with all due respect, pls don't be stupid. i don't wanna pay for that becoz $3 is nonsense for a small bottle of water, and its $8 for a hot meal. if you wanna be a carrot, by all means brudder. =)

It is not being stupid. Either one endures the flight without drinking or one pays for it. $3 for a bottle of water is not too bad considering the regulation that one cannot bring water on board.

This topic is very subjective...

[[Either one endures the flight without drinking or one pays for it.]]

I had been to both side of the world, I had endures without water on the flight for 3 hrs on Jetstar & only done my trick by asking them for free Ice Cude to kill my thirst.

I had also paid the drinks onboard. SGD 3 buck or even more as if i had call more then 2 bottle/can of drinks.

I had also gotten free treat drink by the next passanger sit over me. By starting up some small chat on board the flight.

I had also learned how to save $3 for not buying onboard from Jetstar. And buy from HKIA after clearing HK Customs. And yet you can bring in Bottle Drinks onboard the flights. (This only applied to Hong Kong - Singapore Flights only!!)

I had also learn how you can bring in your Bottle Drinks more then 100ml. If you have some special & funny reasons which you can prove yourself to do so.

End of the day, is all up to you weather you enjoy the flight or not?

Ask yourself, Are you going to HK for Hoildays? . Because you are also paying for your gf or bf also. Another point is you will also buy in HK 7/Eleven & K Mart when you walk the streets, correct? They will cost you SGD2-3 per bottle of water when you buy from 7/Eleven & K Mart. If Yes, I think is just worth for my point of view to paid the SGD3 bucks


Are you going there for your normal regular trip. I bet that does only apply of 10-20% of the Singaporeans & Former Hong Kong people. Then is more worth to save just a little bit more.

Elements at Kowloon MTR station


"Elements aims to become the 'third place' for Hong Kong people, meaning that the mall will be a place that Hongkongers visit the most frequently after their homes and offices," said MTR Corp chief retail development manager Betty Leong Sin-ling. MTR has put a lot of effort in anticipating its shoppers' needs. At the entrance of each of the mall's nine washrooms, there is a lobby with sitting area and magazine rack.


This is not all. The male washrooms will be stocked with colognes, aftershaves and electronic shavers while the female washrooms will have perfumes and make-up sets for use. Toilet attendants will make sure that all these personal items are kept hygienic.

Anyone knows how is the pollution situation in HK currently?

Read from the news that for the past 2 weeks, there is smog in HK and pollution levels are in the dangerous levels. This is due to Typhoon in Taiwan which causes less wind in HK so that the dust particles cannot be blown away.

For asthmatic persons, is it dangerous to go vist HK in end Oct 07?

We are planning for a trip from 30 Oct - 4 Nov. Hopefully the weather's cool and fine (and no Typhoons!)

Thanks for reading.

Hi enoone, Before you enter the markets. This are the rules to be follow.
Before you enter the markets.

*They are NOT tourist friendly markets.
*The markets are for the local people to buy thier daily food.
*Dress like a local, example mems please do not wear short/bermuders and ladies do not wear so sexy and revial here and there to attract unwanted attn.
*Is very very hard to take photos there, you might get scolded or warning not to take the photos there.
*Each vendor have the right to do it own business, When you see & touch their product mean you have show some intrested to buy. Do not run away, you will get scolded in the end.
Just contiune to bargain with the price.
*When you take photo, do not let them know and use telelens to take them.

#The place is very near to 555 Shanghai Street, Mongkok, Kowloon
Very near to Langham Place Hotel Hong Kong
