cupper said:Piece of advice from a friend of mine who went with a group of guys the summer after graduation from university. Make sure you know what the equipment situation is before you close the deal.
One of their group picked up a bar "girl" and they went back to the hotel. The scream from his room when he discovered his mistake woke up everyone else.
This was 20 years ago, and to this day they still don't let him live it down.

One of my main questions was how do you use money there? Do bank machines work outside of Manilla. Do they accept credit cards? I was thinking of hitting Taal volcano near Tagatay and the Mayon volcano as well as Borocay. Is there a place for snorkeling or any great coral reefs? That is something I don't want to miss. Pics would be awesome.

E.R. Campbell said:Lots to see in Hong Kong - culturally, historically and otherwise.
It is a rich, cosmopolitain city - people from Toronto are small town "rubes," Winnipegers are villagers (sniff) and so on.
Hotels are pricy and rooms aresmalltiny. (that's changed from when I was there)
It is a shopper's paradise - especially Mong Kok for electronics: which go on sale there before they are released in the USA, Japan or Germany. (are suits still cheap)
Great food - especially seafood. (don't ask about the ingredients)
Must see: Victoria Peak (very definitely), the Giant Buddha on Lantau island, a sampan tour of the harbour and the War Cemetery at Sai Wan, at the Eastern end of the island but easily accessible by subway (to Chai Wan) and a short, cheap taxi ride (it's an easy walk (downhill) to get back to the MTR (subway) at the big shopping mall).
Going to be there for a while. South of Manilla. Any advice? Hopefully be passing through Hong Kong occasionally too.
