You can't miss the Star Ferry. It's cheapest way to cross!

Ya, just keep an eye on your wallet while you're on it tho! :) You might get pickpocketed.

Wear jeans with tight pockets to avoid getting pickpocketed.

And I said tight pockets not tight jeans so no1 say im gay because I know someone will other wise.

That pic of the ferry looks alot like the pics I took when I was in China back in grade 9... Never made it down to Hong Kong tho...

Have a sweet trip man.. its defineately different there.. :thumbsup:

[Team_Mclaren]

dont make it sound so bad.. its really not too bad.. just be carefully and use common sense and you'll be alright, just like traveling anywhere.

anyway, have a nice/safe trip! its a nice city!

Ocean park, and yea Timesquare is very cool. There's a mini gallery there too.

my cousin went to hong kong over the summer.. someone picked his celly out of his jacket pocket.

dont wear your wallet in the back pocket.. put it in your front pockets if you can.

[GTS Jeff]

hk is pretty safe imo. the pickpocketing risk is like any other big city. its not crazy like mainland china :D

[D'z Nutz]

Oh man, Hong Kong was fun. I hope to get a chance to head back there in a couple years. If you got a day to blow, hit up Macau too. You make a trip there in the hover boats. A lot of cool looking European-style buildings and monuments if you're into that sort of stuff. And if you do go, DO NOT accept anything from the beef jerky girls!! Hahaha! (I'm serious.)

[D'z Nutz]

Oh, and the giant Buddha monument at Ngong Ping is really cool too.

Always watch out for cars when you are crossing roads. They never stop for pesdestrian, not like Canada!

Go up to Victoria Peak if you can, overlooks the whole city, just frigging amazing at night.

whatsup with the beef jerky girls?

[D'z Nutz]

Nothing really bad. They stand around the handing out free samples by the beef jerky store, but as soon as you take a sample, all of them stop what they're doing and crowd around you trying to sell you some. It was insane, cause my dad took a sample, and before we knew it, three of them were grabbing him, pulling him by both his arms, and trying to drag him into the store while he was trying to pull away! I guess if you want pictures of chicks pulling on you and shit like you were in a boy band, that's the place to do it! Hahaha!

[Ariakas]

Hehe the jerky stores, I remember that too. I'll be in HK for 3 weeks very soon and I'll be sure to visit them since that strip do have the best beef and pork jerky :)
