Please post your holiday experiences here.
Or if you need some information about your upcoming holiday trip, post your questions here.

I just returned from Hong Kong. 4D3N free and easy.
If anyone intends to go to ladies street, you got to be brave at bargaining.
My advice, whatever the opening quote, slash the price by more than half.
My friend got a handbag for HK$90 (opening quote was HK$230)
If they won't lower the price, just walk away, there will be another store down the street selling the same thing.
Most of the time, they'll stop you from walking away by giving in to you.

pqr SG

are you a freq traveller with lots of experience ?

is shanghai MRT up and running well?

chrisp SG

No lah.
Not enough $$ to be considered frequent traveller.
Last year went to Australia, NewZealand... basically skiing trips.
This year Hong Kong (done)
Going to Taiwan (end of this year)

I've not been to Shanghai... not sure about that area.
Let's post a new thread.
See if anyone responds.

The pictures are so nice on the bogs.

I did watch the shop Heros (enjoy the show a lot)
Is that place really the place where Hiro was teleported to?
I thot New York looks like that everywhere...
(then again, I can't comment 'cos I've never been there)

Parka SG

Hiro was transported to Time Square. The show did a camera 360 on Hiro so you can see the background is clearly Time Square, if you have seen Time Square.

Only Time Square look like Time Square

chrisp SG

Wow.
I must see it for myself one day.
Hopefully next year???

Hi Browniebaobao,

I just returned from Hong Kong.
And I'm planning to go Taiwan.... actually already confirmed going end of this year.

Could you post your experience of Taiwan holiday in the "Taiwan Thread"
http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=285396

I will start a new Hong Kong Thread and post my experience there.

See ya there.

Hi Cool-gal,

Why do you say you are missing NY?
What was the most memorable thing you miss about NY?
When were you there?

Parka SG

Every building in New York seems to have a story to tell. There is so much history and architecture.

Some of them are even older than Singapore itself, even before Raffles came to Singapore!

Tombstones are so old that weather has eroded any carvings on them.

If there's one place to go in USA, make it New York. Vegas doesn't even come close, in my opinion.

Pion SG

Going to thailand for a bachelor party.....

Friend getting married on 24th Oct.

I guess ...must try thai foods gua Laughing

Agenda SG

i went to ALOT of countries leh, all asian

u want me to say all meh

Pion SG

Probably the only place I miss the most is Paris and Switzerland.

I like walking around the french riveria, admiring the roadside stalls especially the mime artiste. You can expect to find many works of arts at these stalls from replica paints to handcrafted and meticulously detailed statuettes.Unforgettable..

Cool-gal SG

the people ter are frenly and the place wer i lodged(pennsylvania) was nice n peaceful.

Parka SG

Thinking of going to Australia next. Japan and Europe maybe later when I have more money. Their currencies are too strong.
