I don't think mahihirapan kayo maghanap ng CR kung yun mga typical places ang pupuntahan niyo like Ocean Park and Disneyland.

Theme parks and malls have an abundance of CRs.

commoner me idea ka ba kung meron din mga washrooms sa mga mtr stations

Mukhang wala nga sa loob then yun ng mga identified sa labas ay inconsistent ang data sabog na ang pantog mo di mo pa nakikita washroom.

[princessfiona]

first off, let me just say how richly valuable all the info here. this (and the previous threads) have been my bible for the last several weeks. kudos to all!

since nasa HK kami in time for their holiday weekend (sept 30 8pm - oct 3 10pm), am revising my iti, as follows:

Sept 30 (Fri)
Day 1: 8pm arrival at HKIA

Oct 1 (Sat)
Day 2:
from AM: NP360; PM Disneyland, Mongkok
to AM/PM Disneyland; Mongkok

Oct 2 (Sun)
Day 3; 8:45am mass at Rosary Church
- then di ako sure if will spend the rest of the day until night at Ocean Park to catch the music and light show instead of going to the Peak in the afternoon and catching the SOL at 8pm
or AM/PM Ocean Park; then stroll at TST, Avenue of Stars

Oct 3 (Mon)
Day 4:
Is it possible to do NP360 then the Peak? Do we check out early and leave our luggage at Golden Crown lobby and come back after the Peak or bring them to NP360 and avail of their lockers? Our flight is at 10pm. Gusto ko rin sanang makapag Causeway/Repulse Bays and Stanley. tho, it's impossible na ata ito given the time. pwede pa-suggest nang magandang itinerary sa last day namin?

Thanks so much in advance.

Thanks so much in advance.

Day2
NP360 opens at 10am it will took almost 1/2 hour to reach NP360 from Tung Chung add another 1/2 for the return so bale 1 Hr. na yun assuming you spend another 2 hour for photo ops as well as appreciating the scenery, then upon your return it is advisable to take a heavy lunch at citygate / food republic then add the transpo time from Tung-Chung-SunnyBay-Disneyland + the line if ever there will be so I assume you'll be inside Disney land by beetween 3-3:330pm enough time to see the parade. ( Spent time at Disney will surely be " super bitin " . I suggest devote day 2 to solely for Disneyland and you won't regret it.
Tip when going to Disneyland unahin muna mga shows at photo ops with disney characters before the rides.

Day3
This is doable


Day 4
Np360 is very far from other attraction that you consider to visit I suggest the ff:

you may like to consider this 2 options

Option #1 Pack all your things and leave early for Tung Chung / NP360 leave your luggage at citygate mall nasa basement ito near the money changer then proceed to NP360 cable terminus enjoy NP360 and take your time, after NP360 proceed to Citygate and do some last minute shopping kung kaya pa ng budget powers at the end of the day you can take Bus S1 going to the airport.

Option #2 check-out early leave your things at the GC lobby you may proceed to repulse bay and stanley at kung may time pa you may proceed to causeway bay, just take note of the time you should be at the airport 2 hours before your flight, take xtra time to compute travel time, see to it that you always have a buffer time or lead time ...

Just always keep in mind that it is not just the travel time that should be considered in planning you trip you should also consider the time for queuing on attractions swertihan lang kung walang pila pero mas malimit mahaba or moderate ang pila ...Enjoy HK

Found a really good (Filipino) blog on eating in Hong Kong:

Share ko lang for those interested in booking the Royal Pacific Hotel & Towers to avoid booking the standard room since pangit talaga at luma, okay kung Premier or Premier Plus Room kasi yun ang mga newly renovated rooms.

Here are some pics for the Premier Plus' twin room (19th floor). Ma-imagine naman kung gaano kaliit ito around 22-25 sqm.

I was the one who originally posted this tip on the previous thread, any way We stayed at TST that is why the trip goes from TST-Lai King-Tsin Yi - Airport Express, the point is where ever you came from as long as your entire trip to the airport on board MTR you will be only charge for 60 Hkd the entire trip including transfer should last less than an hour or else you will be charge 100Hkd + the charges from the place where you came from, if you will be coming from central then transfer to Hong Kong Station ( Long walk) then transfer to Kowloon Station Airport Express the story is the same, fare would be 60Hkd. My suggestion just buy the ordinary octopus card and have it reloaded when needed, no need to purchase online, walk-in is very much favorable and convenient , hope this help..happy trip

sarap talaga sa HK basta me budget ka tuloy tuloy ang saya

[princessfiona]

Mukhang wala nga sa loob then yun ng mga identified sa labas ay inconsistent ang data sabog na ang pantog mo di mo pa nakikita washroom.

Natawa naman ako sa iyo, jasy306. Paano na lang yung mga laging nawiwiwi like me?!

naku pareho lang tayo kaya nga masyado akong interesado sa topic, mag diaper na lang kaya tayo ha ha ha...kidding aside siguro less liquid intake or go to the washroom bago mag-take ng MTR.

[jasy306]

iba na talaga ang mayaman!hahahaat madatung!

nakupo sana ga totoo eh heto nga at laging naghahanap ng budget fare almost everyday eh nakatutok sa internet to seek and secure lowest fare in the earth lol...discolored na magnetic strip ng CC ko ha ha ha... isa lang masasabi ko sa mga pexers life is short , my suggestion is make the best out of it and you won't regret it....kapag happy wifey ko and kiddoz ko much more happy ako....

hala kadami ng post papaano ga mag multi post magagalit nito sa akin si commoner aksaya thread lol

[my_name_is_meg]

may napuntahan kaming CR (forgot the name of the station). pero walang sign ng CR. we just asked dun sa mga naglilinis dun (na di namin maintindihan ang mga sinasabi dahil sa language nila) kung saan ang restroom, itinuro lang kami sa may hawak ng susi. at ayun solve na mga kasama ko. i just waited them outside kasi mejo maliit ang CR but it has 3 cubicles.

[blue_berrikeyk]

to my name is meg, hindi kaya yung cr na yun for employees only? at pinayagan lang yung mga kasama mong gumamit? at bakit kaya walang sign? i'm sure daming mga pasahero ang gustong gumamit ng washroom.thanks

to jasy306, yung last thread halos lahat ng pages dun nabasa ko paunti paunti pero parang wala pa akong nakitang topic about CR sa mtr. Kaya nga nang mabasa ko yung isang inquiry ng isang pexer at yung mga naging reply nyo, naging interesado talaga ako. at hindi dapat menosin ang bagay na yan kasi importante yan, di ba? and yes... life is too short, enjoy it to the fullest. suwerte naman ng family mo talagang laging kaligayahan nila ang inuuna mo.

"suwerte naman ng family mo talagang laging kaligayahan nila ang inuuna mo" hmmmm siguro mas swerte ako kesa sa kanila kasi binigay sila ni God sa akin sa dinami dami ng tao eh sa akin sila napunta at overwhelming ako dito, back to the topic talagang need to make a thorough research about the washrooms kasi papaano kung meron tayo kasama elderly na talagang need ng washroom or perhaps tayo personally papaano kung biglang masiraan tayo ng tiyan, madaming circumstances na pwedeng maganap, mas maganda siguro consolidated effort ng lahat ng HK pexers to make a research about the MTR washrooms or immediate available washrooms on MTR exits.... mabantot ang topic pero importante

HELP:

My cousin needs a hotel for 3 adults and 2 children below 12. Preferably 1 room that can accomodate them all. Preferred hostels are not longer available.

[my_name_is_meg]

siguro nga for employees lang.marami din naman ang sumunod sa amin para maki-CR nung pumasok kami, kaya ok lang siguro. pwede naman yun kung mag-ask lang. hesitant pa nga kami kung tama ba ang papasukan namin na pinto.kaya nga sa labas me.
