Advisory : Travel to Hong Kong

[pet]

Stayed at Prudential in Oct 2008. Paid HKD700/nite.

From Jordan MRT, you need to take escalator up to the hotel (NO elevator!!); i think like 3 levels up!
If you returned late (think by 9 or 10pm), the escalator stop liao.. so u climb escalator like staircase.
If I'm not mistaken, in front of Ethan hotel is the bus stop for the airport bus.
(OR is it Nathan hotel? )

Other than that, the hotel itself is close to surrounding areas.

For reference: www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/

Enjoy the trip (albeit in May next year) !

but its quite cheap .. room okie, quite value for money for tht location...

Thanks everyone for the info thus far. I am still trying to digest the info.

I booked tics with jetstar during their 1 for 1 free promo. Total for 2 px return we paid about slightly less than 600.but come to think of it, might not be too much savings since accomodation seems very ex over there. haiz..think die le lah haiz!!!

I stayed at hotel panoroma. It was nice. Convenient to MTR (Tsim Sha Tsui). It is good to check out Longchamp there for it is a lot cheaper and when I was there in June, my friend bought 3 of the bags for like slightly over $100. Promotional price so I got one for my mum. Do go for afternoon tea. The experience is very chill! hah. Of course if you are into Prada, do check out Space outlet. Only thing is you have to find your way there which is tricky.

Going to HK begining of Dec. Any good AD to shop for Rolex? Looking at GMTIIc and Lady Datejust TT Rosegold...any recommendation?? Anyone been there recently have visited the G-Star boutique? 2 years back, I visitied once..now they remove the address from their main website le...duunoe still there anot? Anyone can confirm? : )

[exxondus]

thanks for the input.

btw, hows the security in HK? I mean if we go out at night and walk along the streets and stuff?

I heard from my friend that Rolex is very commonly seen there haha...so might be safe to for once wear my GMTIIc there..but most prob I wnt dare haha...

Think I watch too much Gu Huo Zai movies liao....later walk halfway tio chop

The Harbour, u must visit at night...

Hi Exxondus,


You must surely visit the Harbour at night...brilliant light show... especially romantic place... great for wife and you... .. u shall see a lot of "Pak tor" couples...

If you are an Adidas or Nike sneaker fan, then drop by Fan Yuen Street/ Tung Choi Street... they have some limited editions plus pieces not launched in Sing market.... I am still wearing one bought a few years back..

Tim Sum is a must.... at their Yum Cha restaurants... prices are reasonable... get a feel of it...

Breakfast... you should try one of those that the locals patronise... soya milk with their local orders...

Oh yes.. it is a secure place to wear ya collection out.. I have been there a couple of times... haven't spotted a single police chase baddies or ku wo chai kinda of movie scene... I sashay around in my PAM... and well.. so far so good..

And.... Disney is just mesmerising.. especially when the night show comes on.. even the train to Disney is magical...

I could go on and on...

Have a good break, mate.

No worries with the securities, they have more expensive rides, watches & housing then we have here. Only thing you have to stay alert from the mainlanders from pickpocketing.

You will see more "chai lo" patroling the streets then we have here. HK is a reputable shopping and food paradise. You be surprise you might even find yourself more at home there

wah thanks for the link!!

I was stupidly searching only the travel section of this forum.

Just another check. If go buy branded stuff like from Prada warehouse, etc..can use Credit card? I don really wanna bring too much cash there also.
