Went to citygate adidas, they do not accept 1000 hkd note ...
they have a sign on their cashier area to inform you that ...
Better to exchange the currency in SG or HK?
Thanks!!I think sg unless u got premier banking there with some banks.
Just changed at Parkway Parade money changer 5.33 yesterday sg$3k. Not the popular chinese one but the indian one near the taxi stand. His sign board said 5.81 but he gave me better rate. Chinese one signbord said 5.95, I didnt go ask for better rate.
