Taxi Drivers / Electrical Products / RIPOFF
By UNHAPPYCUSTOMER | 8/8/2007 12:36:33 PM
We went to Hong on the 20th of July. After a long flight there from the UK we were exhausted.
We did not arrange for anyone to collect us at the airport so relied on a taxi to take us to our hotel.
At the airport having gone through customs we was approached by a man who asked if u needed a taxi. We took him up on the offer and later released that we were taken for a ride. He took us to the Taxi which was unmarked and drove us to our hotel. He charged us HK$600 for the journey and we later found the that journey should have cost us only 220HK$ what a ripoff. Anyone thinking of going to Hong Kong should use the Red Taxis. note if u ask for a receipt they will charge you more.
Also another point to be aware many shops display products without prices BE AWARE many shops will charge 2 to 3 times as much. I purchased some Nun Chucks for a Nintendo and found I have paid 4 times the price in the UK.
When I had tried to take the Nun Chucks back to the shop they refused to refund me...
In addition to the above I had purchased some MP4 Players and USB Flash disk which turned out to be faulty.
I dont think I will Visit Hong Kong Again.

Manchurian restaurant
By FAERIEQUEENE | 11/25/2007 9:09:48 AM
There are many ‘hidden’ restaurants in Hong Kong, small, with good ambience and authentic cuisine and great food. Here is a taste of Northeastern Chinese cuisine, the “Bistro Manchu”, located at Elgin Street, up Central Escalators.
Ask for a scented osmanthus Wulong tea, to taste with the vast choices of Manchurian cold appetizers, dumplings, specialty courses and desserts.
(photo: a quick lunch visit, had osmanthus tea, spring onion tossed with beancurd salad, white cabbage & pork dumplings, sweet rice dumplings with black sesame paste)

internet cafés
By FAERIEQUEENE | 11/25/2007 9:10:31 AM
Internet cafés are everywhere in Hong Kong but some offer added value of a nice view, even a magnifique vista than a cup of coffee, in addition to internet access...
- Pacific Coffee at Peak tram Tower, the Peak. overlooking the sky, Victoria Harbour and peak tramway
-Mix (fresh juices and smoothies for a change, no caffeine) at Hollyroad Road, overlooking the heritage building of old Central Police Station and Soho area
-3 Pacific Coffee shops in Wanchai, on terrace of Great Eagle Building, terrace (Saniltun) of the China Resources Building, corner of Jaffe Road and Stewart Road opposite to Novotel Century Hotel (these locations are in the China Embassy area, while you are killing time to collect your visa....)
The Starbucks seem to be less best located and they do not often have internet service.

eating open at the Peak
By FAERIEQUEENE | 7/15/2007 9:24:46 PM
To eat under the sun is a getaway from the air conditioned restaurants in town. The terrace of the Peak Cafe, opposite the Peak Tram Tower, is worth a try. It serves a variety of Asian cuisine and barbecue at night.

Hong Kong Sunrise
By DAVEC | 4/14/2007 3:16:22 PM
Should you find yourself in Hong Kong and bored in the early hours then venture down to the front at Kowloon by the Star Ferry terminal and await the sunrise. The early morning sun gives a beautiful glow to the buildings on Hong Kong side and makes a change from the usual tourist photos.
