WILDLIFE Points: Join Date: Feb 27, 2007 Status: offline	Do you know any boarding houses that offers very cheap rent in HK? I am shoestring so i am trying to budget my allowance because i know HK is so costly. My alloted budget is at least 15-30 HKD for 24 hours, and i am planning to stay there for a week or so. I won't be staying the whole day in the house because i will spend more time hanging around the city. Also, can anyone here share forums for Guizhou and Hainan? Your help is very much welcome. Thank you.

I didn’t have enough time to look for that but maybe in my next visit I’ll try to look for one. If ever you found one I’ll be glad if you share it here. :-) Check the link below for Guiyang, Guizhou Forum. http://livefitness.bbfast.com

Can u give me the complete address and contact number of that place if you wouldn't mind? Thanks and hoping to read you back. faeriequeene, is that place far from the center? if possible it should be in Kennedy towns or other places nearby.

I stayed in Macau instead, but still there is not too much choice. There is one well known chaeapie

San Va Hospedaria: www.sanvahotel.com

Price: 70 Macau Patacas/night ($10US)
Location: on Rue Da Felicidade 67
This street is in a main tourist area, historic. Remember that taxi and bus drivers refuse to recognise the Portuguese streetnames.

It's extremely basic. The walls were wooden and don't even go to the top of the ceiling. You do get a fan though.

There is another just around the corner. From the San Va turn left and left into a short street, just before the end on the left is a similar establishment same price. Nothing on ground floor, first floor brothel, 2nd floor 'reception'. Basic but proprietors very pleasant
