Going to Hong Kong thread [Merged]

[Monseratto]

hey pips, my sister and nephew are going to HK this december 26-29. can you recommend a:

1. travel agaent,
2. hotel. somewhere in between disney and best/better shopping areas.

i've only been to the airpost, di pa ko nakapunta talaga so wala ako alam sa HK. i am also planning next summer vacation so we will probably stay where my sister will stay. TIA!

Plan your trip yourself since those tours are useless and waste of time.

Just get a hotel in Kowloon, since it's easy take the MTR to Disneyland. But beware, since you are planning this late and during a busy time of the year, it will be expensive.

Please take time to read, you won't regret it....

Be ready for the crowds/lines as well at HK Disney as it's peak season after Christmas and before New Year AFAIK.

Book hotel in Kowloon much cheaper than in HK.

Best Roast Goose I have tasted is Yung Kee.

This will convince you that Chinese cooking is one of the Best in the World.

Never been to Yung Kee in all the years that I've been going to Hong Kong. I did a little searching after reading this post. Their 1-Michellin Star have apparently been dropped. Their service have deteriorated, and their roast goose have become a hit-or-miss in terms of crispiness of the skin. And yet they have the most expensive goose in HK.

Never been there ka pala eh.

[boybi]

Yes, never yet.

When I saw the post about how good their roast goose are, I really wanted to try it on my next trip to HK. But after reading those negative reviews on Yung Kee, I'm now having second thoughts. I don't want to go all the way there and be disappointed.

*marg, when was the last time you went to Yung Kee? Did you notice any changes to their food and service?

btw, sa pa-kak meron din mga love t-shirt just like in mongkok.

[boybi]

Mahaba lagi pila dyan sa Tim Ho Wan. Kahit dun sa Mongkok branch nila, haba ng pila. Pero dyan sa IFC, pwdeng kuha ka muna ng number, tapos ikot ka muna sa mall. Be sure lang na makabalik ka before tawagin number mo.

So may tax ba talaga o wala coz balak ko sana bumili pag punta namin sa January. Ang problema lang pag may sira tapos need mag claim ng warranty di ko lang alam kung universal/worldwide ang warranty ng apple products.

If you don't declare it, you won't get taxed. Carry it like your own phone. If you can do without the box, just leave it, or mix it up in your luggage. Apple's international warranty should be recognized regardless were it was bought. Just be sure to retain the official reciept. Message below also applies to IPhones...

The warranty on the iPad, except in certain special circumstances such as the Verizon model sold in the US, is international, so as long as you have your receipt which in some cases is required, you should be able to get support for the iPad in the Philippines. Some authorized service centers balk about servicing products purchased outside of their country, but they shouldn't. If you ever do have a problem with a service center, call Apple tech support:

Contacting Apple for support and service

pasensya na mga bossing. mura na ung iPhone kung yan na talaga ang price. I was comparing it as SG na 948SGD ang 16gig pero may ++ pa kaya mga around 34k when you convert it in peso. langhya, kala ko mura na sa SG.

Maliit lang box ng iPhones just put the box in your luggage, hinde na bubuksan yan luggage mo Dito, with all my yearstraveling never pa binuksan ng customs yun luggage ko kahit balikbayan box.

Kahit makita nila yan, walang tax yan dahil personal use mo naman yan iphond

*retz, Anong tax ang babayaran Sa Singapore pag doon ka bumili ng iPhone?
