^^ Sold out na sis

Hi!

Travel agency called and na cancel yung booking namin sa hotel in Mongkok. They called to tell us na we will be transferred in Silka Far East Hotel, Tsuen Wan, Kowloon.

Any thoughts? May nearby food places and shopping streets rin ba dito?

Hassle lang, na plan na namin san mag sshopping sa Mongkok tas lipat kami sa Tsuen Wan

Thanks in advance!

Yan din ang hotel na kasama sa package na nainquire ko from the agency.

Mga sis, san ba ako makakabili ng yummy cakes malapit sa goldencrown? Para paggising ni baby ko on her bday, she'll be surprised. TIA

[triciaaamaldita]

Yan din ang hotel na kasama sa package na nainquire ko from the agency.

Sa August pa sis travel dates niyo diba? Will give reviews about the hotel once we get back.


Anyways, malapit na po ang travel date namin. Naghahanap hanap na ko ng papapalitan ng money.
May nakita ako kanina sa mall, Php 5.90 ang 1 HKD Good deal na ba ito? dito na ko mag pa exchange? or mas okay palitan sa Hong Kong na mismo?

Thank you

[icegayle]

^Sige sis. Let me know. Have a safe travels and enjoy!

[swtgrl_bee]

Sis triciaaamaldita, saan yan? Please let me know. Super good deal yan. Saang mall yan? nasa range kasi na 6.4 to 6.56 ang range na nakikita ko ng selling of HKD from them eh.

[icegayle]

Still confuse pa kung Mag Japan kami or HK. Pero 80% malamang HK coz we don't need the visa. Anyway, eto ang draft ng IT namin sa August. Traveling with my husband, mom na senior, and my 3yrd old son.

Day 1 - Might be staying sa TST area. Or mag City tour using Old tram. Or Roam lang siguro sa area or check some tours in case wala kami ma-book sa Klook.

Day 2 - Disneyland

Day 3 - The Peak

Day 4- Macau (meron ba package sa Macau na pewee mag-tour samin or dapat DIY kami dito?

Day 5 - Flight back

In between the days wala pa ako naiisip kasi I planned to make it relaxing since I have a kid at senior.

Any idea or inputs mga misses?

[triciaaamaldita]

@icegayle

Will do. Thank you!

@swtgrl_bee

Sa Forex sa grocery ng Market! Market!
Natuwa naman ako. Sige, dito nalang ako papapalit. Magandang deal na pala ito. Tho di ko pa na try sa BDO Check ko uli mamayang lunch. Baka nagbago na agad rates nila. Will keep you posted.

Excited for our family trip from feb 26 to march 2. hehe. We'll be staying sa Golden Crown and Nov palang pinabooked ko na talaga. Two seniors ang kasama ko, wala silang choice kundi sundin ang IT na ginawa ko. hahaha. Though I'm sure di kami maliligaw kasi my dad worked sa HK for 25 years. But now lang talaga sya makakapamasyal.  So far eto yung IT namin.  We'll skip Macau and Ocean Park, next time nalang para may reason na bumalik.

Sis triciaaamaldita, as in yung Forex na green yung signage nila? Okay pala rates diyan. Hanap nga din ako. Sa QC area kasi ako.

[triciaaamaldita]

Hi sis @swtgrl_bee,

Nag inquire ako dun sa Forex sa Market! Market! Hindi siya yung green na signage. money changer lang inside the grocery.

Sadly, di pala sila nag sesell ng HKD, buying lang. Kaya pala ganun kababa

Sorry, na excite lang din ako kasi maganda rates. ((

[omneecka]

^try nyo sa Sanry's sis inside market market din, beside Mercury drug in the main entrance. may money changer din na katabi ang Sanry's compare nyo na lang san mas okay exchange rate.

HTH 😊😊

[swtgrl_bee]

^^Kaya pala ganun ang price sis. Kasi super bagsak siya compare sa BDO, BPI and Sanry's. Okay pa sa Mirador Mansion according sa PEX. Kaya gagawin ko papalit nalang ako ng sakto dito sa Manila for Octopus cards and snacks. The rest sa Mirador Mansion sa may Best.

[triciaaamaldita]

Hi sis omneecka,
Thanks for the tip. check ko later Sana maganda rates

Hi sis swtgrl_bee,
Oo nga. Akala ko din kasi. Haha sorry false alarm
Ganun na lang din siguro gagawin ko, sakto lang papapalit ko dito then dun nalang. Tho not sure ako if may magandang money changer dun. Sa Tsuen Wan kami mag stay. Maghanap nalang ako



UPDATE: (2/3/17)
I checked Sanry's in Market Market, 6.55 ang rate PHP to HKD 

[Hermione_Granger]

Hi! I don't know why, nabura ata post ko dito
Anyway, thank you to this group I already book Golden crown for our HK trip. Hindi na available yung choice room namin na dalawang 4beds quadruple. They gave us the superior quadrule and 2 renovated couple room instead. Nagtaka lang ako kasi the price in the website for the renovated couple room is around 430HKD but they gave it at the proce of HKD350 instead.
May nakaranas na ba nag ganito?

Thanks sissies!

[omneecka]

^hi sis!

when travel date nyo? possible is maybe non-peak season trip nyo kaya mas mababa rate ng rooms ng GC.

HTH 😊😊

[Hermione_Granger]

Hi sis omneecka!
March 30-April 1 kami. Siguro nga hindi yun peak.
Excited na ako since this will be the first out of the country trip of the whole family.
Question again, can you suggest trips na free lang or minimal cost?
Thanks again sa mga sasagot!

[cassey14]

There's a promo pala sa HK Disneyland website, ticket plus combo meal is $589 HKD. I'm thinking din na eto nalang kuhanin ko instead na bumili pako ng separate na meal voucher sa klook. 

[swtgrl_bee]

^Oo nga mura yan, two days kami sa DL naghahanap pa ako ng okay na deal. Sana meron ding sila two days DL plus voucher meals na din, kasi yung free meal pang 1 day ticket lang.
