OP here. Last few days spent visiting relatives, etc. Hopefully I'll get some time to spend for myself. >>50918 Fashion needs: Don't really have any, unless you count pens fashion accessories. Walked to Times Square today, hoping to get 10% discount @ Broadway because of cousin having HSBC credit card. Nothing's open with #9 typhoon signal in the mall (exceptions noted: fortress, starbucks, pacific coffee). Went across to Tsim Sha Tsui a few times, the Wanchai ferry is within ~15 minute walk of where I am right now, but never really had time to visit the mall. A look on the internets says that there's a pen shop there too, sooo I definitely should take a look.
Went up to the Peak yesterday, a family friend drove me up. Nice view, then it started raining. Got tour of HKU afterwards.
Nope, I don't have anything to enter mainland with, can't get visa on this short notice with the olympics, and I don't have a Home Return Permit. HKID cannot be used for entry into China, only for exit from HK
No time for clubbing, I'm still trying to call around and reschedule dinners/lunches with relatives and friends because of this damn typhoon warning closing everything. Also, the clubs might be open, but how do I get there? Buses are all stopped, MTR runs once every 15 minutes, trams are gone, minibuses don't follow set schedules, and taxis can charge whatever they want now.
I have three more things that I can hopefully buy while I'm in HK:
- Sony Ericsson G900 (for my brother, he's paying me to bring it across) - Namiki/Pilot Capless décimo - (Possibly) A cheap automatic Seiko 5.
First can be obtained anywhere, second in Sheung Wan, third... should I go to a department store or a watch store? though watch stores usually stock >$1000USD watches, since they're more profitable. (a basic Seiko 5 is maybe ~$60 USD online if you order grey market import)
