RE: Travel with me #38 : Staying in a Hotel in Hong Kong - unforeseen circumstances and the reality vs my expectations.
I would guess that Japan and maybe Dubai are the only other places with roofed escalators for footbridges.. Still, the city is awfully expensive to live in, see where all the money is going to..
@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
