Skywolf, I am not too sure if it is the mid level escalator one.....BUT was featured in News many years back cos is the first escalator that travel along the street. You got any idea??
Rachel, me no clubbing leh...BUT sure will be gg to LGF to bio handsome guys .... heehee .... maybe I can see my SOLER along the street of LGF or maybe along Macau Street.....*dreaming*
Er....anyone any idea how to go SOHO? What is there to see?

hi gals,
the mid level escalator is at central... come out from central MTR and follow the signs.. its just a very very long escalator that will lead you up to a point that you can take a cab to the peak directly.. along this escalator, there are many exits that you can just get out and shop at the nearby area, lynhurst terrace and soho just to name 2... there are signages so u need to look out...
SOHO is an area of 3 streets that is more active at nite as there are many ang moh bars.. in the day time, some eateries are open and there are exquiste shops that sells HK local designer stuff.. mostly not that cheap but very unique...
to go up, just take the escalator. to go down, just walk down back to central mrt.. very convenient...

YY,
I see... the only escalator tt came to my mind was the Mid levels de.... as minssy mentioned, it has stops along the way so tt you can get off to explore the area. But hor, take note on the hrs its heading upwards. I remembered vaguely tt in the mornings, its downward moving to send residents to the bottom to get to work. Then in the late morning (perhaps), its upwards going de.
My bo luo bao! Will pop by to get. Kekeke...

I did not make any appt then, just walk in BUT is good to make an appt, just in case.
of course....
For female, they will ask a female to attend to you and for your better half, a guy will tend to him.
For the body massage, which is in the room, when i was with my sis then, they gave us a room with a center partition so we cannot see each other during the massage.
BTW, if you better half dun like massage, he can go to the computer center just across the street, called Golden something. Will be an eye opening for him....heehee....

skywolf,
if you go Shamshuipo MTR, just hope and pray that your HB will not look at the sign board. Cos "Golden Compter Center" is written on the board.
Since not going NP360, then you do your shopping at Shamshuipo lor cos there are so many wholesaler for toys, beads, cloth etc etc along the streets...take time walk walk and is really nice.
If not, no cable car, take tram to THE PEAK!!
BTW, when are you going and where will you be staying?

Ger2,
When r u gg? I realised after booking tt its a 4 storey bldg niah. I can send u some pics on hw e rm is like if u dun mind e fact tt max u can stay is 3rd floor coz there's no lift to 4th floor! ~_~ So I cant possibly lug lugguge up/down the 1st/last day mah.
Webbie is: www.evergreenhotel.com. I took a 4N stay, @ HKD$550/nite. Inclusive of taxes n b/f, though i may not stay in for the b/f.

ger2,
More or less lor. I think to start, go to exit that leads you to Golden Computer centre. Once out of the exit, is like a cross junction. Left, right and front is all road. And you know HK lah....everywhere is signboard. To locate those wholesale shop is not difficult. Just look at the signboard and their shop signage.

I think your description of the travel from Airport to Jorden is correct. But i dun think is that complex. Think only change one train from laichi will do...Better chk at information counter before setting off to Jorden Are you staying at Shamrock / predential hotel??
<font size="+2"><blink>ger2</blink></font>,
I not sure where to get it in HK besides Yuan Lan itself. I have a half day tour with my agent in HK. So to purchase the Lao Po bing, we just make order from the tour guide. And they will sent to our hotel a day before or on the same day of our departure.
