10/27/2005Hong Kong- Mai dong xi, chi dong xi 2
Hulllloo buddy bear! Welcome to part 2 of my tour around Hong Kong!
Of course this time, i wont be typing the same ol' thing as yesterday. Did i mention that i am going to write about the things i bought previously? Hm, yes. Essentially in Hong kong, you get to eat and buy. There's really nothing much to see, just like Singapore. I'm back with 2 luggauges (remember i only brought half a bag there?). I'm pretty satisfied with my harvest, at least i got everything i wanted to buy in singapore. The fashion industry is thriving over there and things are really much better than those in Singapore. It's not just giordano, U2, hang ten you know. There're lots of other brands, even the imitation goods are very trendy! I bought lots of funny stuffs. Even Bradd( my ipod ) has something. I bought a rubber case and a ipod charger for only 10 bucks each! That's freakin cheap ok! The rubber casing costs 50 dollars in Sing. But i mean, so what if the rubber casing is fake? As long as it serves it purpose of protecting my pod, it's still a good buy! I bought a dustbin too. I actually carried this thing all the waY from temple street to Singapore Changi Airport. Actually they do sell this in minitoons outlets but they sell twice the price of what i bought. So it's actually worth the trouble lah.  In disneyland itself, i think we spent quite a bomb. What to do, disney items are expensive and i cannot bargain. Haha! The nicest thing i bought there is a cup with mickey and my name BEN engraved on it. Cooooooool ! (I lazy take photo. )  This watch's from Disney too. OH YAH! SHOESSS! You really mustnt miss out on buying cheapo imitation shoes there, really. It's the best thing on earth. I bought a total of 4 pairs of sneakers, 3 fake 1 real. Out of which, 2 are from Shenzhen.  The nike sign is everywhere although they're fake. Guess which one is real! And before you step into shenzhen, you better be equipped with good bargaining skills i advise. Those cunning chinese dealers ! They like to mark up prices sky high and you have to bargain to at least a 60% off! Serious. Now now, let me give you a few tips on bargaining ok. Dont say lao da here never teach hor. HOW TO BARGAIN 1. Choose whatever you want to buy 2. Approach dealer and quote a price 70% off the original price. You need to have quick mental sums and dont EVER feel paiseh or anything cause most people do since in singapore we dont do such thing. 3. Now, the dealer will give a super shock look, shake head and say it's impossible and that he wont earn anything. This will be followed by a pathetic expression on the face, asking you to give him/her more. 4. So now, you increase the price and give up to 40% the price. 5. If the dealer agrees, good for you. If not, put down the items and walk away. REMEMBER: There will surely be more stalls with similar items. Dont worry you wont get it! [ In 60% of the cases, the dealer will chase after you and agree with your price. ] I have a few bags too.  This is a backpack from musou. I think the design is pretty unique.   OK MY CROPPING SKILLS SUCK. The Vans bag is given to me free together with my vans shoe. Actually they wanted to give me the VIP card but what for? It's not like i'm going there everyday, so i chose the bag instead. I didnt really buy much clothing. Only 2 shirts from temple street.  Before i went to HK, i was looking out for jackets here. But i always didnt buy cause it's too expensive. And guuuess what! I bought 2 super cheap jackets in HK and shenzhen. The one i bought in shenzhen is very cheap. 20 bucks only! that's one third the price of one in Singapore. The other one was bought in HK samuel and kevin outlet. I know singapore also have, but it's half the price over in HK so how can i ever miss out on such a good deal!! What's more! IT's a REVERSIBLE JACKET! HOW COOOL IS THAT! This means that, i can wear the jacket both sides, depending on my mood. SEE!  Ok, that's the end of my HK-Mai dong xi, chi dong xi series. Next time if you go overseas, please do blog about it too! Signing off at 11.30pm.
