petetherock Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 BJ will be very expensive. After is best, lots of DVDs to buy, try FAB outlets HKG, try Mongkok - I have a thread on addresses in this forum. Enjoy and STOP POISONING US :) better not come back with more poison, unless you help me buy something...
Guest francis woo Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Hifi, why wait. IMO, with our current exchange, it's time to travel and start buying stuff. Who knows what 2008 will bring!!!.... ;D

petetherock Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Both actually, unless you get local stuff. BJ will not bat an eyelid to get more $$ out of you. I dislike the fact that you need to spend so much time bargaining. When I go, I stay at my buddy's home and get chauffered around. Traffic and the air is really bad. I preferred to go in winter, even with the cold. But HKG is a place to eat and shop, so if I am not into these, I skip it. How about the Nine Gorges, the place where they filmed Hero, Kunming I think, v nice bro
