RE: Travel with me #38 : Staying in a Hotel in Hong Kong - unforeseen circumstances and the reality vs my expectations.
@sweetsssj really?
I thought its a shopping paradise?
my friends and I wanted to explore it for just a week or two to score some branded bags - women he he
That's not a bad idea, certainly there are lots of high end fashion brands there. They're everywhere actually. But i don't see many local customers. The prices are higher than say somewhere like London or Paris.
@sweetsssj - I see, never been in HK so I got no idea about the prices
I normally just take advantage of duty free privileges - but then it's quite limited when it comes to design back when I was in Asia - someone tipped us they were cheaper than in Singa - if you're in Asia.
ah yes, i think the tax rebate is definitely a good thing. Be careful of counterfeit goods though. They are aplenty over there. Unless of course that's what you want to buy!
@sweetsssj replying on your nested comment. Yes, it's about the tax - as for the counterfeit - darn we have a lot in Ortigas - no need to fly to HK for fakes the real ones are in Greenbelt Makati and Rockwell Power Plant or The Fort - near my place but the price are like 4x than here :0 - sighs
