Advisory : Travel to Hong Kong

[ThomasSG]

Seems like have to take pre-caution to spread out the safe keeping of cash, and also be on special alert in crowded places. Toilet also can happen!!!

Buy those cash/credit cards wallet with strip to hang on neck and conseal under clothing.

I don't mind losing cash but not credit or ATM cards. Major hassle to lose these items.

I had a friend encountered this before. However, this was way way before iphone releases.

He placed his pants on the brick wall behind him, and went on with his business. He didn't noticed his pants was missing until he finished whatever he had to do. Later he found his pants in the next two cubicle away with wallet and mobile missing but keys were intact.

thick face skin walk out, and suck thumb lor. otherwise how? you gonna just stay in the toilet, or you going to rip the toilet cover, and use that until you can find a way to get home

Or maybe the thief will drop you a note and say, your pants are down the end cubicle minus the valuables

Just back from HK 2 days back. Good time to visit HK and u love the colder weather there in Jan. You should try their Ngong Ping 360 crystal cabin cable car http://www.np360.com.hk/html/eng/front/index.asp . Recommended. At the same time you can visit city gate wholesale shopping mall next to the cable car station, where you can find good bargains Like Armani, Rock pot, Esprit & many more. If you miss our local food, there is a Food Republic.( Dont expect the laska or prawn mee to taste like ours).

If you want to shop for electronic goods, the price there are very much cheaper. Bought some electronic stuffs and you be surprise the saving can be like in hundreds, depends on the value of the items. Branded stuff like Prada, LV etc is also much cheaper there. Take more advantage now with the stronger Sing$ for better deal.

Nothing much to shop for clothing as the seasons now are mainly winter wear.

Hope this helps.

Hong Kong vacation

Hi,

I believe most of ROC forumers have been to Hong Kong. In fact, I am planning a short trip again. This will be my 3rd time. I wonder could anyone of you give me some good suggestions. I had been to Disneyland, Victoria Peak etc. Wonder any other good suggestions? I was told to go to some islands for cheap and good seafoods. Anyway, could any of you suggest some good itinery?

Meanwhile, I may also visit some watch shops. Any good ADs to recommend? For instance, I believe those ADs in Kowloon are selling more expensive than other ADs further away in town. Any good recommendations? Thanks.

From HK island's jetty, u can take an hour ferry ride to " Dai-Yi-San" the old fishing villeage offer many good sea foods just w/in the jetty, after that u cna take a locla bus to see the big budda and round the island, part of it...good to kill time for 1/2 day..Watch AD.. not sure..

Have a go at Ocean Park if you have not been there.

But admission ticket from travel agent will be cheaper than buying at the park itself.
