Hey folks,

I am settling in to my new digs and there are some scattered things I'm looking for. I was hoping you'd be able to tell me the cheapest places to get them. Here goes:


-FLASH CARDS (like, the things people use to write out speeches)

-Spices.

- A MIDDLE EASTERN GROCERY

- cutting board/spatulas/cutlery/dishware/

-tupperware

-A TELEVISION



Thanks. Twisted Evil

CURTAINS (i'm pretty sure that's a mainland thing, but I figured you might have some ideas Smile)

If your windows are standard size you can try IKEA for curtains.
I had some made at a shop down Fa Yuen St in Mong Kok. Other people have had them made in Shenzhen.

The other popular location to get Indian, Africaan and Middle Eastern groceries, is Chung King Mansions in Nathan Road, located in the block before you hit the Sheraton Towers Hotel side/end of TST.
