  2. What info do you need. You can email me and I will tell you anything you need to know. Hard to put it here

  3. Check out http://www.tripfilms.com for some great videos about Hong Kong and what to do there.

    Here's a video about the street snacks: http://www.tripfilms.com/Travel_Video-v6...

    And a video about the Jade Market:

    The same filmmaker made a few more about Victoria Peak, Lamma, and where she stayed. The videos are entertaining and give some good tips! Hope this is helpful and you have a nice trip.


  4. Tour along the MTR track is a good and economical way of transportation.

  5. Drinking has not been something the locals were big on in the past but it is becoming much more popular with the younger generation. There are plenty of bars . The traditional hotspot for both eating and drinking with westerners is Lan Kwai Fong in Central. Wan Chai is also fun, if slightly sleazier with numerous girly bars along Lockhart Road, while Causeway Bay and Eastern Soho out beyond Quarry Bay offer a less touristy experience.

    Popular lagers include Tsing Tao (pronounced 'ching dow') or San Miguel. Carlsberg is also very popular and widely available. Beer, wine and spirits are also widely available for purchase, including at supermarkets and 7-Eleven stores.

    Imported San Miguel is better than the locally produced variety. More expensive bars will likely serve this, but at others you may have to specifically ask for "Philippine San Miguel" (and pay more). At the lower end only local stuff will be available. Imported bottles can be easily distinguished as they have brown glass with white frosted lettering. Locally filled bottles use a label.

    One of the best ways to drink in Hong Kong is to have a walk around all the bars first and have a look which ones are doing special offers and what time they run Happy Hour. Most bars have a Happy Hour, which is a cost effective way to drink. Also keep in mind the races on a Wednesday night at Happy Valley race course, you only pay $10 for entry and pay around $100 for a jug of beer. Also Wednesday nights is ladies night, during which many bars in Wan Chai give free drinks to the ladies.

    Ned Kelly's Last Stand A really good bar to go for pre-partying. Located on Ashley road parallel to the famous Nathan road on Kowloon side, it's an Australian themed jazz bar with great food and good live music almost every night starting at 21-22, which is about when the happy hour ends. The place is laid out with long tables where total strangers can sit together, it's quite big with the frequent visitors to Hong Kong such as travelling businessmen and the art-community.

    Sticky Fingers The awesomest place around? Who knows, but its a nice place to get some women and listen to a great house-band play live rock music on stage. The drinks are pretty good too.

    Knutsford Terrace is a popular drinking and dining spot in Kowloon but there are many other places in and around Tsim Sha Tsui. Some of them can get pretty expensive though - up to 50HK$ for a drink in some places.

    Joe Bananas A wonderful place located on Lockhart road, where the drinks are friendly and the women are cheap (or was it the other way around?).

    Skitz Sports Bar A bar with a good selection of drinks with 2 pool tables, darts and large selection of sports on big screens.

    Armani Bar A more upscale bar with great house music in a trendy indoor setting as well as an outdoor section.

    Red Bar A mostly outdoor bar at the top of the IFC building (in Central) that usually hosts big events such as on New Years Eve and more.

    Blues by the Bay Located on the Avenue of the Stars one would tend to have a drink there while watching the Symphonie of Lights. But the drinks and cocktails in this bar can not be recommended, since the quantities are very small compared to what you would expect for the price.


  6. Hong Kong is a very exciting city, similar to New York City in my opinion. Hong Kong, though, is a little more busier.

    Most people speak English there, so you probably won't have to worry about the language. If you do go to a local restraunt, then you may have a tough time.

    Hong Kong has a lot of Western eateries there like Dan Ryan's (really good steaks!) and McDonald's.

    The hotels there are really nice, and if you have the money, stay at the Peninsula Hotel. It is the nicest hotel I've ever stayed at. It was where the Japanese stayed during WWII, and they used it as their hideout. It isn't creepy or old; it's beautiful. If you can't stay there, then just have breakfast or lunch there because the arcitechtual design there is breathtaking.

    If you want to go to a mall, then there are plenty of them, trust me. There is probably a mall around every corner.

    If you want to visit something that makes Hong Kong unique or special, go to Ocean Park. It is really fun and there are pandas and a lot of nature things to do there.

    Also, you could go to Disney World, but I've never been there before. Oh, and you should take the trolley that goes up to the peak. It's called The Peak Hong Kong. Here is a link to the site: http://www.thepeak.com.hk/full/en/index....

    Some people say it's okay, but once you get up to the top, you can see all over Hong Kong!

    I hope that this helped!
