If u land in HK every one will tell u - take the Airport Express metro train. But if u r on budget, u will pay WAY to much for this. The single ride to town will cost u 100 $, which is regular ripping u off. It's the fastest way, but u can get there for less than 20$!
Go to the arrival hall, then…

I am sorry for the trauma that this will cause to some people, but after a week of scouring, bubble tea is not only scarce but of very poor quality in Hong Kong, one of the cities that spawned it.
I was shocked, appalled, and ultimately defeated as I searched fruitlessly for it. Among the …

There is always a 60% chance of rain here in Hong Kong. Especially if it is June, July, or August. It will probably rain every day for a week, then maybe only 3 days the next week, but don't be surprised if it rains every day the whole time you're here.
If there is a typhoon, go to 7-11, buy some T…

Now i flew with these guys just after i had huge pro…

If you want to see some marine life, shows and go on a few rides then why not go to Ocean Park. The Aquarium is pretty cool, they did have a section just on frogs and there are a couple of special animals. There is a Panda exhibit and I saw my first Panda here. The rides are OK, I liked the Dolphin …

Speaking from a tourist's viewpoint, English isn't something you have to worry about in Hong Kong. Everyone I've come in contact with spoke some kind of English, because they were brought up learning it. Although you might have to deal with a little broken accent, it should be a problem. If you nee…

Hi Grubi,
English is not a problem in HK. Pretty much everyone can speak it, apart from the cabbies. All the signs are in English first followed by Chinese. HK is so easy to get around and you should never get lost. If you ever do, just hail a cab, which are really cheap. Infact the transport syste…

The Hong Kong dollar is the currency of Hong Kong. It is the 9th most traded currency in the world. In English, it is normally abbreviated with the dollar sign $, or alternatively HK$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies. The dollar is subdivided into 100 cents.
