ah baka yung sa kabila street yung dragon hostel. yung $220 pala pwede tatlo. hehe. kaso masikip na kapag 3 kayo. liit lang kwarto. may aircon,tv, cr. sarap nung kainan sa temple street. yung nasa daan, fresh lahat. seafoods, gulay etc.. sarap din ng yang jing beer. pero bakit mainitin ulo nila. habang kumakain kami sa isa sa mga chinese resto me nag-away dalawa nagseserve dun. ang ingay ingay na. dinig ng mga customer. parang wala sila etiqutte. nabubulaho na mga kumakain hanga lumabas na yung chef para umawat. hirap din umorder ng walang picture yung menu

Hi all

hindi ko sure kung naitanong na ito haba na kasi thread na ito eh. hindi ko pa tapos basahin lahat.

kung matagalan and stay sa hk. meron ako mga kaunti tanong.
1. ano sim ba dapat kong bilin na medyo mura pag tumatawag or sms sa pilipinas at the same time mura pang tawag sa mga taga hk? Para anytime na ma homesick ako puwede ako tumawag or mag sms

2. Magkano ba internet maski dialup para pag homesick ako tapos nasa bahay naman ako puwede email lang.

3. yung wifi ba sa hongkong ok na alternative sa sms or GPRS?
4. anu pa suggestion ninyo para makamura sa communication sa hk to phil.

thanks
,Fernan

just for everybody's reference

1. Peoples SIM
2. Dial up not sure. If you have something like iPass (something like a Global ISP that can connect to a majority of other ISP's in numerous countries), you can use both Dial up and Wireless in HK. Sometimes hotels have free internet access so check your hotel.

3. There are a lot of Hotspots in HK and it's a good alternative (chikka / skype / etc).

4. Chikka / Skype / Peoples Sim (cheapest in the market). I think there are smart or was it globe prepaid IDD sim's also in World Wide.

How long are you staying anyway?

hindi ko pa sure eh kung gaano katagal. siguro mga 6 to 12 months. research muna kasi ako bago ako mag decide lumipat sa hk company.

Pre, if I may suggest. Some years ago I used to buy bike parts and accessories in Mongkok. I get off at Prince Edward MTR and walk a couple of blocks on Tung Choi St., there are around three bike shops beside some car parts shops. Tung Choi is a long road, it goes all the way to the Mongkok ladies market. But Prince Edward is the closest.

Someone told us na meron daw mga Factory Outlets sa Tung Chung. Is this true? Which exit should we take at the Tung Chung MTR station to get to these outlets?
