Well, some of us have to cherish our musical heritage. There will never be another 80s era!

Yup, I think he was born in 1953 or something. And I think he was the 3rd person online after Al Gore invented it.

hi all, thanks for all the info so far!
Hi jevad, i would love to shop for like clothings.like nice designer(us) kind of clothes. something more interesting not like the same old boring stuff i can find here in SG.
heard that there are a lot of designers who set up shops there to sell stuff. any idea if they are all consolidated at one mega street?(then again, they'll probably kill each other off)
a nice place to chill out after a long day would be good too. preferably playing arcade fire or anything indie like.
last qns: what would u recommend me to do there for the first time being there? let me know what i might be missing out!
GIANT THANK YOU!

any first timer has to see the view from the peak. take the peak tram up the mountain. then take a bus down the mountain. also you must take the star ferry across the harbour.

woooot~!
sounds like a view already!
thanks!

i always goto hk on business ...i ususally stay in the intercontinental hotel...on the second floor of this hotel is a lovely bar with tall vaulted ceilings with white curtains draped like in the movie Hero. [the fight scene in the palace] its very pretty and the everyone is very stylized...its a great atmosphere to start the day from or to meet clients and such. i always drink a grey goose gimlet and then go for long walks...
be care ful when crossing the streets, dont jay-walk, listen for the "clicking sound" to cross the street. and NEVER LITTER meaning dont throw cigs on the sidewalk if you smoke.
have fun!! :)

actually, the intercontinental lower lobby has one of the best views, some top travel websites consider this one of the top 50 things to see in your life. so check that out as well.

"good place to buy Canon Lenses?"
Tin Cheung Camera Company in TST is by far the best camera company in hk. beware of the super cheap offers from the dodgey stores.
