Travel: China - Hong Kong

[bebebub]

LOLMum:

taking the mini private bus in hong kong is quite an experience.


the driver is f1 world champion (super fast and good at turns and stop - but accidents do happen), no standing allow so everyone gets a seat and pretty comfortable at times. passengers are usually very helpful, they call out the no. of seats left on board to let the driver know so that he can advise those boarding at the next stop about it.

however, as seats are limited, it could be a long wait. also, despite the many times i had taken this bus, i still find it awkward to have to shout out my intention to alight when approaching my destination.

\"司机，麻烦前面左转落车\"............. sometimes a bit kancheong cos' unfamilar of address and if could alight at that place.

Alamak, must shout out your intention ah? like that lagi :oops: as I can hardly speak any cantonese. Think better stick to MTR.

Him, micollh, the weather for HK has been 22-27C for the past few days. So, I don't need sweater. If you have small kids and will be traveling to the peak, long pants and a sweater will do. Otherwise, dressing in layers, T-shirt and then a sweater is easier because can remove sweater when you are indoors. Please remember to check the weather before leaving to see if a cold front is approaching. Have fun.

yeap sure. thanks MandyMummy !

Anyone can advise how much to exchange? 6D5N (2A n 1C)

You only need cash for food at small shops and buying tickets for trams, ferry rides etc. Assuming your family eats all 3 meals outside and snacks too, you may need about $30 - $50 per meal. $100 - 150 a day = $600 - $900 on meals

Add the odds and ends for transportation and entrance fees etc, it's best you change $1500 or more.

The rest of the shopping / restaurants can use credit card. If you rather not use cards, then it really depends on how frugal/ spendthrift you are.[


Thanks!
