hi all, finally finished 247 pages of this long thread
(+ e other one which is like 18 pages currently), close to fainting now
Have some questions to you HK experts (planning to go in early dec)
1) Currently got some chickens found w H5N1 virus, mass culling in markets
(as of Jun 08) in event of outbreak, how will it affect tourists shopping or eating
other than cannot eat poultry?
2) for night market or day stalls, if touch or ask dun buy kena scold, issit common trend?
(to get scolded) how to counter? say sorry or just walk away?
3) how to tell difference in sg & hk cantoese? (eg. Thank u – dou zei or mmm koi?)
so that can blend in closer to locals? (any sites for local lingo eg. hang gai = da bao etc)
4) gangsters/gu huat zai?? will we see many like in movies? night market/malls more? will they harras tourists?
5) post 2786, pg 186, factory outlets over rated (shopping center better) THEN
can’t bargain in malls/ price same as outlets?
6) flag raising ceremony at HKCC can take pics? (must stand at attention)
7) post 3150 Hong Kong industrial Centre at Lai Chi Kok how to go???
(sell to tourist? Safe?)
8) toilets easy to find? cause read some for tendants, if in night markets how?
9) for bring back food if roast pigeon = confiscated , then fishball packed tightly is ok? So must be dried only not fresh?
10) pg 36 pt 2, Don’t go Yung Kee issit refer to dim sum?(name of resturant?)
