I have a good tip for you; the Chinese food there is fantastic!
My tips :
- Buy electronics : with the AUD so high, they are much cheaper than over here
- Buy electronics at a major brand : they can’t actually rip you off because you are a foreigner
- Find someone that can speak Cantonese to show you around
- Eat a major food chains – you’ve got no chance with only English at the small local stores
- 999 is the emergency number (not 000)
Btw, how long are you going for?
5 days – landing march 2nd, flying out on the 7th morning.
Visit my friend Amy! She just went over there, hehe.
- eat at the famous mango place that has heaps of mango desserts. don’t worry there are heaps of them around. its a red looking cafe
- always shop around for prices. there is this building that has 3 floors of computer ware and each level gets cheaper and cheaper. you can buy cameras there too and its cheaper than on the street. i can’t remember where it is or what its called. i can ask my dad if he remembers.
- buy clothes! hk people are so fashionable!
- electronic shopping is best at kow long island
- eat heaps!
- lots of places doesn’t have an english menu
- lonely planet does a pretty good job of taking you to places
- there is a street full of pubs and clubs on the hongkong island. definitely must go there. sooooo much fun. there are two aussie bars. kangaroo and woollamaloo (?)
- temple street is the man’s market because it has more electronics
btw hongkong isn’t as cheap as it used to be.
omg i love hongkong. the late opening hours the shopping! oh the shopping and the food!
its not cold there. i went there in winter and it was warmer than melbourne’s “summer” -_- btw it was freezing on saturday. i had so many layers on!!!!!
haha, wow… I’m not there on holiday, I have to actually get some work done >.< but thanks for the tips!
p.s. it’s woolloomooloo (Sydney suburb :D)
p.p.s. and you wonder why I moved to Sydney :D
