    Yeah, I budget in US$.

    100HK$ is around 15,000 won which is what my double whopper meal costs me once I add some bacon and a side order of nuggets... I may be wrong, but the prices of food and travel look cheaper than Korea; my 55 minute train ride from Daejeon to Seoul costs 150HK$...

    Go Bettyboo, the intrepid TD travel and news correspondent!

    Will just put this vid in case anyone's interested. It's about Jomalig Island (homalig, Spanish pronunciation) in PI. It's been featured in one travel /news show (KMJS) and here's another travel show which visited it - newly uploaded on the Tube
    . It's still relatively unspoiled and there are a few resorts with a/c, if one wants the mod-cons. Language is in Tagalog-English, so you'll be able to catch a few words here and there. Or just skip the words and see the beaches and seafood (golden beach, white sand beach, rocky beach). It's on my bucket list - just need to coordinate time & leave breaks with friends. A colleague went there last Easter break - she said there weren't enough boats since they're not too ready to handle mass tourism yet, and the port was chock full of ppl. Traveling around the island is via motorbike taxis.

    Cheers!

    Do they have windows at the racetrack and casinos, take cash to both and go back to the hotel when it runs out.

    The "waitresses/waiters" can get awfully attractive whether in Hong Kong, Macau or Bangkok. Especially after too many complimentary drinks.

    Thanks to everyone for their support.

    I'll take care at the races, go out with $100 and just spend that, same if I go to a casino (which I probably will); $100 to lose. I've worked pretty hard over the last 6 months, so I don't mind blowing out some $$$ while having some fun. I put about US$1500 aside to spend this trip, I can afford that, so I'll spend it and have a good time. Actually, I'm really looking forward to the food, as well as getting the train up the hill, maybe a junk/HK ferry across the bay, relaxing in the famous little parks, seeing HK by night, the night time races should be mad fun, slower pace of Macau's old town, the tackiness of Vegas Chinese style, the turboferry from HK to M, lots to see and do. Can't believe I haven't been before...

    She did make some disgruntled noises, it has to be said, but I have sold her on the idea that every 6 months I do a one week holiday alone to somewhere I've never been before. She is welcome to come on one of them if she wants...

    You're very welcome. I'm staying in the area on the 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th - any day suits me. My plan is the racing tomorrow night (might sneak into the Stable Bend Terrace), but pretty much free the other 3 nights...

    HK alone, that's quite a lame trip when you have so many options out there

    what about Laos, LamChaBang, a UNESCO classified historic city

    Odds on 'Yuki' being a cat-fishing middle-aged man: quite high.

    Commensurate odds on Betty being bound, ball-gagged, and violated goat stylez after meeting 'Yuki' and 'her' boyfriend: also quite high.

    /\ I hope so...


    First impressions - great place; loving it. Quite a long trip, started from home 11pm last night. So having a quick kip then heading to the racetrack.

    Airport experience, excellent. Express train into HK, excellent. New sim for Hk, Macau and China, excellent. First lunch, 6 dollars us and excellent. Little walk around, excellent. Hotel, excellent.

    Taking lots of pics, so I'll do a photothread when I get back to Korea.

    Well they aren't astronomical odds.

    If correct 'Yuki', strangely and perhaps damningly for TD, would be far from the first middle-aged bloke pretending to be an Asian woman on this forum.

    Happy travels to you, Betty!

    @ant - I guess Betty, BLD, Terry and AO (who I've all met) can say whether I'm a white bloke pretending to be an Asian bird. Bloke and bird - the lingo that I picked up from TD! Heh...

    ^ You could prove it with some full frontal hiking photos Katie.

    Its common knowledge that male climbers get erections due to altitude and blood pressure.

    Well thats what I told the last tour group

    Never any doubts there Katie I've seen the proof myself.

    There have been a disturbing amount of forum cross-dressers though, a few of them the same guy.

    No but that's not to say they don't have a collection of 'beefcake pics'. Stuck to their wall. That they stare at every night. And frig themselves over whilst muttering something about grunting and groaning in the gym...

    bb, recommend you visit tai o, the unique fishing village at the far end of lantau island. boat and bus trip. use public transport, dont bother with a tourist tour.

    in macau, once away from the casino area and the hordes of chain smoking spitting chinese, walk the residential avenues and parks and enjoy the cafe culture there.

    enjoy.

    Where's Betty?

    I see the Chinks are trying to smash through the Government's HQ right now

    He should be home now, wonder if he's still there or something happened in a Wanchai brothel or he lost his shirt at Happy Valley or wifey's upped and left with his iMac
