Stopover in Hong Kong

If you just have a short stopover, the local tourist office has some useful suggestions: http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/travelneeds/intransit/index.jhtml

Then for some suggestions on electronics try: http://www.batgung.com/articles/buyingelectronics.htm

Happy shopping,

MrB

Re:One day on HKG

You probably won't get the exact same product you want to buy, but you could try comparing the prices you see here http://www.broadway.com.hk/ with the prices at home to get an idea.

Also take a look at http://www.batgung.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=23 and http://www.batgung.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=177 to get a feel for the vendors' list prices in the big stores compare with street prices.

Cheers, MrB

tanks MrB. The link for shoppiong u gave was helpful, though is there way i can get prices in HKG for various electronics (comaprable to those in markets since i can't buy from net), i just wanted to compare them with US prices and India (my home) prices so that i can actually compare the pros & cons

Thanks a ton man.
