Any reason why must buy from HK instead of locally? local more expensive?

[d2sign]

ADA are much cheaper in Hong Kong.

[blue33]

Cheaper by 30-40%. Lots of stuff you cant find in singapore.

The MH bulb last time I saw in HK was $90+, compare to singapore prices $13x.

Wow thanks for the tips.

Any unique items that you brought back?

Eleocharis acicularis you being looking for. I only bought 1 pot, also bought some rare plant that cant find here, the leaves is like red leopard skin and also the extreme red rotala and etc..., i only managed to roam around goldfish street for less than 2 days. Met Dave Chow and Cliff Hui, had a very long chat with them especially Dave Chow, a great guy you can talk to, he shared lots of information with me on keeping planted tank. Btw Dave Chow owns a shop there. Will post a thread on the trip sometime later.

I'm sure you benefited from the trip! An eye opener. If you have plenty of things to buy, it's best to write a list of them before heading down. On my first time there, i took almost 4 days before i can finish getting my stuff. Then again, when i came back, i told myself to go again because i forgot to get some other stuff.

Cheers!

Yes, it's really an eye opening, lots of things to see, but... most woman dont like it, luckily beside the street there's clothing and others stuff which woman like it. The most fruitful is talking to those pro guys there beside the stuff selling there. Had planned earlier what to buy there and got what i want. Still like many people said, still not enough time to roam around, really lots of things to see. Some of the things are really cheaper, eg ADA Aqua soil only sell SGD$24.

Adrian, quickly make time to start your trip thread else this thread will be off topic, waiting for your's

I need to wear a mask first before i can release the photo.

Welldone. Those who like land plants can try prince street where they sell lots of very nice orchid, bromy, etc but remember to remove all soil before coming back.

Around the corner there is RC section where all the RC geeks can go! There is ladies street & a 3 story espirit shop nearby to satisfy all the ladies need. Food is everywhere & a money changer round the corner too if you're in need for HKD. Which happens quite often to us. Buy Buy Buy!

For those who likes shooting macros, butterflies, it's also a great place to be in.

So many things to do, so little time. Those who wants to buy heavy items or plenty of items, still best to DHL them back to Singapore. I think cost around $150 per box. Can ship lots of stuff!

Thanks for boosting the economy!

Cheers!
