Best place to buy a lens? Looking to get a 35mm 1.8/g lens.

I'll be going to HK from Hangzhou, to re-extend my Visa for another 3 months. Heard this kind of stuff was cheaper out there..

the same but no sales tax or VAT. so it makes it a bit more attractive to buy there

[eaglezephyr]

does anyone know how much the Jeans are then?

[azn8oi]

lol, so basically APC is the only store on Wyndham St. that sells for the same retail price as its native country?

[Epoc]

Going back May 24th - August

Someone please tell me there's a Nike Stadium store in Hong Kong? I'm assuming they only sell Gyakusou there, but I wouldn't mind being told otherwise.

[Becks23]

Didn't see any GYAKUSOU @ Pak Sha Road in Causeway Bay. Was there 2 days ago.

[tm]

No GYAKUSOU in HK as far as I know

Maybe at the resell spots but nothing at Nike

[WillKhitie]

Those familiar with Think Silly, any of The Soloist and Oliver People's frames?

[kidkorea]

Any BEACHES worth going to in HK?

Which 4 star hotel is worth staying? I'm going there with my girl & a few friends, for 4 days from 26th -30th.

Anyways I heard its really hot there, like tank & shorts weather. Safe to assume its like the current heatwave in Singapore now (32 Celsius & rising, I'm abusing my air conditioning 24-7)

Cosmopolitan or Lan Kwai Fong hotel, both on HK island.

heard good things about the Langham and Kowloon hotel on the other side.

Pretty sure all of those mentioned are 4 star hotels.

[DJ_Flame]

My friends want to stay @ Metropark. Worth it?

Also where to go for streetwear-vibe steez without ridiculous markups?

[azn8oi]

HK is all about ridiculous markups, a la S'pore. Check some local shit, I guess.

[hamham3001]

I'm thinking of moving over to HK to work and live in the near future. Can someone give some advise. Will i survive if i don't speak cantonese? Im asian but can only speak mandarin to a certain level (english=mothertongue) and probably 1% of cantonese from watching all the "young and dangerous" series. I love asian food and love the shopping in HK but my primary concern would be language and connecting with the social life there.

I have also hear that work pressure there is extreme, probably worst than Singapore (even tho i haven worked there). any recommended recruitment agencies?

[bryanayrb]

you can survive easily without cantonese and there's quite a significant population of english speakers there. what field of work are you looking at?

[DJ_Flame]

If i communicate in Mandarin, will locals think I'm a mainlander and be prejudiced against me?
