What do i need to bring to the airport? I'm bringing my e-ticket, my passport, cash and that's about it. am i forgetting something? I already got the multi-entry visa thing.

What should I do or see in HK? I've got a good list of sights and attractions, but any ideas are welcome.

and is it okay to carry a tablet of viagra with me? It's not gonna get me arrested at the airport, is it?

Go to: (excuse my badly spelled Chinese names.)

The peak (Victoria Peak.) You can take a tram up there from Hong Kong Island.

Tsim tsa chau (pronounced chim tsa choi) on Kowloon island. Lots of restaurants, great atmosphere; feels more Chinese than HK island. try szechuan hotpot here; amazing.

The ferry terminal area on kowloon; good view of HK island, good for photos.

lang kwai fong the main drinking/downtown area on hong kong island; really really cool, always really busy; great atmosphere! don;t miss out on this.

There are a number of markets; the womans market is great loads of weird trinkets and rip off gear to buy! try some turtle shell black herb soup from one of the traditional soup places; might need a local to tell you where one is.

theres a couple of other markets too; try them they are really cracking do a search for traditional hk markets.

you could also get the fast ferry to macau from hong kong island; good day out.

make sure you try and go to a traditional dim sum restaurant, they are cheap and the food is amazing, but often the menus in these places are Chinese only; get a local to help you.

Loads more to do but these will get you started. Oh, the shopping is pretty amazing too; makes Korea look absolutely shit on all levels.

Wow I thought I imagined your Viagra post; it's a pharmaceutical; should be ok.

Dim-sum for brunch.

The star ferry at night aross the harbor.

Beers in wan chai. Can be a bit dodgy, but a lot more interesting than the pretense of lan kwai fong

hong kong is one of those cities , that you can make two turns and find something cool. ( unless you dont like traveling)
why just the one tablet?

[quote="hugekebab"]Ah I'm talking as a tourist, not lived there (yet). is wan chai on kowloon?[/quote]

No, it's on Hong Kong Island. The bar district is near the huge convention center. Wan Chai itself is a large administrative district. It's a short cab ride from Central.

you'll have a blast! hong kong is a great city...food is so cheap and good too

Hong Kong Island - SOHO, Lan Kwan Fong - take the mid level escalator up. Tons of bars (expat hangout), The Peak is a must.

Kowloon - Mongkok , Temple Street Market

Just walk around ... you cant get lost. FYI - only certain taxis will go across the the bridge without extra fee. My advice is to take the Star Ferry or MTR.
