Living in HK now bro. I'll be making a couple of trips to Taiwan and Korea, so would be nice to have something decent. I know in HK i could get by with a sweater and a light coat though.. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sugar Mountain 193,820 Posted November 26, 2013 You could have a browse around SOGO. There are some good discounts in the sale at the moment if you don't mind fighting your way through the ferocious mainland tourists. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ken shinoda 32,036 Posted December 9, 2013 will be heading to HK next week. Was wondering if any of you guys know where to buy some gym stuffs like dipping belts etc? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sugar Mountain 193,820 Posted December 10, 2013 There is a fitness shop on Queen's Road Central just past the junction with Wellington Street and Bonham Strand (near Fitness First). Not been inside but the stock looks good for what you're after. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suprastar 3,652 Posted December 10, 2013 ok asking this question again, wheres a good place to get a haircut in town? I've been to one of the IL COLPO chain shops and Im finding I really dont like the way HK hairdressers cut my hair. They have this really annoying style of trying to create texture but in the end makes my hair all wispy. I guess I just need a Western style trained barber or stylist that knows hipster styles .. anyone know of any? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sugar Mountain 193,820 Posted December 10, 2013 Mandarin Barber is good for a basic men's haircut. Costs $400-500. Gentlemen's Tonic has also been recommended to me. Not sure where to get hipster styles though! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herpsky 197,161 Posted December 12, 2013 Quick question are they amazing these sales around CNY? Whats the weather like form January til the end of May ? PM sent. It's warm as hell. I feel like jawnz in HK are ridiculously overpriced. I guess the I.T outlet has decent stuff for cheaps but it was still like mediocre at best. Some of the department stores had decent sales with sort of niche Japanese brands like Marka and etc. I now kinda understand why HK beasts come to Japan and cop hard. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sugar Mountain 193,820 Posted December 13, 2013 The weather from January until May changes a great deal. It can get very cold in the first few months of the year but by May you'll be sweating away as per usual. March and April can be nice. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Sander 281 Posted December 18, 2013 What do you mean very cold ? Less than 5 degree? 10 degree? Less than -5? Quick question a link was around few months ago about a sim card pay as you go that we can buy at the airport anyone has the link? I lost it and I am looking for a good deal pay as you go with a lot of data ! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sugar Mountain 193,820 Posted December 19, 2013 At the moment it is around 10 degrees Celsius in the mornings and evenings. It feels colder than the same temp in London because of the relative humidity and the fact that apartments here are built for hot weather. I'm wearing a midweight down jacket and wool pullover to go out in. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suprastar 3,652 Posted December 20, 2013 same as me. feels alot colder than the same temps in Australia, especially when it rains or theres a bit of wind around. pretty much wearing 3 layers when i go out now.. contemplating getting some uniqlo heattech if the temps drops even more.. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sugar Mountain 193,820 Posted December 20, 2013 Heat tech is a smart idea. This may seem totally obvious but be sure to check the sizing. I wear Small in Uniqlo HT bought in the UK but am a Medium in Uniqlo HT bought in HK. This is for the crew next tees at least. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not been inside but the stock looks good for what you're after. Thanks. Will try to find and check it out. Im also trying to find the adipower weightlifting shoes, hopefully they have some there. Temp is approx 12, im wearing some uniqlo heatech and a 15oz sammy denim jacket and its totally fine. Went to check out a newly open uniqlo at CWB, all the good sizes of the black skinny jeans are all sold out. Wtf. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
