizabeth Arden green tea is 350 pesos lang. Worth it ba? Still searching for effective and worth it na products before buying. Na-trauma na ako nung nagSingapore ako kasi kuha lang ako ng kuha. Ngayon binubudget ko money namin. Rainy evening sa HK ngayon. Tomorrow daw wala. *cross fingers*

[kittycat228]

try mo sis sa bonjour, mas mura perfume doon

[smoothie]

^^bonjour, angel cosmetics, color cosmetics (not sure with the name(. Mas mura mga items dun.

[_pink12_]

^^^ Sasa, Bonjour and Lung Shing in Granville road. Compare mo lang ang prices. Ako naman, if marami akong bibilhin, sa Sasa na ako bumibili kasi pag may na-reach kang amount, magaganda naman yung Gift with Purchase nila. Like last time, I got 3 sets of packing cubes for free.

After Ocean Park, you can go to The Peak. Tapos ferry going to Avenue of Stars.

Sino na naka-try or stay sa sunny day hotel mongkok?

[choclairs]

hello

Sino po nasa HK ngayon? Ask ko lang anong weather? Super init ba?
We'll be there tomorrow for 5-day hk-macau trip, sana okay yung weather and may sale pa ba?

[trishevil]

Hi. We're going to Hong Kong and Macau this month. Maulan pa rin po ba this month? Or is it autumn na?

[Heatherette]

Please check or backread po tayo about weather. It has been posted several times where to check.

[redhead69]

Moody ang weather. The other night maulan. Pero around morning-afternoon mainit. Bring your sunblock, and advice ko wag kayo masyado mag make up dahil matutunaw lang (based on my experience)

So for 5 days madami dami rin kami napuntahan, yun nga lang pinaka best is wear sneakers and flats. Bumili rin kami ng perfume which is late ko na nabasa na sa bonjour cheapest. Sa Sasa kami bumili ng perfume, okay naman price. Nag iisip lang ako bumili ng canmake, pero too late. Di na ako nakabili ng make up sa HK. Magpapabili na lang ako. Ang naging hobby ko while staying sa HK is comparing rates sa PH,HK and Japan. Sa etude naman ang bago lang nila doon na wala dito sa ph is yung Dumbo, Angry birds na Eye kit (i dont know if they have it here na) and Finding Dory skin care line. Comparing the price sa HK Etude to PH Etude, they're just the same. Ang pinaka, pinaka, worth it na nabili ni bf for me is yung Coach na bag, sa line outside the boutique they already gave us 25% off, and we got another 50% off. So from 4,200 HKD to 1,750 HKD. Not bad no? Di ko rin ineexpect, nasurprise ako sobra. Kaya i'm just going to use it if we're together since it's special for me. Sa kanya galing e. Haha! Sana pala i compared prices sa PH Maybelline and Revlon sa HK while nasa PH ako (collect prices) Di ko alam if tama ginagawa ko, so end up. Wala ako masyado nashopping puro pasalubong lang, Sayang di rin kami natuloy sa Ocean Adventure kasi sobrang pagod kami sa Tram and Disneyland.

And ang pinaka trick sa ladies market, ask for the price. For example it's 200 HKD, kumunot noo ka muna and titigan mo muna yung product, then aask ka ng nagbebenta "How much do you want, okay i give it to you 180 dollars" *chinese accent* then i told her "Nah i'll buy it next time auntie" Then humabol wsiya "okay i give it to you 150" And lalakad ako dahan dahan papalayo, "okay 120" "okay 80! I give it to you big discount"*chinese accent* so yeah parang ganon nag wowork sa akin para makatawad ako. yung 2 case ng iphone i got it for only 50 dollars pero they're selling it for 100 each. Good deal na no? I dont know if nakatipid ba talaga ako hahaha!
