Hi KA,
2 big shopping complex linked to the MTR - one is like wisma Atrium selling stuff like Giorando, Espirit, G2000, the other selling Far East stuff (4 or 5 level high). Of cos the latter is more crowded as there are a lot of small shops and prices are relatively cheaper if you compare both. I heard Tsing Yi oso have similar shopping complex. BIG subjected to individual view, I have no time to shop ard so it took me 2 hrs to walk every level for the 2 bldg. Window-shopping.

Hi all latest update on weather, from yesterday there is no more rain, sunny till today and quite hot, almost 30C, but whoever going next week, you gals may not get anymore sale coz it's already final final sale and they are changing window display for fall fashion already.
Seems no one mention APM shopping mall in Kwun Tong MRT, very big and nice , a mixture of Far East and Wisma. Langham Place is also great for shopping too, lots of trendy stuff. Will be back tomorrow so i can still do last min shopping tomorrow morning, ke ke....

Hi,

I came bk this morning... touched down only 2am this morning. Flight was delayed due to typhoon. HK Airport was chaotic.... Almost all fights were delayed on fri.

On the whole was fun throughout my trip. All shops are putting up final sale signs.... nt all sizes are available liao...

The Timberland in HK is definitely cheaper than SG! abt SG100+ diff!! Worth buying. Bt u can get it cheaper at their warehouse, too bad their sizes limited. cant get the size my hb wants, ends up get it at their retail... still cheap though....

Adidas warehse, worth it to go.. coz it another 20% more than those reatil shops at FA YUEN ST..
Quite disappointed at FA YUEN ST coz they sell all sportswear... which i aldy got it at the warehse aldy. LAdies Street so so only.... Got many pooh n kitty stuufs bk!!

Experienced typhoon no. 3 there!!! Those going soon.... better get a strong umbrella, coz mine alomost get blown away.... heehee. Food is nice everywhere, any Cha Cang Ting is gd enuff and its really cheap.

hope the typhoon will subsides soon, coz i heard it only reached up to No.3 only... else cant shop liao coz will kena stayed in hotel.

Gals... Happy Shopping!!!!

Cheers

Hi gals,
I hoped those who were stuck at HKIA are fine. My colleagues went on business trip last week was affected by the typhoon as well. She oso got back this morning at 2am. At the moment, no typhoon from taiwan news, hence hong kong should have fine weather since a typhoon had gathered all the rain over.

Hi...juz came back few days ago. HK is very very hot now...worse than Spore. Not a single drop of rain when Im there for 5Ds. But shopping & food is shiok! Agree w Schnauzie that the sales currently is final liao. But very good buy. If you into Gucci..than you shld buy from there coz its much cheaper than here. Price diff is range from $80 to $150.

My friends and i were in hk for 4d3n, we realised that we needed more time to shop, a lot of place we didnt go, next time have to go at least for 1 week. As for branded goods, those who like LV, may check out the LV store there, coz my friend was looking a certain design but not available in SG. (but it was sold out.)
My friends came back with their luggage and one big china bag(white,blue,red strips)! I only 1 luggage!! (coz 1 find the things there quite exp)
We got no time to sit down n enjoy xu liu shan!! I missed the food!! yun-yang(Coffee with Tea), ice coffee, pork chop bun at macau cafe at TST, and po lor bun... Oh no! my mouse wet liao...Haha..

annabelle - not sure abt repulse bay coz i did not go..u can check the HK tourist website.

samgirl - stanford mongkok is extremely popular coz its v cheap. it is 10 min walk from mongkok mtr if u walk leisurely..think u can reach it in 5mins if u walk quickly. It is v near ro ladies street and fa yuen street and outside the hotel got alot of foodshops. it is very small (just like most hk hotels), nothing to shout about but i find it v value for monie! room's v clean...got comforter somemore keke..i like.

hi annabelle,

you can take bus 6, 6A or 260 from Central Exchange Square bus terminal. There is also 1 bus that goes to repulse bay but off hand i cant recall the number. Then if you dowan to alight, you can carry on the journey and the final stop will be stanley. stanely market is a lovely place
