We went on a vacation on a nearby city, a British now Chinese colony for a week This was spoiled by 4 typhoons that were left over from the principal. We had to stay for two days, sans activities for two days We missed the following (we were handicapped by having an infant with us, so we could not really move around a lot, or go to budget hotel or eating places:)
1. The HK100 touist coupon upon arrival at HK tourism booth at the HKIA. That would have been HK$600 = x 7.55 = P4530.00
2. We should have done with the FX:
1. Exhcanged here at PHL
2. Brought in USD and then exchanged for HK$. Many blogs said you get more this way;
3. The Octopus which would look cheaper than buying the one day pass, You get a HK39.00 refund upon departure.
4. The ride to Victoria peak
5. The cable car ride;
6. The parks: there are several in Kowloon
7. The street food at Mong Kok and Kowloon
8. SIM should have been bought from Lazada, rather than HK, and just one. We could have done with hotspot
9. We could have gone stayed at Hotel at Citygate (say Novotel) which are cheaper, and gone to Macau at via buses at same place
It is important to researrch prior to a trip and planning done earlier to maximize expenditure
