Someone's taking First. :lol

(Obviously I know it's in HKD)

18 in HK, not sure bout china but i think it's 18 too. however, a few places have higher age requirements in HK.

not sure what kind of alternative there would be for an ID. i would imagine that your DL would be the ideal ID to use, but i've never been ID'd before so i wouldnt know lol. also, correct me if i'm wrong but most places don't bother ID'ing anyway.

hmm...never heard anything about that before. is cheapoair allowed to just charge my credit card by skipping the last leg of the flight? guess i'll call air canada to confirm

Must use passport in HK if the police check. drivers license doesnt work there

HK Citizenship Card or Passport only.

Nobody's gonna jack your passport if you don't whip it out.
Also, nobody's gonna pull that shit if you go party in LKF. most of the people there are international students or Tourists just like you.

Start going to seedy places and it's a whole different thing.

If you're partying in LKF, and you wanna pre-drink.. pre-drink at the 7-11.
Or that bar with the Burgers. The one with all the different Dollar bills from all over the world. i believe the owner is Canadian from Montreal. I remember drunkenly ordering a La Fin du Monde but was given a Canadian for free. Huge downgrade, but the beer and my burger was free.. so I can't complain. I was drunk and I don't remember all the details haha.

There was a debate about that in one of the previous HK threads and the general consensus is that they can and most likely will.

The other issue is your checked luggage is likely routed over to Seattle or something along those lines.

Let me know what your answer from Air Canada is cause I've been looking at that deal for awhile :p (don't fly out till Oct)

NimbeeTT - you should be able to find free local WiFi within the area you're living. from my apartment, I can find "FreeGovWifi" which is free internet to use. Else the library works as already mentioned; which is again "FreeGovWifi".


SpuGen knows his shit, Club 7 for the win :thumbsup:

um what the fuck

how much cheaper are authentic watches and sunglasses are compared to Vancouver?

+1 i was thinking about buying a watch in hk

i dont know if this helps cuz i dont know anything about watches..but a rolex converted to 3k-4k in HK.. when i was window looking.. the watch looked like a regular submariner type like a seiko monster.. but smaller and blue/red

There's a lot more selection in Hong Kong if you're a watch fan for sure.

Is it better to wait until near the date or pre-buy?
I'm looking to go in December.. I know it's expensive.
What is the range I should be looking at anyways?

hi guys,

friend is looking to rent a hotel, hostel or apartment for 17 nights in hong kong, as close as possible to hong kong university. checking in november 2 and checking out november 19. The problem is, he wants a budget of $80 or so per night - something along those lines.

i looked and there aren't any hostels very close to hku. in addition the hotels in the central district are very pricey during that time.

does anybody have any alternatives or suggestions? would be open to somewhere near a mtr that would be very easy to get to hku area through. Anyone stayed anywhere in a similar place in the area in hong kong island?

Alright guys, I'm just wondering if It's worth it to go to Sai Kung to eat seafood nowadays. I've been reading up on mixed reviews about it. Wonder if it's worth the trip or has the novelty worn off nowadays due to it being a big tourist area.

If I don't go to Sai Kung for "cheap" seafood, what are some of the places I should go that won't seriously break the bank.

^lei yue mun?

Sai kung is not too bad, spend a late afternoon there. Just take a 299 from shatin or connect from Ma on Shan line.

So I'll get slightly ripped off at these places regardless right?.

I was just wondering if anyone knows the usual low season ticket price time frames? I'm thinking of going back this year and would like some hell! Thx

After CNY till May.

Sept/Oct.

pretty sure you can get some hell anywhere u go. but it's usually after summer, well before the holiday seasons or just after the holidays

Curios if anyone has ever brought meat through HK customs. Friends of mine who live there have asked me to bring some guanciale and pancetta for them this week. It's listed as illegal to bring in from the hong kong customs website but wonder if anyone else has had any first hand experience.
I guess a better question would be if there is any good places to pick up Italian deli products in hong kong?

I would not bring any meats through any customs. It's not worth the hassle.

everytthing is legal in HK
(aside from firearms and drugs.. DUHHHH) but meat, veggies, snacks are fine... you can't have ur pet dog but what you said is fine.

you can run through customs, just look straight and don't look at them or just admire their colonial uniforms :fullofwin:

tell your friend to do some searching, there is simply nothing that you can't buy in HK with enough money :troll:

Every upscale supermarket has a fancy meats deli. Prices are stupid of course, but if you are into things like fancy deli meats you probably make enough money to cover the markup.
