I need the sun to heat those old bones.

Nice to take.. but take during off peak hours... its a bit cramped... and because its so cheap... many chose to take it... so its a bit like Singapore's rush hour where it is more packed....

Boarding is from the back... at a fixed price of HKD 2.50 (SGD$0.45) per trip....

yeah... boarding from behind.. abit special, nice experience.

the weather now is abit humid and warm... and actually it is a typhoon period... may go HK again maybe in Nov or late Feb... January too cold for me... lol.

Junyang700 SG

dun tempt me go Hong Kong again can.. LOL..

I am waiting for Cathay Pacific to drop their fares again... before I go.... but ironically I doubt they will as the economy gets "a little bit better"...

hahaha... i am tempted to go again and again... all the time i went solo (alone).. my brother stays (@Sai Wan Ho) and work there (at Central), hence accomodation is free... so, only air tickets + makan.. (but when i wait for my brother for dinner... dinner is free for me too... ).

Just_do_it_lah SG

Jetstars fly there daily... but haven't try...

flied on SQ.. (off peak period).. can't go on peak period... very expensive.

the language is a big headache for non canto speakers

Haha.... LOL... I prefer going there during Mid November.... =) Was there on the 2 coldest day of the year last year.... Ngong Ping 360's temperature hits 9 C.... LOL.... and downhill is about 12 - 14 C..

I went once during March.... its so hazy....

And I know July / August are the worst months to go to Hong Kong.... Hot weather, if not risk of typhoon / heavy rain ....

Just_do_it_lah SG

Nah... they can speak Mandarin de.... just that English is preferred (though their Mandarin is better than their English)...

In restaurants and char chan teng, just order in Mandarin...

Especially when you go to tourist destinations.... speak English.... cos to them... PRCs speak Mandarin.... other chinese speak cantonese... =)

Especially at The Peak and Ocean Park.... PRCs have a dedicated queue, as compared to OTHERS... because the PRCs went there and cut queue all the time... that they have to limit their numbers.... -_-"
