i think living in Tsim Sha Tsui area is good because its near to many places i wanted to go
it seems to be like Orchard area in Singapore
at night even though the main street are getting deserted
the back streets are still buzzling with activity
can pretty find food and entertainment everywhere

oic..u booked everything by urself is it? not going through agent? 455 for tax???? so expensive??? wat tax is it?

Eh, no lah... I was just calculating my costs (Hotel and Air tix) compared to the $643 which u said cheap mah. So it turns out that the air tix costs around $455 which I think it's not that cheap afterall.

What u mean by where board ferry? how abt macau side? coz i consider going from macau to hong kong then back to macau? Which agent u get for HK$250? how much the cab ride? running on meter like sg or need to bargain like malaysia?
U can go to macau on ferry via either TST harbourcity (NWFF) or HK Island Shun Tuk Center, i got my tix at ShunTuk Center one of the agents, just dun buy from counter loh, but its a risk as u mus return on the u specified. Cab is on meter, v.cheap la...macau so small.

Maybe visit some of the nice scenery places like the peak, repulse bay, lamma island,etc. Dun forget the night scene from both sides of the harbour, take a star ferry across. Spend one whole day shopping! Shop till u drop!

100~200SGD for 2 person meal is considered....alot
Seafood try lamma island's seafood, cheap, but not sure good anot. Didnt have a chance to try the last time i went there.

if its the first time, there are places like The peak, the big statue buddha, macau, repulse bay that are tourist attractions to take photos. sort of a one time thing...i still feel shopping and speaking with the ppl there, looking at the way things are different from singapore, eg teenagers below 20 yrs old opening stalls to make a living, the night life and the crowd even after 12 am, their somehow more dense high rise buildings etc)

hmmm the sports shoe st and the ladies st are good for shopping...as well as some that i mentioned heh. somehow going to tourist attraction is realli looking at other singaporeans and ang mohs only...i prefer to walk around in streets haha ..i tink its more fun
