Tips
- If doing DIY, read info about Macau and Hong Kong (forums like PEX, Discover HongKong site etc.)
- Take note of the places you would like to go and search for their directions, para hindi maligaw, to maximize your stay
- Maraming lakaran sa pagtour, so i-ready ang mga legs and feet, kakapal ang kalyo nyo kakalakad, hehe
- Nagpapalit na kami ng HKD and USD bago umalis, mababa kasi ang rate sa Airport.
- iba ang socket sa Mcau-HK (sample adaptor)
Macau
- In Macau, all transportation can be done by Hotel Shuttles, free pa, kesa mag-taxi :)
- We just used HKD in Macau, I've read na, hindi nagagamit ang MOP sa HK, but you can exchange naman your MOP to HKD before exiting Macau
- Mas marami ang hotel sa Macau kesa sa guesthouses/hostel, maybe because of casinos?
- Inuna namin ang Macau, feeling ko mas marami na kaming bitbit pagdating sa HK :)
- Hotels allow you to leave your luggages on their lobby for free..as far as I know, it's free for 24hours.
- 1 day is enough for Macau :) (in my opinion lang naman :P)
- Bring bonamine if your taking ferry from Macau to HK, lalo na kung hapon ang departure nyo, sobrang alon...or just take a nap, para mawala yung pagkahilo.
Hong Kong
- Stay near TST if you're into shopping, and malapit lang ang MTR station :)
- Cosmic Guesthouse have small rooms, kung hindi naman kayo maselan, pwede na siya (maraming guesthouse around TST)
- you can buy octupus card to avoid queues on MTR ticket booths, but in our case, we just bought single journey cards (ok naman, aside from hindi ako nabigyan ng change sa Sha Tin Station, hehe)
- Money Exchange, sa Cosmic Guesthouse na din kami nagpapalit, fair naman ang rate nila
- May free hot water din sila, again, hot water, hehe
- Buy DisneyLand tickets prior to your preferred date, again, to avoid queues
- Mostly, guesthouses in HK offer discounted DisneyLand/Ocean Park tickets, you might want to inquire para makasave :)
- If you're travelling in this kind of Weather (Humid/Summer)... water, sunblock, fan and umbrella are necessities (yung mga takot sa araw, hehe)
- Sa DisneyLand may free hot water din, ang hilig nila sa hot water, haha..But there are water refill station near the toilets, ewan ko kung bakit laging malapit sa toilet, haha (dalawa ang nakita namin, Restaurant in front of The Golden Mickey at sa Toy Story Land..basta nasa Toilet area siya)
- You can bring snacks in DisneyLand, pero not meal, marami namang restau sa loob (more expensive compare sa labas)
- Check the schedules of each shows/attractions/parade
- Pumunta kayo ng maaga sa Cinderalla's Castle, para makahanap kayo ng magandang place for the fireworks
- Maraming sumisingit sa pila, kaya harangan nyo na lang both sides
- If you don't have octupus card, pagdating nyo pa lang sa Disneyland, bumili na kayo ng MTR ticket pauwi (mahaba ang pila kasi)
- Pwede kang magpasolo/group picture with the characters, hindi naman sila strict, bilisan lang ang pagkilos, hehe
- Malaki ang servings nila sa food, at nagkalat ang kainan sa HK, so hindi kayo mahihirapan.
- Sa Symphony of Lights, maaga din dapat, para makakuha ng magandang view
- Madali lang sundan ang MTR lines, just know your destination :)
